Intertwined Trajectories of Family, School, and Community Connections and Their Impacts on Adolescent Well‐Being and Engagement
INTRODUCTION: The quality of adolescents' connections with family, school, and community is a key determinant of their mental health, social competence, and overall well-being. However, few studies have examined the joint developmental trajectories of these connections over time and their impact on adolescents' subjective well-being, peer support, and participation in school and home life. METHODS: = 11.34, SD = 0.47; 55.2% female) across three t…
Reciprocal Relationships between Bullying Victimization and Prosocial Behavior and the Mediating Role of Self-Esteem among Chinese Boys and Girls
Self-esteem mediates the association of leisure activities with adolescents’ mental health difficulties and prosocial behavior
Research has shown that adolescents’ engagement in leisure activities is associated with self-esteem, mental health difficulties, and prosocial behavior, but limited research has explored their longitudinal association and potential mediation pathways. This study examined if self-esteem mediates the association between leisure activities and adolescents’ mental health difficulties and prosocial behavior. A secondary analysis of the Millennium Coh…
Perceptions of STEM Barriers in Adolescence
This 2-year longitudinal study examines the relations between math and science interest, STEM identity, and perceptions of STEM barriers in 280 (68% female; M age = 15.27) adolescents in the United States and the United Kingdom. Structural equation models indicated that higher math interest at time 1 was positively associated with overall STEM identity at time 2, and greater STEM identity at time 2 was related to fewer perceptions of barriers to …
Developmental Trajectories of Adolescents’ Math Motivation
Reciprocal Associations Between Science Efficacy, STEM Identity and Scientist Career Interest Among Adolescent Girls within the Context of Informal Science Learning
Limited research has explored the longitudinal pathway to youth career interests via identity and efficacy together. This study examined the longitudinal associations between science efficacy, STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) identity, and scientist career interest among girls who are historically considered as an underrepresented group among scientists. The sample included 308 girls (M age = 15.22, SD age = 1.66; 42.8% White) fro…
The role of parenting, self-compassion and friendships in depressive symptoms among young people in the UK and China
Self-compassion, being kind to oneself in difficult times, is a way of relating to oneself that promotes better mental health, but little is known about how self-compassion affects interpersonal relationships. The current study examined the association between self-compassion and adolescent depressive symptoms from an interpersonal perspective in different cultural contexts. Adolescents ( N = 422/570, Mean age = 14.44/13.41, UK/China) completed q…
How do self-transcendent values and institutional forces influence consumer intentions to purchase new energy vehicles under subsidy withdrawal? Evidence from China
Promoting Diverse Youth’s Career Development through Informal Science Learning
Little research has examined the associations between perceived inclusivity within informal science learning sites, youth program belonging and perceptions of program career preparation. This study explored relations between these factors at three timepoints (T1 = start of program, T2 = 3 months and T3 = 12 months after start). Participants were a diverse sample of 209 adolescents participating in STEM youth programs within informal science learn…
