ABSTRACTParental reflective functioning refers to the ability of parents to understand their child as motivated by internal mental experiences such as thoughts and feelings. This study aimed to examine the factor structure of the Hungarian version of the Parental Reflective Functioning Questionnaire (PRFQ) and to assess its relationships with general reflective functioning (Certainty and Uncertainty), attachment dimensions (Confidence, Relationships as secondary, The need for approval, Discomfort with closeness, Preoccupation with relationships) and the perception of the child (Warmth and Invasiveness) among mothers of children up to five years of age. Two hundred sixty-three mothers completed the PRFQ and The Reflective Functioning Questionnaire, of which 201 mothers also completed the Mothers’ Object Relations Scale and The Attachment Style Questionnaire. Confirmatory factor analyses supported the three-factor solution. Cronbach’s alpha coefficients for Certainty about Mental States and Interest and Curiosity subscales were excellent, while it was lower for Pre-Mentalizing.KEYWORDS: Mentalizingreflective functioningparental reflective functioningvalidationattachment Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe dataset generated during and/or analysed during the current study is available upon reasonable request from the corresponding author.

ABSTRACTTaking a socio-ecological theoretical perspective, the present study (1) examined the concurrent and longitudinal associations between offline, cyber, and ethnic victimization, and (2) investigated whether the same or different intra- and interpersonal variables are longitudinal risk or protective factors. A three-wave longitudinal study including 630 adolescents (50% boys, 12.52 years at wave 1, 7% first and 14% second generation immigrant) was utilized. Cross lagged panel models showed that neither offline victimization nor cyber victimization predicted ethnic victimization longitudinally. Positive peer relations, good class climate, high levels of school bonding, high levels of school motivation and high levels of self-efficacy at the beginning of grade 7 were protective factors for low levels of ethnic, cyber, and offline victimization at the end of grade 7. However, only high levels of ethnic victimization at the beginning of grade 7 were also risk factors for low levels of positive peer relations, school bonding and school motivation at the end of grade 7. Ethnic victimization at the end of grade 8 could not be predicted prospectively. Considering its unique negative consequences within grade 7, it is important to give ethnic victimization a special attention in anti-bullying programs.KEYWORDS: Ethnic victimizationoffline victimizationcyber victimizationcross-lagged panel modeladolescence AcknowledgmentsWe would like to thank Dr. Rainer Schmidbauer and the students of the master programme “Addiction and violence prevention in educational settings” (University of Education Upper Austria, Linz) for their invaluable support in realizing this study.

ABSTRACTThis study investigated whether youth essentialize religiosity considering religious informants as more trustworthy. Participants (N = 181) from three age groups (preadolescents, early adolescents and young adults) were presented with vignettes and asked which informant the protagonist should trust. One protagonist was introduced as religious. Results showed that youth’s essentialism for religiosity is limited, but those with proximity to religion preferred advice from a Priest over an expert. This suggests that youth’s essentialism for the trustworthiness of religiosity may be limited to religious leaders and is present only among those close to religion. Participants also tended to trust the expert rather than the Priest and the informant whose advice aligned with their own preferences.KEYWORDS: Adolescenceyouthessentialismepistemic trustreligious informant Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

ABSTRACTYouths’ development can be positively or negatively impacted by various factors in their internal and external environment. This study investigated the interactive effects of self-regulation and internalizing and externalizing problems on academic achievement (reading and maths) and positive youth development (PYD) across one year. Data were obtained from 390 Icelandic youths (44.75% male) at two time points, in grades 6 (Mage = 11.71) and 7 (Mage = 12.70). Structural equation modelling indicated that self-regulation positively predicted all outcome measures one year later, whereas internalizing and externalizing symptoms negatively predicted PYD and maths. The findings further revealed that internalizing symptoms mediated the effects of self-regulation on maths performance, while externalizing symptoms mediated the effects of self-regulation on PYD. These results suggest that self-regulation not only predicts academic achievement and PYD directly, but may also influence these outcomes indirectly by decreasing internalizing and externalizing symptoms.KEYWORDS: Academic achievementpositive youth developmentself-regulationrisk factorsyouth AcknowledgmentsWe would like to express our gratitude to all teachers that helped in data collection and the youths who kindly completed the self-report questionnaires.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Authors’ contributionsAll authors contributed to the study conception.

The world is facing complex global societal challenges including accelerating climate change, a pandemic, rising social inequalities also in well-functioning welfare states, cultural and linguistic diversity, and a renewed call for racial justice. Developmental psychology can make strong contributions to address these and other global challenges because developmental psychologists have the necessary theoretical, methodological, and empirical knowledge. This paper discusses (1) the usefulness of a relational developmental theoretical perspective, (2) implications for study designs and methodologies, (3) which competences should ideally be fostered early on to prepare adults to cope with global societal challenges that need high levels of future-oriented, cooperative, and collective efforts, and (4) the implementation gap between what is known in developmental psychology and what is done in educational settings. Overall, this paper is a plea for strong voices from developmental psychology to help solve current and future global societal challenges.
