Development of subjective well-being in adolescents before and during the Covid-19 pandemic
Previous studies have already revealed detrimental effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on school students’ subjective well-being (SWB). However, there is a lack of studies examining the development of various facets of SWB such as life satisfaction, mood as well as domain satisfactions regarding peers, family, or school before and during the pandemic among adolescents longitudinally. Furthermore, the present study aims to shed further light on vario…
Socioemotional and sociodemographic determinants of subjective well-being in school during childhood and adolescence
Recent educational goals have expanded to include socio-emotional development and subjective well-being (SWB) at school, alongside academic performance. However, just a few studies have focused on the longitudinal determinants of school SWB across different educational stages. Therefore, socioemotional (ability self-concept, social integration, classroom climate, feeling accepted by teachers) and sociodemographic (gender, socioeconomic status and…
Empathy and psychopathology in children and adolescents
Our findings highlight the importance of implementing preventive programs for COPMI that specifically target the reduction of maladaptive ER
Parenting stress in parents with and without a mental illness and its relationship to psychopathology in children
Our findings highlight the importance of implementing intervention programs to reduce PS for parents and children. In particular, parents with a mental illness might benefit from specific intervention programs in order to interrupt the transgenerational transmission of mental disorders
Facial emotion recognition in children of parents with a mental illness
Our study does not support FER impairments as a general feature of COPMI. Instead, individual factors, such as the type of parental disorder and the timing of its onset, may play a crucial role in influencing FER development. Future research should consider these factors, taking into account the diverse landscape of parental mental disorders
When one has no Real illness”—analysis of the knowledge component of mental health literacy in children and adolescents of parents with a mental illness
Assessing COPMI's disorder knowledge and identifying associated age and sex differences yield valuable insights into the knowledge component of the MHL theory. Our findings can help to improve psychoeducational interventions for COPMI by orienting them to their prevailing levels of disorder knowledge. We recommend employing and extending the DSM-oriented deductive approach to assess knowledge within MHL. Analyses involving additional assessments …
On the association between students’ (domain-specific) subjective well-being and academic achievement—disentangling mixed findings
Today, there is wide recognition of schools as places that should foster children’s learning and well-being alike. The past two decades have thus witnessed an upsurge in research on children’s subjective well-being (SWB) in school and how it relates to their academic achievement. The first meta-analysis on the SWB/achievement relation revealed substantial, yet unexplained variability in effect sizes across samples and studies. In this context, in…
Leave Me Alone With Your Symptoms! Social Exclusion at the Workplace Mediates the Relationship of Employee's Mental Illness and Sick Leave
Although a substantial part of employees suffers from a mental illness, the work situation of this population still is understudied. Previous research suggests that people with a mental illness experience discrimination in the workplace, which is known to have detrimental effects on health. Building on the stereotype content model and allostatic load theory, the present study investigated whether employees with a mental illness become socially ex…
Elementary School Students’ Subjective Well-Being Before and During the Covid-19 Pandemic
First empirical results indicate that the COVID-19 pandemic has a negative impact on adolescents’ and adults’ subjective well-being. In the present study we focus on the subjective well-being of elementary school children before and after the first pandemic-related school lockdown and examine if possible declines in subjective well-being are especially pronounced for some groups, considering socio-economic status, migration background, and gender…
Why do students use strategies that hurt their chances of academic success? A meta-analysis of antecedents of academic self-handicapping
Performance-approach goals
The operationalization of performance-approach goals (PAGs) was found to be an important moderator of the associations between different PAGs and several educational outcomes. To explore this aspect in more detail, we conducted two studies with school students ( N 1 = 425, mean age = 16.6 years, SD = 0.61; N 2 = 310, mean age = 14.91, SD = 1.72). In study 1, we mainly focused on the associations between achievement goals and school grades. In stu…
Children of Mentally III Parents at Risk Evaluation (Compare)
Objectives: Mental disorders are frequent, associated with disability-adjusted life years, societal, and economic costs. Children of parents with a mental illness (COPMI) are at an increased risk to develop disorders themselves. The transgenerational transmission of mental disorders has been conceptualized in a model that takes parental and family factors, the social environment (i.e., school, work, and social support), parent-child-interaction a…
Development of Subjective Well-Being in Adolescence
Despite the importance of subjective well-being (SWB) for students' mental and physical health, there is a lack of longitudinal studies investigating the development of SWB in adolescents and what factors are associated with it over time. The present study seeks to shed further light on this question by investigating adolescents longitudinally. A sample of German academic tracks students ( N = 476) from five schools were followed longitudinally o…
Subjective Well-Being, Test Anxiety, Academic Achievement
In the context of adolescents' subjective well-being (SWB), research has recently focused on a number of different school variables. The direction of the relationships between adolescents' SWB, academic achievement, and test anxiety is, however, still open although reciprocal causation has been hypothesized. The present study set out to investigate to what extent SWB, academic achievement, and test anxiety influence each other over time. A sample…
