The Role of Early Adolescence in Subsequent Risk and Resilience
Full text linkEarly adolescence comes with new opportunities for subsequent risk and resilience. Yet, international cohort studies covering this important developmental period and extending into young adulthood are rare. To address this gap in research, this special issue draws on data from the Zurich Project on Social Development from Childhood to Adulthood (z-proso). We outline the terminology for risk and resilience used in this special issue, describe the z-proso study design, characterize the z-proso sample in terms of important markers of adolescence, and provide an overview of Switzerland as a study setting. The contributions to this special issue highlight that adolescent well-being is not a given, even in a setting with relatively low contextual risk. Supportive parent–child relationships in early adolescence emerged as an important promotive factor for longer-term well-being. This special issue illustrates how early adolescence serves as an important juncture for different areas of future development
Social Inequality, Life Course Transitions, and Adolescent Development - Special Issue in Journal of Youth and Adolescence
No full textConceptualizing adolescent development within a life course framework that links the perspectives on social inequality and early life course transitions has largely been absent from previous research. Such a conceptual model is needed, however, in order to understand how the individual development of agentic capacities and the opportunities and constraints inherent in the social contexts of growing up interact and jointly affect young people’s trajectories across the adolescent life stage. We present the corner stones of the conceptual “trident” of social inequality, life course transitions, and adolescent development and identify three major themes the eleven contributions to this special issue address within this conceptual framework: social and individual prerequisites and consequences of coping with life course transitions; intergenerational transmission belts of social inequality; socialization of agency in and outside the family home. These three themes exemplify the great analytical potential inherent in this framework
Co-Development of Student Agency Components and Its Impact on Educational Attainment—Theoretical and Methodological Considerations
No full textStudies of co-developmental processes of student agency components, particularly in relation to educational attainment, are still rather scarce to date. To set the stage for the four respective contributions assembled in this issue, the introduction discusses divergent conceptualizations of co-development and shows how these concepts are translated into statistical modeling. Particular attention is paid to the role of the educational context in which the co-development of student agency components and educational attainment are embedded. Drawing on longitudinal data, the four contributions examine these processes from different angles and with regard to the educational contexts of Finland, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States
Co-Development of Academic Interest and Effortful Engagement and Its Role for Educational Attainment in a Tracked School System
No full textInternal dynamics of school engagement and their impact on educational attainment have been studied scarcely. Understanding these processes is crucial, particularly in view of declining school engagement across adolescent years. This study examines dynamic interrelations of motivational and behavioral engagement components across mid-childhood and mid-adolescence. We analyze how levels and changes of academic interest and effortful engagement interact and scrutinize their co-development for its impact on educational attainment in a tracked school system. Structural equation models based on ten-year six-wave Swiss longitudinal data show that academic interest triggers a feedback loop with effortful engagement gradually leading towards differential educational attainment
Risk-taking and self-harm behaviors as markers of adolescent borderline personality disorder.
Full text linkAdolescence is a critical period for early identification and intervention of borderline personality disorder (BPD). Risk-taking and self-harm behaviors (RSB) have been identified as promising early markers of BPD and correlates of depression in school-based samples. The present study aimed, first, to examine the association between RSB and BPD in a clinical sample of adolescents and, second, to examine whether RSB are also linked to depression. N = 405 participants (82.7% female) were recruited from an outpatient clinic for adolescents with RSB. RSB assessed included truancy, excessive media use, alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drug use, sexual risk-taking, and self-harm behavior. Regression analyses and generalized linear models were performed to examine the associations between individual RSB or patterns of RSB (identified using latent class analysis, LCA) and a diagnosis and severity of BPD or depression. All RSB (except excessive media use) were positively associated with BPD diagnosis and severity. In contrast, only non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and suicide attempts were positively associated with depression diagnosis and severity, while illicit drug use was negatively associated with depression severity. The LCA yielded two classes differing in the occurrence of RSB. The high RSB class was more likely to have a BPD diagnosis and greater BPD severity than the low RSB class. Classes did not differ regarding depression diagnosis or severity. As NSSI and suicide attempts were associated with both BPD and depression, the presence of additional RSB, besides self-harm behavior, may represent a specific risk marker for BPD in adolescents

No full textpeer reviewedWith reference to various theoretical approaches and empirical studies that focus on parent-child relationships, we describe the relevance of ambivalence experiences for processes of relationship formation and identity development during adolescence and young adulthood. We outline the desideratum of an (process-oriented) investigation of ambivalences during these stages of life. Based on this background, we discuss the options and implications of direct and indirect measures of ambivalences, followed by the various analytic strategies used in quantitative ambivalence re-search.IRM
