ABSTRACT The study is based on a wide international research study, the International Self-Report Delinquency Study 3 (ISRD-3), with the aim of understanding if there is a relationship between having lived traumatic intrafamily experiences and potentially being a victim of cyberbullying. The data have been collected by a questionnaire ISRD-3 administered to a 20 European country sample of 57.463 students from 7th to 9th grade. Results show a statistically significant relationship between traumatic intrafamilial experiences such as a serious illness of one of the parents, episodes of violence suffered and assisted, separation or divorce of the parents, and being victimized in adolescence of cyberbullying.

ABSTRACT This study examined intersectional discrimination using latent profile analysis and assessed the associations between membership in discrimination-prone groups and online/offline bullying and suicidal ideation among South Korean youths. The data of 6,169 middle- and high-school students from the 2018 Korean Children and Youth Human Rights Status Survey were analysed. The latent profile analysis revealed that a four-class; the data were divided into low discrimination (85.2%), moderate intersectional discrimination (2.6%), high intersectional discrimination (1.3%), and gender discrimination (10.9%) groups. In the multinomial logistic regression, compared to the low-discrimination class, all three discrimination classes were more likely to suffer from higher rates of bullying and suicidal ideation. Online/offline bullying and suicidal ideation were linked to the degree of intersectional discrimination experienced, especially gender discrimination. Therefore, it is crucial to guarantee that vulnerable adolescents who have been subjected to intersectional discrimination are not bullied further and put at risk of suicide.

ABSTRACT The present formative research study reviewed existing literature relating to adolescent rites of passage and initiation ceremonies in East and Southern Africa (ESA), with a focus on Eswatini, Malawi, South Africa and Zambia to assess the impacts of these rites on youth in these countries. Research was conducted entirely online using Google, Google Scholar and the Widener University (US) database. The research found different cultures maintain a range of customs and practices to prepare young people for their roles and responsibilities as adults, and that some initiation practices have negative impacts on the physical, emotional and psychological health and well-being of adolescents. The research supports the conclusion that it is important to have policies and programmes that are designed to protect the rights and welfare of young people in ESA, and that local leaders and stakeholders play invaluable roles in determining and maintaining any changes to existing practices.

ABSTRACT The objective of the present research was to identify the level of aspiration of secondary school students to join higher education and their career preferences. Quantitative data were collected from secondary school students in Wolaita Sodo town, Southern Ethiopia. The results have shown that students have high aspiration to join higher education institutions. While most students prefer to join public higher education institutions, larger number of students disclosed their interest to join higher education institutions located in/nearer to their locality. Furthermore, having the finding that most students choose to be remembered for being an outstanding student in the school added to increased consideration of reaching at the highest level of education as the most preferred avenue to upward social mobility, we found a higher place of academic achievement in the value system of high school students in the study area.

ABSTRACT This study investigates the prevalence of internet addiction and compares its related factors among adolescents with and without autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Between January 2017 and December 2019, outpatients (n = 102), aged 12–15, completed the basic information questionnaire, Internet Addiction Test, and Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology Self-Report Japanese version (QIDS-J). Their parents completed the Social Responsiveness Scale-2 (SRS-2) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale-IV (ADHD-RS). The scores of adolescents with and without ASD were compared. Internet addiction was prevalent among 40.0% and 23.9% of adolescents in the ASD and non-ASD groups, respectively. No potential risk factors for internet addiction were statistically significant in the ASD group. However, QIDS-J and ADHD-RS scores were significantly correlated with internet addiction in the non-ASD group. Factors related to internet addiction were symptoms of depression and ADHD in the non-ASD group.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to explore the lived experiences of self-esteem in adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) over time. The study has a qualitative retrospective design. We drew on data from a broader qualitative retrospective study that explored adolescents’ experiences living with ADHD. From the data of eight adolescents, we performed a narrative analysis to explore the phenomenon of self-esteem. The three narratives of adolescents with ADHD reflect (a) using their strength to overcome difficulties, (b) access to arenas for coping and achievements, and (c) being surrounding by significant others. From a resilience perspective, this study shows that adolescents can develop positive self-esteem through transformative processes sustained by protective factors. These factors are essential to promote positive self-esteem from adolescence into adulthood. We suggest that professionals working with adolescents with ADHD focus beyond their deficits and notice adolescence’s strengths when supporting them in school and everyday life.

ABSTRACT The main aim of the study was to explore information related to the concept of Islamic moral judgement among religious school students. For this group of students, academic syllabus and schooling daily activities was purposely designed to the enhancement of spiritual and religious interpretation in practical life. This study used a quantitative method based on cross sectional approach. The findings showed that the dimensions of Islamic spiritual disposition and social norm were significant in the moral judgement of Islamic secondary school students. Result from the study also indicates spiritual disposition and social norms to certain extent play as significant role in moral judgment process. This findings have helped developed the Islamic Moral Judgement Model. The impact of this study was that religious secondary school students' tendencies toward aspects of Islamic spirituality play an important role in determining the quality of their Islamic moral judgement.

ABSTRACT The aim of this prospective cohort study was to examine how alcohol consumption by mothers and fathers, parental monitoring (knowledge, control and solicitation), adolescent disclosure and novelty seeking were associated with the likelihood of alcohol use and inebriation among adolescents in three different age groups (13–14 years, 14–15 years, and 17 years). The results showed that alcohol consumption by parents is of significance for adolescent alcohol consumption (odds ratio mothers: 1.47 [1.17–1.84], odds ratio fathers 1.33 [1.08–1.65]) and inebriation, especially in the 17-year-old age group. The results showed that novelty seeking was a strong risk factor in all three age groups, while parental control and knowledge had no impact. This study shows that parental solicitation increased the odds at age 17 for alcohol consumption (2.64 [1.02–6.83]) and inebriation, while adolescent disclosure decreased the odds (0.18 [0.05–0.68]). In summary, the study shows that parents should be particularly attentive to adolescents with high novelty-seeking behaviour and that parental alcohol consumption influences adolescent alcohol habits.

ABSTRACT With a shared focus on resiliency, agency, and pro-sociality, environmental education and positive youth development (PYD) have numerous intersections. Recognizing and supporting this synergy can help both fields achieve their goals, namely increased pro-environmental action and improved youth outcomes. To better understand this convergence, we undertook a systematic review to explore what environmental education outcomes reported in the peer-reviewed literature support PYD. We searched empirical research and identified 60 relevant studies. Qualitative coding revealed environmental educators are supporting PYD with a range of audiences and in varied settings via documented outcomes from all categories of the 5Cs model of PYD: competence, confidence, connection, character, and caring. Analysis revealed eight programme strategies and approaches that support PYD outcome development, including incorporating meaningful daily-life connections; emphasizing student-centred activities; and building in opportunities for teamwork, environmental action, and experiential learning. We conclude with research and practice implications for PYD and environmental education.

ABSTRACT This study focused on individuals who classify themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual and any other non-heterosexual orientations (LGBTQIA+) and their general attitude towards HIV testing. The hypothesis for this study is that LGBTQIA+ individuals with lower levels of predictor variables (lower level of outness and peer openness) have significantly different attitudes towards HIV testing than those with higher levels of predictor variables. A three-part survey was passed out via quota sampling method, and 121 participants answered the survey. The result showed that there is a statistical significance between a LGBTQIA+ individual’s level of outness and their attitude towards HIV testing (p < 0.05), which leads to the conclusion that level of outness may be an indicator that predicts a LGBTQIA+ individual’s attitude towards HIV testing. Findings of this study may help understand the relationship between LGBTQIA+ individuals’ psychological barrier factors and attitudes towards HIV testing, which may inform future research and practices.
