Guignard, Jacques-Henri; Bacro, Fabien; Guimard, Philippe – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2021
Intellectual giftedness is commonly associated with a high level of intellectual functioning, an identification process whereby individuals are labeled as "gifted," and adjustments in schools such as grade skipping. During adolescence, all these factors are prone to reduce peer connectedness and school life satisfaction. The aim of the…

Although teen dating violence (TDV) is internationally recognized as a serious threat to adolescents' health and well-being, almost no data is available for Slovenian youth. Hence, the purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence and predictors of TDV among Slovenian adolescents for the first time. Using data from the SPMAD study (Study of…

Baier, Dirk; Krieg, Yvonne; Hong, Jun Sung; Kliem, Sören – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2021
Teen dating violence (TDV) and school violence (SV) are two major social problems in adolescence. Until recently, the antecedents of both TDV and SV have been analyzed largely independently of each other. This study analyses and compares the determinants of both TDV and SV, with a focus on physical violence. Based on a comprehensive survey of…

Super, Charles M.; Harkness, Sara – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2020
The behavior of newborns is ambiguous. Cultural models--representations shared by members of a community--provide new parents and others with a cognitive and motivational structure to understand them. This study asks members of several cultural groups (total n = 100) to judge the "similarity" of behavioral items in the Neonatal…

Ferguson, Gail M.; Dimitrova, Radosveta – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2019
Remote acculturation (RA) is a modern form of non-migrant acculturation toward distant cultures prompted by indirect/intermittent globalization-related cultural exposure. RA theory holds that not only are global cultures now pouring into local neighborhoods, but many youth are also internalizing these remote cultures. How well do they fare? Prior…

Vest, Andrea E.; Simpkins, Sandra D. – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2013

Staff, Jeremy; Mortimer, Jeylan T. – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2008
Whereas in years past, young people typically made a discrete transition from school to work, two ideal typical routes now characterize the sharing of school and work roles during adolescence and the transition to adulthood. Longitudinal data from the Youth Development Study show that one route involves less intensive employment during high…
