This study aimed to explore Russian young people’s perceptions of autonomy and the sources of these perceptions. It included thirty participants (16 female and 14 male) aged 11 to 24. Thirteen were Muscovites and 17 were from other Russian cities. Semi-structured interviews were conducted online in summer of 2022. Thematic analysis was employed to analyze the data. Findings suggest that the majority of participants perceived autonomous actions in a non-specific way or as being actions independent from others. Other meanings included adult, unruly, disciplined, responsible, successful, creative, and authoritative. The main sources of these perceptions were family, peers, education, and public opinion. Additional sources were the media, university, supplementary education, romantic partners, work, and older people. Overall, it is recommended to use non-interview methods such as observation to determine the influence of different sources on youth perceptions of individual autonomy, as it was difficult to fully capture this in interviews although their presence was detected.

There is a dearth of research examining the dating experiences of Latina teens—a large and rapidly growing population in the U.S. that reports high rates of teen dating violence. The purpose of this qualitative research was to explore Latinas’ teen dating experiences and the familial and sociocultural factors that impact them using a cultural-ecological perspective. Twenty-five first-, second-, and third-generation immigrant Latinas between the ages of 18 and 23 participated in the research. A purposive sample was drawn from the New York City (NYC) metropolitan area. We applied a critical narrative inquiry methodology to conduct in-depth narrative interviews with participants, following protocols approved by the IRB. We employed an inductive and iterative analytic process that combined holistic- and categorical-content approaches to identify themes within and across narratives. We identified the following themes: (1) cultural expectations and norms, (2) parents’ rules and expectations, (3) covert relationships, and (4) violence and control. This study’s findings highlight the importance of considering the cultural-ecological context in examinations of Latina teens’ dating experiences, with particular attention to how gendered power dynamics shape Latina teens’ dating experiences across multiple levels.

This study was conducted to gain a deeper understanding of the role of emotions within protest experiences among college students. The study sample consisted of 18 undergraduate students aged 18 to 25 who participated in 2020 Black Lives Matter movement protests. Within the sample, the majority of the participants identified as female (61.11%, n = 11) and were Black (38.89%, n = 7). In-depth interviews were conducted and subsequent data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings distinguished four themes: (1) emotions as motivators for protest participation, (2) emotional residence during protests, and (3) identity development and the way ahead. A substantial portion of the participants experienced negative emotions following the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery, which motivated them to participate in protests. Interestingly, the majority of participants described experiencing positive emotions, including empowerment and hope while at the protest sites. The protest elements: chanting, listening to protest speakers, and being in community with others were the source of positive emotions. Most participants described protesting as a momentary emotional release. These findings demonstrate that protesting does impact student emotional well-being and is an adaptive emotion-focused coping strategy for negative feelings garnered by the sociopolitical climate.

Evidence suggests that co-developed participatory interventions to prevent violence against women and girls (VAWG) may support behavior change. Yet, adolescents are often excluded from intervention development. Moreover, there remains a gap in understanding if intervention co-development can occur online. Our study explored the feasibility of undertaking an online co-development process for a participatory VAWG prevention intervention. We worked with a small group of high school learners (18–19 years), from the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. We collected session notes and audio recorded sessions. Adolescents enjoyed the level of autonomy and their depth of involvement in the process. They were eager to be involved, and they appreciated being “heard.” Adolescents found it easy to build rapport online amongst each other, and with the facilitator. There were also challenges, the main one being young people’s, and facilitator’s, histories of didactic communication. Understanding the strengths and limitations of online co-development processes is crucial, to strengthen them.

The COVID-19 pandemic experience had a major impact on adolescents’ relational lives. The abrupt change in habits led adolescents to revise their relationships with respect to family, friends, and school; they suffered greatly because of this but, at the same time, were able to discover new resources and possibilities. The present paper aims to give adolescents a voice by exploring their experiences of the change that the pandemic period brought about in their life and significant relationships as well as by examining whether quarantine and social isolation provided opportunities for personal growth and transformation. The participants were 66 adolescents (between 16 and 19 years old). A qualitative method was adopted with a semi-structured interview that investigated changes in the main relational areas. The results offer an insight into the lives of adolescents during the lockdown in Italy, allowing us to “hear their voice.” The results highlight the adolescents’ struggle to cope with the change, suffering from the many limitations but also experiencing increased self-awareness, reflectivity, and responsibility.

This study aimed at understanding the adolescents’ perception about the relationship between Self-Reported Smartphone Addiction and Emotional and Behavioral Problems in the COVID-19 pandemic context. The qualitative research was conducted in Brazil with 16 adolescents aged from 15 to 18 years old classified as smartphone addiction by Smartphone Addiction Inventory scale. Data were collected through Focus Group meetings and prepared by means of Bardin’s content analysis. The findings resulted in two categories that describe how adolescents escape from the reality imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic using smartphones and how they perceive the emotional and behavioral changes caused by this addiction. They develop this behavior seeking to alleviate negative emotions and to escape from reality, but this relief is momentary and ineffective, as this addictive relationship proves to accentuate emotional distress.

To clarify whether, and for whom, solitude is beneficial, this mixed-methods study examined how emerging adults perceive the space of solitude, and whether such perceptions influence utilization of solitude and correspond with psychosocial outcomes. College students ( n = 43), balanced in gender and ethnically diverse, completed an online survey followed by a semi-structured interview that explored their attitudes about being alone. Qualitative analysis yielded identification of three types, those who perceived solitude as Empty, Limited, or Full of meaning and activity. Full experienced solitude as enjoyable and multi-dimensional, Empty perceived it as pointless and isolating, and Limited expressed ambivalence or exhibited a one-dimensional capacity for solitude. The Full type was significantly more likely to utilize solitude for self-actualizing purposes such as self-reflection and spiritual connection; however, in terms of adjustment, Full and Empty showed similarly high levels of well-being, though Full was more self-determined in their motivations for solitude. The Limited type showed comparatively modest decreases in well-being. Findings suggest a bifurcation of resources for well-being in emerging adulthood, with solitude serving the Full type and social relationships better serving the Empty type, albeit at the potential cost of self-actualizing experiences. Implications for the Limited type are discussed.

We explored Mexican American adolescents’ goals as discussed with a romantic relationship partner. Thirty-four Mexican American hetero-dating couples aged 15 to 17 ( M = 11.71 months dating) from an urban city in a Southwest border state participated in a video-taped discussion. Drawing on Social Cognitive Career Theory, we inductively coded for themes and found that youth prioritized career, education, family planning, travel, and relationship goals. We were sensitized to the centrality of financial aspiration to each of these themes, and further operationalized youth’s level of financial aspiration as either modest, ambivalent, or high. Applying this template, we analyzed the extent of fit of adolescents’ goals to their financial aspiration. Adolescents with modest financial aspiration evidenced clearer paths to goal-success compared to adolescents with high financial aspiration. Although adolescents with higher financial aspiration described parallel career choices, adolescents with more modest financial goals were more apt to describe clear steps to attaining their careers and additional pursuits. We recommend programing that provides the opportunity for adolescents to connect their financial aspiration to their preferred careers and lifestyle goals. Such programs should also include relationship and family-planning, as these are important to diverse youths and influence post-secondary education and career pursuit.

The present study explores the ways Black/African American emerging adult college students (ages 18–20) and their caregivers engage in racial-ethnic socialization via mobile communication technologies, within the context of a minority-serving 4 year university in the Southeastern US. Qualitative integrative analysis of focus groups ( N = 12 Black/African American emerging adults, 67% female, 33% male) and text message content analysis ( N = 11 emerging adults and their 12 caregivers; 82% female, 9% male; 9% undisclosed gender identity) enabled us to understand emerging adults’ subjective experiences of digital RES alongside objective observation of digital RES within the content of all caregiver-emerging adult text messages exchanged over the course of 3 months. Findings suggest that digital racial-ethnic socialization messages are infrequent and largely implicit, that caregivers and emerging adults flexibly cross between social networks and digital platforms to communicate, and that one unique affordance of digital communication is the ability for caregivers and emerging adults to engage in support seeking and provision in real-time. The present study informs future research on how cultural transmission can continue across distance and development with the use of modern communication technologies.
