This study aims to assess the influence of used information sources on behaviour change related to physical activity (PA). It analyses secondary data from a nationally representative cross-sectional survey conducted in 2017 among 1050 Qatari adolescents aged 13–19 years. Multivariable logistic regression accounting for survey design examined the association between the outcome (attempt to change PA) and interpersonal, online, traditional, and social media information sources. Adolescents who used information from interpersonal and online sources to attempt changing their behaviour had nine times (95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.15–21.08) and nearly three times (95% CI: 1.50–4.27) higher odds of a change in PA behaviour, respectively. The estimated average marginal effects of using information from interpersonal and online sources were 46-percentage point and 16-percentage point increase in the probability of attempting PA behaviour change, respectively. Policymakers may benefit from this research in designing appropriate PA interventions that adapt multiple delivery approaches.

The innovative use of vignettes in quantitative surveys offers a novel means of assessing attitudes, capturing individuals’ responses across diverse life domains to measure voice and agency more directly. Utilizing the use of scales and vignette-based inquiries, this study explores voice and agency on making marital decisions among 458 adolescents in India and Nepal. Regression analysis revealed that higher voice and agency scores correlated significantly with reduced odds of endorsing early marriage and increased support for continued education post-marriage. In vignette scenarios, greater voice and agency scores were linked to advocating against early sibling marriage and making independent choices for their own futures. These findings highlight that improved self-perception of agency empowers adolescents to assert independent decisions. Utilizing vignettes proved beneficial in this context as they enabled adolescents to understand community norms through storytelling, offering insights into their likely behaviour in specific situations, rather than drawing on abstract concepts.

This cross-sectional study of adolescents between 10 and 18 years old aimed to measure self-efficacy in different nationalities, gender, sex, parent education, and work history among adolescents. Analysis of Moris’ questionnaire of self-efficacy dimensions supplemented with socio-demographic data indicated significant differences in emotional, academic, and social self-efficacy across the father and mother’s education (p<0.01), nationality, and history of working as a child laborer (p<0.01). Children of families with more education had higher self-efficacy. In contrast, adolescents with a history of working and other nationalities showed a lower rate of academic, social, and emotional self-efficacy. Findings suggest the importance of self-efficacy training strategies in adolescents, based on their demographic status.

This study examined the effect of psychological empowerment on using coping strategies, stress, anxiety and depression in haemophilic adolescents. A total of 60 adolescents with haemophilia aged 13–19 years old were recruited in a randomized clinical trial and randomly divided into two groups of intervention and control. The instruments included Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) and Lazarus and Folkman’s Coping Strategies Questionnaire (LFCSQ). The intervention group underwent psychological empowerment. The control group received routine intervention. Data were analysed with Chi-square test and repeated measures analysis of variance. The findings showed a decrease in the mean scores of anxiety, stress and depression (p < .001), and an increase usage of the problem-focused coping strategies (p = .007), in the intervention group after the intervention, that were significantly different with those of the control group. Psychological empowerment could be effective in improving the use of coping strategies and decreasing stress, anxiety and depression in adolescents with haemophilia.

Several studies show that many students experience high levels of stress when completing their thesis. This study aims to examine the effects of positive thinking on university students in reducing academic stress related to thesis writing. This research method is pursued through experimental design. Before undergoing positive thinking therapy, participants assessed their stress levels using an academic stress scale instrument adapted from the Student-Life Stress Inventory. The participants consisted of 48 Muslim students who were writing their theses for the Psychology study program. The results showed that training in positive thinking can reduce students’ academic stress when completing their thesis. Students are highly susceptible to academic stress due to the multitude of stressors they encounter. This study recommends positive thinking training because it can effectively reduce academic stress levels in students. Cognitive-oriented strategies are more beneficial for students as they can enhance personal factors.

There have been significant efforts to enhance teaching quality in Rwandan secondary schools. Despite this focus, there has been little attention to understanding this construct, and especially what it means for students who are most affected by it. To address this gap, this study explored with students comprehensively what they valued in a ‘good’ teacher. Data drew upon 75 group discussions involving 419 students across 12 schools from six Rwandan districts. Through thematic analysis, findings revealed an understanding of ‘good’ teachers via multiple dimensions. Students highlighted the importance of teacher disposition and responsible behaviors. Teacher–student relationships were also strongly valued as was holistic learning including positive values and being influenced cognitively and affectively. These results provide important implications for teacher professional development and policies in response to the contextualized preferences.

This research article examines the widespread practice of ability grouping in educational systems across different countries, exploring its impact on academic achievement and its implications for equity among mathematics students. The findings underscore the urgent need for educational ecosystems to move away from ability grouping and embrace alternative pedagogical approaches that foster growth mindsets, equitable opportunities, and inclusive education for all students. The implications of this article extend beyond the immediate concerns of schools, school organizations, and mathematics education enthusiasts. Particularly, the insights gleaned from this research bear significant relevance to the development of adolescents and youths on a broader scale. The insights provided by this study are relevant to parents, educators, policymakers, and anyone interested in fostering an educational landscape that equips adolescents and young people with the skills, attitudes, and opportunities needed for success in a diverse and complex world.

Social capital is a valuable asset in community psychology for the growth of happiness. The various components of social capital, including trust and reciprocity, help youth to function positively in society. Unfortunately, previous literature ignored a higher-order analysis of social capital with happiness. This research aimed to examine the association between various components of social capital and happiness. Using a convenient sampling technique, we gathered data from 843 university enrolled students (Male = 581, Female = 262, age 21–23) from four public universities in Punjab, Pakistan. The first and second hypotheses confirmed that bonding trust, bonding, bridging, and linkage engagements and components of social capital were positively associated with the happiness of youth. The higher-order social capital model should be replicated in future studies, and local government should take essential steps to get the trust of the people which is necessary for the development of society.
