ABSTRACT During the last decade, the policy efforts aiming to tackle the NEET situation (young people who neither study nor work) have increased dramatically in the European Union. Meanwhile, many studies challenged those policies, showing how they failed due to lack of understanding the NEETs. Thus, we analyse the factors that influence the appearance, modification and elimination of a NEET identity. The results reveal the presence of a shared NEET identity in the countries with high NEET rates, despite the considerable differences in the countries’ and NEETs’ characteristics. The NEET rate stands out as the key factor influencing the NEET identity, showing that this identity depends more on economic cycles than on the specific country or its culture.

ABSTRACT There exists little quantitative data on longitudinal life outcomes, such as employment and wellbeing, for marginalized students who reconnect with learning via flexible learning. This article reports on longitudinal associations between satisfying psychological wellbeing at school and quality of life after school. Forty-one past students of a flexible learning campus in a regional Australia City, aged between 18 and 31 years responded in an online survey, available over a 6-month period, on the school Facebook page. The survey measured satisfaction of psychological needs when at school (autonomy, relatedness and competence), and current quality of life factors (income, employment, positive relationships, emotions and accomplishment etc.). Bivariate correlation results suggested that greater satisfaction of basic psychological wellbeing at school is directly associated with improved psychology and wellbeing factors in later life. This has implications for research supporting investment in psychological wellbeing at school based on longitudinal wellbeing benefits.

ABSTRACT Finnish students start academic or vocational track in upper secondary education at age 16 years. Track placement is based on grades, but family background and psychosocial resources may have influences. Using 2014 survey data of Grade 9 students in Helsinki Metropolitan area linked to the Joint Application Registry data as of 2017, we fitted two-level, sex-stratified, generalized structural equation models to determine how reserve capacity (academic self-efficacy and social support), family background, and the comprehensive schools predict track placement. Adjusting for the effect of grades, low reserve capacity and disadvantaged family background increased probabilities of vocational track and non-placement of students. Schools also affected track placement, suggesting differences among comprehensive schools in the area. Findings imply that building reserve capacities of adolescents, through enhancing academic self-efficacy and social support, particularly in those with disadvantaged backgrounds, could increase chances of academic track placement in upper secondary school.

ABSTRACT Assessing friends’ selection and influence effects on their behavioural similarity is a challenge in adolescent behaviour research. In the present article, I propose an evaluation method along with social network analysis to examine changes in friendship networks and behavioural pattern in order to identify the prioritization of selection and influence effects at the earlier stage of adolescent formation of behaviour. To test this proposed method, the empirical data is from Taiwan Youth Project. Results show that adolescents’ behavioural similarity with regard to academic performance and delinquent behaviour is particularly affected by the selection effect at first, and then influence effect jointly shaped the behaviour patterns. This proposed model testing network-behaviour covariance would provide an alternative way of thinking for educational practitioners when dealing with deviating adolescent behaviour as well as developing their pro-social behaviours.

ABSTRACT Bullying and cyberbullying is a severe problem afflicting adolescents worldwide, underscoring the need to understanding of the mechanisms behind bullying perpetration. In the current study, we examined the association between callous-unemotional traits, social goal orientations, and bullying/cyberbullying behaviours. The current study draws upon a sample of 435 adolescents, who completed an online questionnaire. A path model, which separately included the dimensions of callous-unemotional traits, revealed that callousness and agentic goals had a direct positive association with bullying and cyberbullying behaviours; uncaring also had a direct positive association with cyberbullying behaviour. There was a direct positive effect from callousness and uncaring onto agentic goals, and a negative effect onto communal goals. Unemotionality had a direct negative effect onto both agentic and communal goals. There was an additional indirect effect, linking callous-unemotional traits to bullying/cyberbullying behaviour via social goal orientations. We discuss the findings, drawing upon motivational, evolutionary, and social-emotional deficiency perspectives.

ABSTRACT The present study explored young adolescent’s (female at birth) experiences with their bodies following pubertal changes. Twenty-seven participants selected from a parent-daughter workshop at school who had experienced 1 to 6 menstrual cycles were interviewed. Data were collected and analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Four current themes emerged from the analysis: (i) perception of body changes in puberty; (ii) intense emotions; (iii) managing body changes and secondary sexual characteristics; (iv) a new way of experiencing the body. Results support an integrative approach to the prevention of body negative image. Based on these findings, it is important to considered body image in the complexity of its emotional, cognitive and behavioural manifestations in order to promote psycho-educational programmes related to secondary sexual characteristics, consistent with the needs of today’s pubertal female at birth.

ABSTRACT This study aims to investigate the association of bullying victimization of primary school students with their happiness in urban and rural areas of Thailand. A nationally representative survey from Thailand Healthy School Data 2017 was employed. A total of 7,825 students (age 6 to 12 years) from 160 schools in 9 regions were included in the analysis. Multistage probability random sampling was applied to select students enrolled and collected data through face-to-face interviews. About 49.7% of students had been bullied. Bullying victimization was higher among males (52.0%) and younger students. Bullying was also associated with urban/rural (x2 = 5.3, p = 0.021). Students who had been bullied were 28.0% less likely to be happy (p 0.000; CI 0.647–0.810). Bullying victimization has a significant negative effect on students’ happiness. The findings suggest that specific action should be taken by entities which directly contribute to the implementation of the education system in Thailand.

ABSTRACT Internet addiction is an important mental health problem among university students. This study aimed to examine the relationship between shame and Internet addiction and investigate the mediating role of experiential avoidance in undergraduate students. A total of 307 undergraduate students (210 females and 97 males) were recruited. Shame was examined using the Self-conscious Affect-3 Test. Experiential avoidance was evaluated using the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-ӀӀ (AAQ-II). Internet addiction was assessed using the Young Internet Addiction test (IAT). Findings revealed significant associations between shame, experiential avoidance, and Internet addiction. In addition, the results of structural equation modelling demonstrated the mediating role of experiential avoidance in the relationship between shame and Internet addiction. The results suggest that the experts working on Internet addiction consider the shame and experiential avoidance. Early discovery and intervention of shame and experiential avoidance can be incorporated into programmes intending to reduce the risk of Internet addiction.

ABSTRACT Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ+) youth experience a myriad of mental health disparities as well as a heightened risk of suicide compared to their non-LGBTQ+ counterparts. They are also more likely to experience a multitude of stressful experiences such as bullying, discrimination, rejection from family, prejudice, and even violence from peers, all of which contribute to suicidal proclivities. Therefore, it is important to comprehend triggers of the disparities faced by LGBTQ+ youth in mental health, hazardous sexual behaviours, and substance use and determine ways of solving them via a calibrated approach combining prevention strategies, appropriate policies, and community programs. In particular, this review focuses on actionable steps that can be taken within schools, families, communities, and healthcare settings, to bolster protective factors supporting LGBTQ+ youth in coping with these challenges. It particularly envisions prevention strategies and interventions that focus on creating spaces for LGBTQ+ youth, increasing a sense of support and acceptance within schools, families, and healthcare settings, and reducing experiences of victimization and stigmatization on the basis of gender identity and sexual orientation.

ABSTRACT The study aims to examine the formation of and interrelationship between career importance, decisiveness, and aspirations among students. The data used in the study came from the ‘School experience, educational aspirations and scholastic achievement in Qatar’ survey 2018-2020 (SEEASAP). A sample of 841 students aged 12–14 was used for the analysis. The results of this study showed that the future career orientation among young people tends to be fragmented and incoherent. Believing in the centrality of work and employment in one’s life does not necessarily help young people become more certain about their future career or boost their career aspirations. The results also showed that career importance, decidedness and aspirations are shaped by different factors providing further evidence for the incoherence of young people’s future career orientation in times of greater insecurity and instability. The theoretical implications and limitations of this study are further discussed throughout.
