Hartert; Sean Deoni; Assiamira Ferrara; Amy J. Elliott – Developmental Psychology, 2024
A large body of research has established a relation between maternal education and children's neurocognitive functions, such as executive function and language. However, most studies have focused on early childhood and relatively few studies have examined associations with changes in maternal education over time. Consequently, it remains unclear…

Tania Clarke; Ros McLellan; Gordon Harold – School Psychology Review, 2025
Academic attainment is a core education policy priority. Wellbeing is recognized as critical for adolescent development, and is linked to academic attainment. Yet research with adolescents primarily focuses on life satisfaction or overall wellbeing, despite differentiating conceptually between two wellbeing components "feeling" good…

Benjamin Ganschow; Sven Zebel; Job van der Schalk; Hal E. Hershfield; Jean-Louis van Gelder – Journal of Early Adolescence, 2024
In this study, we investigate how the accumulation of stressful life events and chronic stressors experienced in adolescence predict young adults' future self-identification (i.e., connectedness, vividness, and valence of the future self) in a sample of 1482 Swiss youth. Furthermore, we investigate future self-identification as a source of…

Isis Angelica Segura; Hugo Cogo-Moreira; Ali Nouri; Monica Carolina Miranda; Sabine Pompéia – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2024
Cultural background can influence cognition, including executive functions (EFs), abilities that encompass skills responsible for self-regulation of thoughts and behavior. The seminal unity and diversity model of EFs proposes the existence, in adulthood, of at least three correlated but separable EF latent (shared variance in more than one…

Aims: The aim of this narrative review is to explore the distinctive needs of young people in custody with traumatic brain injury (TBI), and the implications for rehabilitation, education, and community inclusion. Some research suggests a higher prevalence of TBI in the youth custodial population (Farrer et al., 2013; Hughes et al., 2015). TBI can…

Leer, Jane; Gassman-Pines, Anna; Djé Blé, Eric; Kainessie, Josephine; Kennedy, Catherine; Press, Sarah; Schubert, Heidi – Journal of Early Adolescence, 2022
This study investigated attitudes toward restrictive gender norms among adolescents in Côte d'Ivoire and Sierra Leone (pooled N = 1,793, M[subscript age(baseline)] = 10.3, M[subscript age(follow-up)] = 11.6, 50% boys/girls). We examined individual and contextual predictors of gender attitudes, assessed change in gender attitudes over 2 years, and…

Riccio, Ariana; Kapp, Steven K.; Jordan, Allison; Dorelien, Anna Marie; Gillespie-Lynch, Kristen – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
A large body of literature examines parental interpretations of their child's autism diagnosis. However, research examining intersections between parental disclosure of their child's autism diagnosis to their child and their child's identity development is lacking. The primary aim of this study was to analyze if parental decisions to…

Background: Within the positive youth development (PYD) perspective, internal assets (e.g., social competencies and positive identity) and external assets (e.g., support and empowerment) constitute developmental assets that can facilitate positive youth outcomes. This assertion has been studied mainly in the US context and to a lesser degree in…

Pan, Jingtong; Zaff, Jonathan F.; Porche, Michelle – Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk, 2020
Childhood adversities tend to impact development in a cumulative way. However, extant research on childhood adversities has focused on a variable-centered approach to examine the cumulative effect of adversity. Using Latent Class Analysis (LCA) and adopting a pattern-centered approach, the authors investigate how different youth may experience…
