Social context and daily fluctuations in adolescents’ mindset
Mindset is generally conceptualized as a stable trait, but recent research suggests that the social context may play a pivotal role in its development and adjustment (de Ruiter & Thomaes, 2023; King, 2020); Lou & Li, 2023). Empirical investigations have primarily focused on the social context of teachers and peers with less attention to the role of parents. This study seeks to explore the relationship between parents and their adolescents’ intell…
The Association Between Classroom Descriptive Norms, Relationship Quality and the Development of Adolescents’ Executive Functioning
Despite work demonstrating that executive function development is influenced by the social environment during childhood, little is known about these processes during adolescence either inside or outside the classroom. This study examined the relationship between executive function development and two social-contextual factors, namely the impact of classroom descriptive norms regarding executive functioning, and perceived social support from teach…
The Quality of Parent-Adolescent and Peer-Adolescent Relationships and Trust in Strangers
Trust experiences gained from close others may generalize to trust interactions with strangers. In this longitudinal study, we examined the association between the quality of relationships with parents and peers and trust in strangers over age. The three waves were 12 months apart (parent relationship: N : 547, M age : 12.5; N : 505, M age : 13.5; N : 406, M age : 14.5; peer relationship: N : 567, M age : 12.6; N : 511, M age : 13.5; N : 416, M a…
Kind actions, kind reactions? The impact of considerate behavior on children’s social preferences
Being considerate of other people's needs is an important way in which people show they care about others. Do young children pick up on this social signal? Across three preregistered studies ( N = 254; 125 boys, 129 girls, 87%-89% Dutch), we investigated children's evaluation of and behavior toward considerate and inconsiderate peers. An internal meta-analysis of Studies 1 and 2 showed that children (4-7 years) did not like considerate peers more…
Similarities in mindset between adolescents’ friends and cooperation partners
Peers, in terms of both friends and cooperation partners, are a very important aspect of the social context of adolescents. They may affect adolescents' intelligence mindsets and therefore their school motivation and success. Being friends or cooperating with a peer with a similar mindset might either enhance (in case of a growth mindset) or hinder (in case of a fixed mindset) adolescents' motivation to learn. In this cross-sectional social netwo…
The development of depression and social anxiety symptoms in adolescents and the negative impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and desire for peer contact
Introduction: Adolescence is a dynamic developmental phase in which contact with peers is crucial for socio-emotional development and wellbeing. Depression and social anxiety show patterns of high onset during this period, and more for girls than boys. Here we examine this development among Dutch adolescents, as well as how desire for more peer contact as a result of social distancing measures during the COVID-19 pandemic contributed to this incr…
Social Contexts, Momentary Mood and Affective Variability in Early Adolescence
The frequency, intensity and variability of emotional experiences increase in early adolescence, which may be partly due to adolescents’ heightened affective sensitivity to social stimuli. While this increased variability is likely intrinsic to adolescent development, greater mood variability is nevertheless associated with the risk of internalising psychopathology. Early adolescents (N = 58, ages 13–14) reported their social context and mood whe…
The Effect of Relative Pubertal Maturation and Perceived Popularity on Symptoms of Depression and Social Anxiety in Adolescent Boys and Girls
Research has shown that adolescents – particularly girls – who mature relatively early often experience more internalizing problems. This effect is thought to be partially driven by psychosocial mechanisms, but previous research based relative pubertal maturation on complete samples or population standards, instead of considering the adolescents’ direct peer environment. In the current study the level of adolescents’ pubertal development was asse…
A Few Close Friends? Adolescent Friendships’ Effect on Internalizing Symptoms Is Serially Mediated by Desire for More Friends and Social Goal Orientation
Interpersonal connection is a fundamental human motivation, and the extent to which it is fulfilled is a strong predictor of symptoms of internalizing disorders such as social anxiety and depression, perhaps especially during the “social reorienting” period of adolescence. However, little is known about the contribution to this effect of the individual’s social motivations, which are intensified during adolescence. Furthermore, social goal orient…
Prosocial choices
Adults often act considerately toward others, for example, by leaving the last cookie on a plate or stepping aside on a busy sidewalk. What do young children infer from observing considerate behavior? In three preregistered studies, we assess how young children evaluate considerate and inconsiderate behavior by showing them animated videos in which targets make decisions that either leave or limit choice options for others. Study 1 ( N = 372 6- t…
Social Cognition and Friendships in Adolescents With Autistic-Like Experiences and Psychotic-Like Experiences
Autism spectrum conditions (ASC) and schizophrenia spectrum conditions (SSC) are both characterized by changes in social-cognitive functioning. Less is known about the overlap and the differences in social-cognitive functioning when comparing individuals with subclinical levels of ASC and SSC, while studies in non-clinical samples have the benefit of avoiding confounds that are present in clinical groups. Therefore, we first examined how autistic…
Childhood Obesity and Breastfeeding Rates in Pennsylvania Counties—Spatial Analysis of the Lactation Support Landscape
Childhood obesity is a global public health issue. As the prevalence of childhood obesity continues to rise, identification of potential interventions by public health policy makers and health care providers is imperative. Breastfeeding, the most optimal method of infant feeding, has been demonstrated to protect against childhood obesity. Lactation support providers (LSPs) play a key role in providing education, care, and support to families cons…
The effect of social feedback from peers on adolescent cognitive control
INTRODUCTION: Social feedback can influence cognitive control during adolescence, particularly if provided by peers. The main aim of this study was to investigate if feedback given by liked or disliked peers differentially influenced adolescents' cognitive control. The second aim was to investigate if these effects could be linked to the participants' social embeddedness in their classroom. METHODS: A personalized incentive go/no-go task was admi…
Do you see what I see? Sex differences in the discrimination of facial emotions during adolescence
During adolescence social relationships become increasingly important. Establishing and maintaining these relationships requires understanding of emotional stimuli, such as facial emotions. A failure to adequately interpret emotional facial expressions has previously been associated with various mental disorders that emerge during adolescence. The current study examined sex differences in emotional face processing during adolescence. Participants…
Neuromyths in Education
The OECD's Brain and Learning project (2002) emphasized that many misconceptions about the brain exist among professionals in the field of education. Though these so-called "neuromyths" are loosely based on scientific facts, they may have adverse effects on educational practice. The present study investigated the prevalence and predictors of neuromyths among teachers in selected regions in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. A large observati…
