“What Are Some of the Things You Are Worried About?”: An Analysis of Youth's Open‐Ended Responses of Current Worries
INTRODUCTION: There is widespread concern that contemporary global issues (e.g., climate change, technology use) are exacerbating a "youth wellbeing crisis." However, we have heard little about this issue from youth themselves. To ascertain whether youth themselves are worried about global issues, their mental health, or other aspects of their life, we asked youth an open-ended question about their current worries. Further, we assessed whether me…
Generational Shifts in Adolescent Mental Health: A Longitudinal Time-Lag Study
There is concern that adolescents today are experiencing a “mental health crisis” compared to previous generations. Research has lacked a longitudinal time-lag design to directly compare depressive symptoms and social anxiety of adolescents in two generations. The current study surveyed 1081 adolescents in the current generation ( M age = 14.60, SD = 0.31, 49% female) and 1211 adolescents in a previous generation ( M age = 14.40, SD = 0.51, 51% f…
Longitudinal Changes in Psychosocial Adjustment Before and During the Covid-19 Pandemic for Adolescents with Differential Patterns of Solitude and Sociability
What does it mean to be alone? An analysis of interpretations of solitude among adolescents and adults
When is Solitude Maladaptive for Adolescents? A Comprehensive Study of Sociability and Characteristics of Solitude
Differentiating Patterns of Vaping, Alcohol, and Cannabis Use Among Early Adolescents
The current study assessed whether risk factors associated with vaping were distinct from risk factors associated with other substance use (e.g., alcohol, cannabis) during adolescence. Participants ( N = 848, ages 10–16 years) completed a self-report survey to assess frequency and age of onset of substance use, risk perceptions of use, risk factors (depressive symptoms, sensation seeking, and parent-reported factors), and vape nicotine content. G…
Affinity for Solitude and Motivations for Spending Time Alone Among Early and Mid- Adolescents
Gender differences in perceptions of and experiences with remuneration and negotiation among early workers
Investigating the impacts of personality on the use and perceptions of online collaborative platforms in higher education
A latent class examination of affinity for aloneness in late adolescence and emerging adulthood
Affinity for aloneness (i.e., an enjoyment of solitude) has been associated with negative adjustment, but it may depend on whether solitude is motivated by social anxiety. Thus, the current study investigated differences in affinity for aloneness in late adolescents and emerging adults while controlling for social anxiety. In a sample of late adolescents ( N = 739, M age = 16 years) and a sample of emerging adults ( N = 600, M age = 25 years), fo…
