Palestinian Refugee Youth in Jordan
In this study, a total of 335 Palestinian refugees ( M = 15.5 years, SD = 1.05, 49% males), recruited from four United Nations Relief and Work Agency (UNRWA) schools at the Al-Baqa'a and Jabal Al-Hussein refugee camps in Jordan, rated their neighborhood physical environment and neighborhood support and cohesion, separately rated their mothers' and fathers' parenting on several dimensions, and reported on their adjustment to these circumstances (i…
I didn’t want to, but then I told”
This study examined 131 U.S. middle class early, middle, and late adolescents' (M age = 12.74, 15.81, and 20.40 years, respectively) narratives regarding experiences of disclosure, concealment, and lying to parents and responses to direct probes about lessons learned about self and parents. The thematic content focused primarily on routine activities and peer experiences, and to a lesser extent, romantic issues, risky or delinquent behavior, and …
Consensus statement on group care for children and adolescents
Group care for children and adolescents is widely used as a rearing environment and sometimes used as a setting in which intensive services can be provided. This consensus statement on group care affirms that children and adolescents have the need and right to grow up in a family with at least 1 committed, stable, and loving adult caregiver. In principle, group care should never be favored over family care. Group care should be used only when it …
Early and Middle Adolescents' Reasoning About Moral and Personal Concerns in Opposite‐sex Interactions
This study examined how adolescents coordinate personal and moral concerns in reasoning about opposite‐sex interactions. Sixty‐four early and middle adolescents ( M s = 12.74, 16.05 years) were individually interviewed about two hypothetical situations involving opposite‐sex interactions (commenting on appearance, initiating a date), presented in four conditions that varied the salience of personal vs. moral concerns. Overall, participants viewed…
The Biology of Morality
Morality has been defined as prescriptive norms regarding how individuals ought to treat one another [Kant, 1785/1959]. The formulation of the categorical imperative – act in such a way that you would will your act to be universal – has led developmental psychologists to study the emergence, origins, structure, and sequence of children’s understanding of norms regarding justice, fairness, and equality [Piaget, 1932], and how children reason when …
Adolescents' and parents' changing conceptions of parental authority
Middle‐Class African American Parents’ Conceptions of Parenting in Early Adolescence
Conceptions of parenting were examined in 87 middle‐class African American parents (87 mothers and 51 fathers) of early adolescents ( M = 13.11 years of age). Using semistructured interviews, parents were queried about two developmentally salient issues of early adolescence: parental limit‐setting and adolescent independence. Parents primarily defined firm limits in terms of nonnegotiation, strongly endorsed setting firm limits regarding a range …
