From Prayer to Practice
In a religiously diverse world, understanding how young children perceive and interact with peers from other religious groups is pivotal for promoting harmony from an early age.

Conducted with 210 children aged 3–6 years (mean = 4.19 years; 50.7% boys) from the majority religion (Catholic) in s…

Twelve adolescents (aged 14 to 18) who had attended mental health…

The interview guide focussed on their parenting experience in social contexts such as interactions wi…

Be good, know the rules
Despite the importance of self-regulation for school readiness and success across the lifespan, little is known about children's conceptions of this important ability. Using mixed-method interviews, this research examined kindergarten children's (n = 57) perspectives on self-regulation in a disadvantaged area in Dublin, Ireland. Children depicted school as requiring regulation of their emotional, cognitive and behavioural responses. They characte…
Depression stigma among adolescents in Ireland
Adolescent depression is widespread, yet very few studies have examined the stigmatizing attitudes adolescents’ hold toward peers with depression. This study employs a theoretically driven definition of stigma, and explores a range of depression stigma predictors (gender, depression label, contact w
Adolescents’ Explanations for the Exclusion of Peers With Mental Health Problems
Young people with mental health problems are often excluded from their peer group; however, research has not specifically explored their peers’ explanations for this exclusion. Drawing on data from group interviews with Irish adolescents ( N = 148), this study explores the reasons offered for rejecting young people with mental health problems. Such reasons include perceived violation of expectations of friendships, and perceived social and person…

Using implicit measures to explore children’s intergroup attitudes
In recent years, implicit measures of attitude have emerged as increasingly important methods in research with adults; however, they have been used less often in research with children or adolescents. The present article seeks to initiate wider discussion on the potential for using implicit measures with young people by providing readers with an introduction to their use in child and adolescent research on intergroup attitudes and offering some g…
Big, strong and healthy’. Young children’s identification of food and drink that contribute to healthy growth
Considering the realities of salivary research with young children
Over the last two decades, interest in salivary research in the social sciences has grown rapidly. Salivary research is appealing as a quick, inexpensive and non-invasive means of determining a range of biological markers, which offer insight into a variety of human responses, for example, stress. To the social researcher these advantages provide exciting possibilities for new transactions between social, behavioural and biological models of deve…
