The Family Stress Model
In this study, longitudinal relations in the Family Stress Model (FSM) within a Nordic welfare state were tested, using different indicators of socioeconomic status, father's mental distress, parental stress, and caregiving practices, as well as child physical aggression. A population-based sample of fathers and their children ( N = 1157; 48 % girls, years of education father [ M = 13.86; SD = 2.60], mother [ M = 14.28; SD = 2.58]) was used. More…
The role of mother’s education and child gender for children’s vocabulary and math skills in the transition from Early Childhood Education and Care to first grade in Norway
Parental education and child gender are related to learning and development during childhood and adolescence. The present study investigated the role of mother’s education level and child gender for children’s vocabulary and math skills in Norway. Children’s vocabulary and math skills were assessed in Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) centers (Mage = 5.8; N = 243, 49.4% girls) and first grade (Mage = 6.8 years). Results showed that matern…
Development and psychometric properties of nomination scales for high academic potential in early childhood education and care
This paper describes the development of two nomination scales designed to measure parents’ and teachers’ perceptions of high academic potential among young children, and how the scores correlate with assessed high potential. Parents and teachers of 243 children (49% girls) taking part in the research project ‘Skoleklar’ responded to written surveys, and children were evaluated with specially designed assessments on tablet computers. Principal com…
Effects of a school-based intervention on levels of anxiety and depression
No effects of the intervention were found. This large universal school-based trial suffered from considerable drop-out of participants. Experiences from implementation and evaluation of universal mental health promotion and preventive school interventions are thoroughly discussed, including, preparation, resources, support, time, realistic expectations, teacher selection and training, implementation, research designs and more. Several empirically…
Bullying Victimization and Trauma
Bullying victimization and trauma research traditions operate quite separately. Hence, it is unclear from the literature whether bullying victimization should be considered as a form of interpersonal trauma. We review studies that connect bullying victimization with symptoms of PTSD, and in doing so, demonstrate that a conceptual understanding of the consequences of childhood bullying needs to be framed within a developmental perspective. We disc…
Pandemic-Related Stress Symptoms Among Norwegian Parents of Adolescents in Grades 6 to 8
We investigated pandemic-related stress symptoms during the first COVID-19 lockdown period in spring 2020 among parents of adolescents that were 11 to 13 years old in the study period. We also investigated whether parental stress symptoms were associated with family situation and family activities during lockdown. Altogether 147 couples reported about their own trauma-related stress symptoms following the outbreak of the pandemic. Among the respo…
Direct and indirect pathways from children’s early self-regulation to academic achievement in fifth grade in Norway
A large body of research has documented the role of self-regulation in academic skill development for young children. However, few studies have investigated longitudinal and indirect effects from kindergarten through later elementary school. In this longitudinal Norwegian study, we investigated pathways from children’s self-regulation in kindergarten (Mage = 5.8; N = 243, 49% girls), to language and math skills in first grade (N = 240) and readin…
The role of social support in the acculturation and mental health of unaccompanied minor asylum seekers
There is a lack of knowledge about psychosocial resources that may sustain post‐resettlement psychological adjustment among unaccompanied minor asylum‐seekers. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of social support from family abroad and friends on acculturation, discrimination, and mental health among these vulnerable children and youth. Questionnaire data were collected from a population‐based multi‐ethnic sample involving 895 una…
Depression among unaccompanied minor refugees
The findings underscore the importance of current life conditions for unaccompanied refugees' mental health
Social psychological processes in family and school
This study looked at students' perceptions of the three socialization processes of connection, regulation, and autonomy with their parents and teachers, and the relation of these issues to bullying peers. Self‐reported data were collected from a representative sample of Norwegian eighth graders ( N =2,083, 1,010 boys, and 1,073 girls). Findings partially confirm our hypotheses that we generated from earlier research into general antisocial behavi…
Aggression and bullying
Models are presented describing how bullying others and being bullied are related to proactive and reactive aggressiveness. This was investigated among 1801 pupils in Norwegian schools at the end of grade five and among 2083 pupils at the end of grade eight. Pupils in the two samples were approximately 11 and 14 years old, respectively. The procedure of structural equation modeling with latent variables was followed using LISREL 8.30 to estimate …
