Stereotypes of men (e.g., strong, domineering, assertive) can harm boys' health and contribute to the normalization of sexual harassment. Yet research on how adolescents view masculinity is limited, particularly for those growing up during the #MeToo movement. Using a mixed-methods approach, we explore beliefs about masculinity in a sample of 16 to 19 year olds growing up in the UK (N = 129). Results from the quantitative analysis show that, compared to girls, boys report feeling more comfortable with media representations of hegemonic masculinity, greater adherence to hegemonic ideology, higher self-esteem, and less engagement with the topic. Results from the qualitative analysis reflected these findings; boys' descriptions of masculinity were more reliant on hegemonic ideals, and they were less critical of the topic than girls. Despite recent narratives on masculinity's place in society, this study suggests that boys are complacent about societal expectations to behave in line with gender stereotypes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

While it has been shown that university attendance is strongly predicted by parental education, we know very little about why some potential first-generation students make it to university and others do not. This paper looks at the role of non-cognitive skills in the university participation of this disadvantaged group in England. We find that having higher levels of locus of control, academic self-concept, work ethic, and self-esteem in adolescence is positively related to intergenerational educational mobility to university. Our results indicate these skills help potential first-generation students to compensate for their relative disadvantage, and they are especially crucial for boys. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: This study aimed to develop and assess the effectiveness of the MBSI online program in enhancing selfesteem, mindfulness, and resilience among adolescents, while also evaluating its feasibility and participant satisfaction. Materials and Methods: The MBSI online program is an adapted form of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs), developed by integrating specific aspects of mindfulness that are related to self-esteem and the core processes of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), following consultations with mindfulness experts and program trials. The study enrolled 70 adolescents aged 15 to 18 years with low to moderate self-esteem, from diverse Thai regions. Participants were randomly assigned and equally allocated to intervention and waiting-list control groups. The intervention group underwent an 8-week MBSI online program. Self-esteem, mindfulness, and resilience were assessed at baseline, week 4, week 8, 1 month, and 3 months post-intervention. Results: The self-esteem, mindfulness, and resilience scores within the intervention group have significantly increased over time compared to baseline on week 4, week 8, 1 month, and 3 months post-intervention (p < 0.001). Furthermore, between-group comparisons revealed statistically significant improvements in self-esteem, mindfulness, and resilience (p < 0.05) at corresponding intervals, with medium to large effect sizes. The dropout rate was 25.7%, while participant satisfaction with the MBSI online program was remarkably high, averaging 4.73 out of 5, with 76.9% expressing the highest level of satisfaction. Conclusion: The MBSI online program significantly improved self-esteem, mindfulness, and resilience in adolescents, achieving high participant satisfaction. This program presents a valuable intervention for adolescents with low selfesteem, aiming to prevent psychological issues stemming from diminished self-esteem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Despite extensive research on social media and risks for mental health, not enough is known about individual differences in these risks. Methods: The present study, with data collected from 2018 to 2020, investigated the association between social media use (total and for specific platforms) and depressive symptoms in a sample of 237 American adolescents (Mage = 15.10; SD = 0.49; 51.1% girls and 48.5% boys). We investigated several moderators: gender, self‐esteem, personality, and negative reactions to social media. Covariates were gender, timing of the follow‐up (pre vs. during the pandemic), and depressive symptoms a year earlier. Results: Results indicated that greater total time spent on social media was associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms. This effect held for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube (but not Snapchat, Facebook, or Twitter). Several moderated effects were found. Twitter was associated with more depressive symptoms for girls but not boys. More frequent Instagram use was linked to more depressive symptoms for less or average‐level extraverted teens but not for more extraverted teens, suggesting extraversion may be protective. More frequent TikTok use was associated with more depressive symptoms, particularly for teens who said they have more or average‐level negative reactions to social media a year earlier. Conclusions: This study suggests that certain adolescents may be at increased risk for serious mental health challenges, like elevated depressive symptoms, when using TikTok, Instagram, or Twitter more frequently, underscoring the importance of examining individual differences and particular social media platforms.

Previous literature demonstrates that parental support and parental monitoring play an essential role in adolescents' social competence and their self-esteem. In addition, the relationship between self-esteem and adolescents' social initiative has been examined. However, little is known about the underlying mechanism of the associations among parental support, parental monitoring, and social initiative. The purpose of this research project was to examine the role of self-esteem in the relationship between parental connection and adolescents' social initiative among adolescents in mainland China. Self-report data were acquired for this research project from the 589 adolescents who attended secondary schools in Hangzhou and participated in the Cross-National Study of Adolescence. Results of structural equation modelling indicated that adolescents' self-esteem mediated the association between paternal, not maternal, connection and adolescents' social initiative. There was no direct effect between maternal connection to adolescents' social initiative. Limitations and suggestions for future research are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Suicidal behaviors present a public health challenge in children and adolescents. Although the risk factors have long been well documented, protective factors have only been documented for a few years, and there has not been a literature review concerning the suicidal behaviors of children and adolescents since 2006. Relevant articles were collected using the Medline/PubMed, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect databases. Studies meeting the following inclusion criteria were included: age of participants from 6 to 19 years, qualitative and quantitative cohort or case–control studies, multivariate analysis studies, and studies with significant results for at least one protective factor. The methodology used in this review is based on the PRISMA criteria. A total of 26 studies were included in this review, which highlights various individual and environmental protective factors. The results were too heterogeneous to perform a meta-analysis, and therefore the discussion is in the form of a narrative summary. High-quality relationships with family and in the school environment were the most frequently found protective factors. The presence of positive links with peers, with other adults, and with the culture of origin was also noted. On an individual level, self-esteem, emotional intelligence, and particular coping abilities were found to be the most important protective factors. There are numerous important protective factors for suicidal behaviors in children and adolescents and also for adapting care to their needs. A future challenge will be to determine the best protective factors to be consolidated or strengthened using self-assessment tools that are already in use or being developed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: The present study sought to explore how support from one's family of origin predicts the development of self‐esteem across the transition to adulthood for sexual minority individuals compared with their heterosexual peers. Background: Familial relationships have an influence on the development of self‐esteem. Additionally, lesbian, gay, and bisexual emerging adults may perceive less support from their families than heterosexual peers. Methods: The present study used secondary data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent and Adult Health study. The study conducted a multiple group latent growth curve following the development of self‐esteem. Results: Results indicated that feeling as though one's family understood them in adolescence was significantly associated with self‐esteem during adolescence for both sexual minority and majority individuals. Additionally, this sense of feeling understood by one's family was also associated with the rate of change of the developmental trajectory of self‐esteem across four time points. Discussion: The study illustrates the lasting influence one's family of origin has during this important developmental moment. Results illustrated how familial understanding in adolescence was significantly associated with the development of self‐esteem for both sexual minority and sexual majority individuals. Implications: The relationship with the family of origin has a lasting impact into emerging adulthood, and practitioners working with families can help ensure support for sexual minority adolescents. This includes, but is not limited to, encouraging communication within the family to build a sense of understanding. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: The mechanism underlying the positive longitudinal link between adolescents' friendship quality and their well‐being is unclear. The present study was performed to investigate whether this longitudinal association between friendship quality and well‐being was established via adolescents' global self‐esteem, and to examine gender differences in these associations. Methods: Online questionnaire data were collected in two waves (in Spring 2018 and Spring 2019) from 1298 Dutch adolescents aged 11–17 years (mean age 13.7 ± 1.1 years, 53.2% girls). Results: Multigroup path analyses revealed a significant indirect effect between friendship quality and well‐being over time via global self‐esteem for girls. For boys, significant direct effects of friendship quality on global self‐esteem and well‐being were found, but no significant indirect effect. Conclusions: The findings indicate that higher‐quality friendships improve boys' global self‐esteem and well‐being directly, and that they affect girls' well‐being indirectly and positively, by improving their global self‐esteem. These results suggest that preventive and intervention‐based strategies for the promotion of well‐being during the developmental stage of adolescence should incorporate focus on friendships, global self‐esteem, and gender specificities.

Pediatric obesity negatively affects many areas of mental health, especially anxiety and depression. This study aimed to investigate the effects of obesity on anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and emotion regulation in children and adolescents. Our study included 50 children and adolescents aged 11–17 years with a diagnosis of obesity and 48 control participants. The Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE), Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), and Piers–Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale 1 (PHCSCS) were administered to all participants. A significant difference was found between the groups (p < 0.05) in the analysis of the PHCSCS and RCADS total score; the GAD, PD, SOC, and MDD subscale scores; the DERS total score; the Clarity, Impulse, Strategies, Goals subscale scores; and the RSE Self-Esteem subscale. A significant correlation was found between the PHCSCS, RCADS, DERS, and RSE total scores and some subscale scores (p < 0.05). On the basis of the results, it was determined that children and adolescents with obesity had high levels of anxiety and depression symptoms, they had lower self-esteem, and had more difficulties in emotion regulation. Furthermore, those with anxiety and depression symptoms had lower self-esteem, and the children who had problems in emotion regulation also had lower self-esteem. Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and difficulties in emotion regulation can negatively affect obesity treatment. Therefore, screening and treatment of these conditions are of great importance.

It seems quite interesting that during adolescence anxiety levels can spiral out of control. This is due to several factors; one of the possible determinants is personality traits such as narcissism. Contrary to high self-esteem being a predictive factor of mental health, narcissism needs self-esteem in order to be beneficial for a person. Therefore, as two factors of personality traits, self-esteem and narcissism need to be distinguished from each other. Narcissistic individuals try to meet their affirmation needs by setting perfcctionistic goals and significant relationships between perfectionism dimensions and anxiety has been revealed in the related literature. Using a structural equation modeling, this study investigated the mediation role of perfecdonism dimensions in the relationships between grandiose narcissistic personality trait and trait anxiety when self-esteem was controlled. A sample of 338 adolescents (192 females, 146 males, mean age = 15.84 years, SD = 1.01) from five high schools participated in the study, line participants completed the instruments including the Demographic Information Form aimed to gather personal information, the Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale, the trait anxiety dimension of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, the Child and Adolescents Perfectionism Scale, and the Narcissistic Personality Inventory. Findings revealed that adaptive perfectionism mediated the relationship between grandiose narcissism and trait anxiety when self-esteem was controlled. This study indicates that practitioners working with adolescents should focus on interventions, which aimed to decrease pcrfectionistic tendencies of adolescents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present study aimed to explore the different types of parenting styles used by parents nowadays and how it affects the self-esteem of adolescents. It also attempted to assess the relation of positive parenting with an adolescent’s level of self-esteem. The sample of the study consisted of 200 adolescents (100 males &100 females) with an age range between 16-18 years. Data was collected through questionnaire based instruments and demographic datasheet. Non-probability; convenient sampling technique was used to collect the data. Parental Authority Questionnaire developed by Dr.John.R.B (1991) was used to assess parental authority or disciplinary practices from the child’s point view while Rifai’s (1999) self-esteem scale was used to examine adolescent’s level of selfesteem. Result of the current study revealed that an adolescent‘s level of self-esteem differs with respect to differences in Parenting styles used by parents. The findings further indicated that positive or authoritative parenting is associated with more desirable child behavior and better self-esteem as compared to the other two parenting styles.

- Subjects
- Self-esteem in adolescence, Risk-taking (Psychology) in adolescence, Identity (Psychology) in adolescence
- Abstract
This book is based on the idea that increasing juvenile risk behaviours – like substance abuse, nonsuicidal self-injury, and antisocial or suicidal behaviour – allow adolescents to fulfill developmental tasks like identity-formation and regulation of self-worth. Narcissistic self-exploitation, mobility tasks, flexibility and the challenges of new media exert social pressure on parental figures, distracting and putting strain on their mental resources, which in turn changes and even destroys the emotional dialogue with their offspring. If children themselves experience neglect and lack of emotional bonding - resulting in a lack of self-regulating capacities – risk behaviours are the consequence. The book combines different views in the psychological, social and metatheoretical domains. It consists of three parts: developmental problems of young people, diagnosis of risk behaviours in the nosological framework, and presentation of new morbidity with an increase in symptom prevalence. The book also discusses the threat of the acceleration of social processes and the risks of postmodern society.

- Abstract
The 25th anniversary edition of the iconic book, revised and updated for 21st-century adolescent girls and their families.In 1994, Reviving Ophelia was published, and it shone a much-needed spotlight on the problems faced by adolescent girls. The book became iconic and helped to reframe the national conversation about what author Mary Pipher called'a girl-poisoning culture'surrounding adolescents. Fast forward to today, and adolescent girls and the parents, teachers, and counselors who care about them find themselves confronting many of the same challenges Pipher wrote about originally as well as new ones specific to today.Girls still struggle with misogyny, sexism, and issues of identity and self-esteem. But they're also more isolated than ever before: They don't talk face-to-face to the people around them, including their peers, as they used to: They're texting or on social media for hours at a time. And while girls today are less likely to be in trouble for their drinking or sexual behavior, they have a greater chance of becoming depressed, anxious, or suicidal.In this revised and updated Reviving Ophelia, Pipher and her daughter, Sara Pipher Gilliam (who was a teenager at the time of the book's original publication), have incorporated these new issues for a 21st-century readership. In addition to examining the impact that social media has on adolescent girls'lives today, Pipher and Gilliam explore the rising and empowering importance of student activism in girls'lives, the wider acceptance of diverse communities among young people, and the growing disparities between urban and rural, rich and poor, and how they can affect young girls'sense of self-worth. With a new foreword and afterword and chapters that explore these topics, this new edition of Reviving Ophelia builds on the relevance of the original as it provides key insights into the challenges and opportunities facing adolescent girls today.The approach Pipher and Gilliam take in the new edition is just what it was in the original: a timely, readable combination of insightful research and real-world examples that illuminate the challenges young women face and the ways to address them. This updated Reviving Ophelia looks at 21st century adolescent girls through fresh eyes, with insights and ideas that will help new generations of readers.

Documento del año 2019 en eltema Psicología - Psicología del desarrollo,, Idioma: Español, Resumen: El programa Autoestímate es un programa de entrenamiento en el reconocimiento y control de las valoraciones que hacemos sobre nuestras acciones y sentimientos, y, por lo tanto, del desarrollo de los conocimientos sobre la autoestima. Teniendo en cuenta que la adolescencia conlleva una sucesión de cambios hormonales, físicos y relacionales, que infieren en la conducta (Viñas, González, García, Malo y Casas, 2015) optamos por un programa, Autoestímate, que ayude a los adolescentes a comprender y guiar aquellas conductas que tienen una influencia tanto negativa como positiva sobre la autoestima, disminuyendo las primeras y aumentando las últimas. Por consiguiente, puede servirnos de ayuda para lograr nuestras metas u objetivos favoreciendo nuestra calidad de vida o, en contraposición, puede ser un obstáculo y un problema que interfiera en nuestro día a día. Dada la especificidad de la tarea a realizar, el personal encargado en impartir los diversos talleres que se proponen deberá estar cualificado. Al tratarse de un programa psicoeducativo de mejora de la autoestima, va a conllevar a una mejora de las relaciones entre los adolescentes, a incrementar el sentimiento de grupo y en definitiva a positivizar el clima social, tanto en el entorno educativo como fuera de él (Aarón, Milicic y Armijo, 2012), se fomentará una autoestima positiva que hará que los menores desarrollen una personalidad resiliente, muy importante cuando se trabaja con entornos desfavorecidos (Cyrulnik, 2013). Teniendo como base los trabajos y publicaciones de expertos, este programa tiene como objetivo principal el incremento de la autoestima y, usar la misma a favor de la persona designada, en concreto, aquí nos focalizaremos en los adolescentes.

- Abstract
Sometimes the strongest souls come from the toughest adversities. After facing years of verbal and physical abuse and repression at the hands of those whom she loved the most, Tambre Ross had nowhere else to turn—except to her angels. After breaking free from the toxic bonds of abuse, Tambre was finally able to fully immerse herself in the love of the angels around her. When her guardian angel gave her a foreboding warning about pain to come, she had no choice but to hone her gift, trust in God, and learn to find her purpose in the journey so she could perhaps once again be hopeful for tomorrow.

This study analyzed the positive and negative body talk of male and female adolescents cross-culturally with an emphasis on the role of appearance-contingent and others’ approvalcontingent self-worth. A cross-national survey in Austria, Belgium, Spain, and South Korea among 12- to 16-year-olds (982 female and 993 male) found that (1) positive body talk was positively related and negative body talk was negatively related to body esteem; (2) appearance contingency was positively related to negative body talk; (3) appearance contingency increased positive body talk among girls (except Korean girls); and (4) contingency on other’s approval increased positive body talk among boys in all four countries. Overall, gender differences were more prominent than cultural differences and positive body talk was instrumental in promoting adolescents’ body esteem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of the study was to test longitudinal (2 years across three occasions) associations between sport participation (SP) and self-esteem (SE) across adolescence (10-18 years), addressing the mediating role of perceived sport competence (PSC) from a developmental perspective. Three waves of data were collected from three age cohorts (10-12, 13-15, and 16-18 years) of school-aged youth (N = 1358). The results demonstrate that SP and SE are related across time and that PSC has an important mediating role in this relationship, both from a skill development and a self-enhancement perspective. In the skill development model, the mediating role of PSC was significantly stronger in the youngest cohort whereas the effect of PSC on subsequent SP in the self-enhancement model was significantly stronger in the 13-15 age group compared with the youngest age group.

Affinity for aloneness among youth often is viewed negatively. However, some youth may enjoy solitude for positive reasons, rather than because of social anxiety. The prevalence and adjustment over time of youth with high affinity for aloneness is unclear. Groups of children (N = 605, Mage = 9.29) and adolescents (N = 596, Mage = 12.20) were identified using affinity for aloneness and social anxiety scores, and group differences in adjustment were assessed. Latent class analyses revealed four groups at T1 and T2 for both samples. Among these were Normative (Low.affinity_for_aloneness‐Low.social_anxiety) and Affinity for Aloneness (High.affinity_for_aloneness‐LowMod.social_anxiety) groups. These groups did not differ longitudinally in adjustment. Having elevated levels of affinity for aloneness without high social anxiety is relatively benign. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

PARENTIFICATION , *SIBLINGS , *PARENT-teenager relationships , *SELF-esteem in adolescence - Abstract
Parentification occurs when children provide caregiving for family members that typically exceeds their capacity and developmental stage. Parentification roles and responsibilities are often linked with deleterious outcomes, including robbing children of age-appropriate opportunities, activities, and support. However, in some circumstances, such as caring for a sibling vs. caring for a parent, parentification may engender feelings of self-efficacy, competence, and other positive outcomes. The primary objective of the current study was to explore the possible benefits of parentification. Using an understudied, international population, the current study tested the benefits of parentification in the context of the sibling relationship. Two research questions guided the study: to what extent are perceived benefits of parentification positively associated with self-esteem among a sample of Polish late adolescents? And to what extent does the quality of the sibling relationship mediate the association between perceived benefits of parentification and self-esteem? Results from the current sample showed the quality of sibling relationships partially mediated the relation between parentification and self-esteem. The findings underline the importance of assessing the quality of sibling relationships when an individual or family presenting for clinical services related to past and current family discord and dysfunction. Future research might consider other factors in the sibling relationship, such as personality, that could relate to positive outcomes from parentification. Highlights: Children and adolescents who experience parentification may employ various coping mechanisms. Quality relationships between siblings may reduce the negative outcomes of parentification. International studies on individuals who experience parentification are needed. Relationships other than the harmful ones with parents must be investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Both negative future orientation and elevated callous-unemotional (CU) traits are well-established predictors of delinquency during adolescence. However, CU traits have been related to a grandiose self-worth, which is not consistent with a pessimistic outlook towards the future. We examined whether the association between future orientation and CU traits differs depending on whether the optimism was specific to prosocial outcomes (e.g., success with family, jobs, and education) or whether it was measured as more general optimism for success or self-esteem. We also examined the association between future orientation and CU traits controlling for the main and interactive effects of delinquency. The sample included male adolescents (n = 1216) who were arrested for the first time for a moderate level offense. Results revealed that CU traits were negatively related to future optimism and self-esteem, irrespective of whether this outcome was measured as expectations (r = −0.33, p < 0.01) and aspirations (r = −0.38, p < 0.01) for success in prosocial outcomes or as a more general indicator of optimism (r = −0.24, p < 0.01) and self-esteem (r = −0.34, p < 0.01). Further, CU traits continued to be negatively associated with an optimistic view of the future (β = −0.24, p < 0.001), even when considering both the main and interactive effects of self-reported delinquency. Thus, this negative cognitive style needs to be considered as possibly contributing to the risk for later antisocial behavior experienced by youth with elevated levels of CU traits. Highlights: Callous-unemotional (CU) traits were related to more negative views of oneself and one's future success. CU traits were associated with self-perceptions after controlling for delinquency. CU traits were related to less optimism at lower levels of delinquency. Treatment for CU traits should target negative self-perceptions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Personal values developed in adolescence may influence mental health and well-being over the life course. Using data from 684 respondents in the Youth Development Study (61.9% of respondents in the baseline survey), we explored the effects of work values at ages 14–15 on positive and negative emotions, as well as psychological resources (self-esteem and mastery), at ages 37–38. We adjusted for socioeconomic status and the baseline scores of these outcomes using linear regression analyses. Having the work value of getting ahead in adolescence was positively associated with self-esteem in adulthood. Work values in adolescence did not predict positive emotions, negative emotions, or mastery in adulthood. Valuing one's growth in adolescence may help develop self-esteem in adulthood.

Global self-worth is important for healthy development and learning, and is therefore highlighted as a major aim in the Norwegian physical education (PE) curriculum. Based on prior research this study aimed to assess potential differences in global self-worth and contextual basic need satisfaction among 2854 adolescents (47.5% boys, 52.5% girls, ages 13 and 16) participating in different movement contexts, and to determine whether basic need satisfaction in PE relates to global self-worth. Structural equation modeling analyses indicate that basic need satisfaction in PE relates significantly to global self-worth. However, adolescents who do not participate in movement contexts outside school report significantly lower basic need satisfaction in PE compared to their sports-active peers, and could possibly therefore experience reduced global self-worth development through PE. Findings support research showing that sports active youth reap most of the benefits of PE, and thus, that PE violates the principles of equal education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Guided by the social-ecological diathesis-stress model, this longitudinal study examined the roles of self-esteem, parental attachment, and gender on the association between peer victimization and problem behaviors among Chinese early adolescents. A total of 466 Chinese middle school students (Mage = 12.8 years) completed measures of peer victimization, self-esteem, and paternal and maternal attachment twice (T1 and T2; 6-month interval). Their guardians also completed ratings on adolescents' problem behaviors at both T1 and T2. Results indicated that self-esteem mediated the association between peer victimization and problem behaviors. Paternal attachment, but not maternal attachment, moderated the mediating effect of self-esteem. Moreover, the moderating effect of maternal attachment on the association between peer victimization and self-esteem varied depending on adolescents' gender. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: In this study, our objective is to assess the perception of family environments by adolescents with ADHD based on perceived expressed emotion (EE) and the self-esteem of the adolescents. Method: Uludag University Medical Faculty Hospital completed this study with 41 adolescents with ADHD and 35 control group participants who were matched based on age and gender. Results: The total scores of perceived EE, described as a lack of emotional support, irritability, and intrusiveness, were significantly higher in ADHD group than in the control group. The group with ADHD also showed significantly lower self-esteem. There was a negative correlation between self-esteem scores and total perceived EE scores in the ADHD group and the control group. Conclusion: This study showed that the adolescents with ADHD perceive less emotional support and higher levels of intrusiveness, with patients also describing their families as more irritating. Other results in this study show that adolescents with less emotional support possess lower self-esteem, as do adolescents with more irritable parents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Previous research finds that low achievers and students from lower socioeconomic status backgrounds are more likely to bully peers, but fails to satisfactorily explain why. This paper tests the hypothesis that feelings of insecurity mediate the relationship between family background and low achievement, as predictors, and self-perception of being a bully, as the outcome. It operationalizes feelings of insecurity as self-esteem and academic-status insecurity. Using a large and diverse dataset of survey responses from secondary school males in the U.S. (N = 7,291, 45% White, 30% Black, 25% Latino from 6th-12th grade), the paper applies multi-level mediation analyses to test the hypothesis separately for Blacks, Whites, and Latinos. For all three groups, the insecurity measures account for virtually all of the relationship between a grade point average and self-perception of being a bully, and about a third of the relationship between family background and the same bullying measure. Implications are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: The risk of child grooming has spread exponentially with the massive access of adolescents to social networks and the internet. The aim of the study was to examine the personal factors (body self-esteem and disinhibition) and erotic-sexual factors (sexual initiation strategies and erotic-pornographic sexting) that predict grooming. Method: The sample was comprised of 1,200 adolescents aged between 12 and 16 years (M = 14.54, SD = 1.17; 50.83% girls). A cross-sectional design with self-report data was used and structural equation modeling (SEM) with mediation analysis was performed. Results: The results indicated two paths explaining child grooming: 1) physical attractiveness and disinhibition are indirectly associated with grooming through erotic sexting and direct sexual initiation strategies; both of which partially mediate this relationship; 2) disinhibited behavior has an indirect impact on grooming; pornographic sexting and coercive strategies acting as mediators. The semi-partial mediation model explains 54% of the variance of grooming. Conclusions: These findings highlight the urgent need to implement prevention programs considering these attitudes and behaviors that function as precursors of victimization and the risk of falling into pedophile networks.

Objective: Compulsive internet use (CIU) has been linked to decrements in mental health and well-being. However, relatively little is known about how CIU relates to evaluations of the self, and in particular, whether CIU is antecedent to or is a consequence of negative evaluations of one's social worth (self-esteem) and general efficacy (hope). To examine this, we explored the longitudinal relations between CIU and the development of self-esteem and hope among adolescents over a four-year period.Method: Two thousand eight hundred and nine adolescents completed measures yearly from Grade 8 (MAge = 13.7) to Grade 11. Autoregressive cross-lagged structural equation models were used to test whether CIU influenced or was influenced by self-esteem and hope.Results: We found consistent support for a CIU-as-antecedent model. CIU preceded reductions in trait hope, and small reductions in self-esteem. In contrast, we did not find evidence for a CIU-as-consequence model: low self-esteem and hope did not predict increases in CIU over time.Conclusions: Our findings suggest that CIU has negative consequences for young people's feelings of goal-efficacy, and that interventions that address the compulsive use of the internet are likely to strengthen hope and self-esteem among young people.

- Abstract
Self-esteem is a widely studied topic within psychology. Recently, the connections between self-esteem and important life outcomes have been debated because studies have produced inconsistent findings. Many of these inconsistencies may be due to the fact that most studies have focused on self-esteem level without incorporating other aspects of self-esteem. This books provides information on using the temporal stability of self-esteem to better understand feelings of self-worth; variations in multi-dimensional physical self-concept; religion and self-esteem; self-esteem as a predictor of academic success in health professional degree students; effects on the level and relations of self-esteem in the early transition to secondary school in Germany; the role of siblings for children's self-esteem; and several other topics.
