Teachers as Beacons of Hope: The Mediating Role of Future Expectations on the Association Between Student-Teacher Relationships and Justice-Involved Adolescents’ Grades and Offending
Justice-involved adolescents are at increased risk for poor academic outcomes and reoffending. However, strong bonds with teachers have been shown to promote academic success and encourage desistance. The current study examined whether more hopeful future expectations mediated the association between student-teacher relationships and justice-involved adolescents’ offending and grades, respectively, using data from a longitudinal study of male you…
Perceived sleep quality predicts aggressive offending in adolescence and young adulthood
BACKGROUND: There are profound consequences when developing youth do not get adequate sleep. Adolescents who experience poor sleep may be more likely to engage in offending behavior. While there is a documented association between the number of hours youth sleep and their likelihood of offending, it is unclear how youths' perceptions of their sleep quality contribute to offending. Further, scholars have yet to rigorously examine the relation betw…
A Mixed‐Methods Approach to Refining and Measuring the Construct of Positive Risk‐Taking in Adolescence
Adolescence is a peak period for risk-taking, but research has largely overlooked positive manifestations of adolescent risk-taking due to ambiguity regarding operationalization and measurement of positive risk-taking. We address this limitation using a mixed-methods approach. We elicited free responses from contemporary college students (N = 74, M age = 20.1 years) describing a time they took a risk. Qualitative analysis informed the constructio…
The Age–Crime Curve in Adolescence and Early Adulthood is Not Due to Age Differences in Economic Status
Adolescents, Parents, Friends/PeersWe thank D. Breakstone, M. Kerr, R. M. Lerner, H. Stattin, and C. Yuen. Preparation was supported by the Intramural Research Program of the NIH, NICHD.: A Relationsh…
This chapter first describes adolescence and salient individual-difference characteristics in adolescents that are germane to their relationships with parents and friends/peers. Second, it likewise treats parents and parenting. Third, the chapter links adolescents and parents and discusses their special bidirectional, transactional relationships. Fourth, it introduces adolescents' friends and peers and salient characteristics that are germane to …
Rethinking Juvenile Justice: Louisiana and Cuba after Slavery
What should we do with teenagers who commit crimes? In this book, two leading scholars in law and adolescent development argue that juvenile justice should be grounded in the best available psychological science, which shows that adolescence is a distinctive state of cognitive and emotional development. Although adolescents are not children, they are also not fully responsible adults
Sex Differences in Early Labor Force Experience: Harbinger of Things to Come
The increased participation of youngsters in the formal labor force raises questions about how early in individuals' occupational histories sex differences in labor force participation, and the rewards thereof, begin. Analysis of current and retrospective data obtained from 3,101 suburban 10th and 11th graders about their first and subsequent jobs shows that (a) adolescents' first jobs are significantly segregated by sex; (b) girls work fewer hou…
A Job is a Job is a Job… or is it: Behavioral Observations in the Adolescent Workplace
Researchers and policy makers have treated adolescent work experience as a unidimensional phenomenon and have ignored possible differences among jobs along the very dimensions of working posited as developmentally significant: opportunities for learning, initiative and autonomy, and interaction with others. Behavioral observations support the hypothesis that different work settings expose adolescent workers to substantially different experiences.…
Assessing Job Characteristics: When “Perceived” and “Objective” Measures Don't Converge
Personnel psychologists have long asked whether workers' own reports about their jobs (i.e., “perceived” information) resemble more “objective” assessments of their work settings. In the present paper convergence among three methods of assessing several job characteristics was examined. While workers' self-reports were significantly correlated with outsiders', i.e., non-incumbents', ratings, and outsiders' ratings, in turn, with behavioral observ…
Person‐environment congruence as a predictor of adolescent health and behavioral problems
Most research on health and behavioral outcomes of stressors has focused on adults. One stressor identified in this literature is lack of "fit," or congruence, between individual needs and environmental opportunities. This study examines relations between person-environment congruence in three settings (home, school, and peer group) and several indices of health and behavioral disorder among adolescents. We also examine whether person-environment…

Although research on day care has increased substantially in volume during the last 8 years, our actual knowledge of its effects is exceedingly limited. Generally, investigations have been conducted within high-quality centers which are not representative of most substitute-care environments. More seriously, most studies have …
