Objective: We examined parenting practices and attitudes of parental warmth, harsh parenting, consistency of discipline, and parent self-efficacy in childhood as moderators of the associations between parental drinking in childhood and alcohol use from ages 12 to 19. We also explored whether these moderation effects would differ for boys and girls.
Method: Data were drawn from the first eight waves of the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC). LSAC participants were ages 4/5 in wave one (N = 4983, Mage = 4.17, SD = 0.38, 51% boys) and 18/19 in wave eight (Mage = 18.42, SD = 0.50). Parents reported their parenting practices and alcohol use from waves one to five. Adolescents reported their alcohol use from waves five to eight. Data analyses used SEM and Latent Growth Curve Models (LGCM) in R.
Results: Results supported protective roles of high levels of both consistency of discipline and parent self-efficacy during a child's life course for alcohol use in adolescence. Harsher parenting in childhood was a significant risk for drinking initiation and continuation from ages 12 to 19 at higher parental drinking levels in childhood.
Conclusion: These results have theoretical and practical implications. They suggest developmental mechanisms of specific parenting practices and attitudes that can be targeted in preventive and treatment programs for adolescent drinking. This includes parenting support for parents who report high alcohol use for themselves while parenting children under 12 years.

Introduction: This study examined the role of loneliness (social and emotional) and ostracism in adolescents' psychological well-being (positive mental health and psychological symptoms) and substance use. Perceived teacher and family support and grade level were examined as moderators in these associations.
Methods: A total of 2241 Finnish adolescents (Grade 7: 1218, Mage 13.90 years, 50% girls; Grade 9: 1023, Mage 15.91 years, 52.5% girls) completed a cross-sectional self-report survey in 2022. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM).
Results: Higher levels of social loneliness and perceived ostracism were associated with poorer psychological well-being, whereas higher levels of emotional loneliness were associated with frequent substance use. While high teacher support buffered against lower mental health in adolescents with high perceived ostracism, high family support buffered against lower mental health in those with high social loneliness. Higher levels of emotional loneliness were more strongly linked to frequent substance use and lower mental health in older students, whereas the negative association between social loneliness and mental health was stronger in younger students.
Conclusion: These results suggest that it is important to identify the form of social outsiderhood adolescents experience when promoting their well-being.

Maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies (MCERSs) have been generally conceptualized as causes of adolescent internalizing problems. This conceptualization was dominant in both theoretical frameworks and practical applications. However, it may not fully capture the complex relationships between MCERSs and internalizing problems. In this study, we challenge this assumption and propose an alternative perspective: MCERSs are not just causes of internalizing problems but also emerge as outcomes.
Methods
We conducted a two-wave longitudinal survey (N = 892; 487 girls, 405 boys; MT1 age = 13.88 years, SDT1 age = 1.41 years) with a 1.5-year interval to examine the bidirectional relationships between four types of MCERSs (i.e., self-blame, rumination, catastrophizing, and blaming others) and two internalizing problems (i.e., anxiety and depression). Cross-lagged panel network analysis was used to test our hypotheses.
Results
The associations between T1 MCERSs and T2 internalizing problems were relatively weak, whereas T1 internalizing problems were strongly related to T2 MCERSs. Moreover, internalizing problems demonstrated a higher out-expected influence, suggesting that they act as catalysts in the network.
Conclusions
These findings reveal the complex interplays between MCERSs and internalizing problems, underscoring that MCERSs may not be universally harmful and may be reciprocally influenced by adolescents' emotional states.

Prior research has demonstrated that social ostracism not only leads to social withdrawal but also impairs sleep. Good sleep is essential for cognitive function, mental health, and adolescent development. The study utilizes a longitudinal design to explore the bidirectional relationship between social ostracism and sleep quality among junior high school students.
Methods
Three waves of data were collected at 2-month intervals. The random intercept cross-lagged panel model (RI-CLPM) was used to distinguish the impacts of two forms of social ostracism, neglect and rejection, on sleep quality at both the between-individual and within-individual levels. Moreover, the potential mediating role of social media disorder and anxiety was also investigated.
Results
At the between-individual level, neglect exhibited a significant negative correlation with sleep quality and a positive correlation with anxiety. Both social media disorder and anxiety were negatively correlated with sleep quality. However, these patterns were not observed for rejection. At the within-individuals level, social media disorder at T2 significantly mediated the longitudinal relationship between neglect in T1 and sleep quality in T3.
Conclusions
These findings highlight a type of exclusion-dependent impairment of social ostracism the distinct impact of neglect, but not rejection, on sleep quality and underscore the mediating role of social media usage function as a buffer agent disorder. This study demonstrated the long-term effects of social ostracism on sleep, positioning it as a critical and persistent impact of social ostracism on sleep quality, which further demonstrated that social ostracism is an important risk factor affecting sleep quality for adolescent sleep health.

Introduction
Previous research has investigated the impact of peers on adolescents' decision-making across various domains. However, adolescents are not just passive receivers of information; they actively seek advice from peers. Yet, there is limited understanding of whom adolescents turn to within their peer networks to guide their decisions.
Methods
This study explored adolescents' preferences for seeking advice within their peer network when making decisions across different decision domains: risky, prosocial, and academic. Dutch youth (N = 748, ages 11–19) were presented with hypothetical scenarios and asked which classmates they preferred to consult. Peer nominations were used to examine the characteristics of consulted peers.
Results
Primarily, adolescents seek information from their (best) friends—accounting for 70%–85% of cases—and peers they like and trust, with friends serving as the most important source of guidance across all domains. We also found that consulted peers were more likely to be perceived as cool, admirable, smart, influential, or as leaders, rather than lacking these characteristics. With increasing age, adolescents demonstrated an increased reliance on friends for prosocial and risky decisions and a greater bias for smart peers when making academic decisions.
Conclusion
This study emphasises adolescents' active role in seeking advice from peers to inform their decisions related to risky-, prosocial-, and academic behaviour. Across all domains, adolescents prioritise guidance from (close) friends and peers they trust. Characteristics related to the social status of a peer, and perceived intelligence, also contribute to someone being consulted for advice. The type of peers adolescents prefer to consult appears to be more consistent across domains than highly domain-specific. However, the increased bias for friends with age was absent for academic choices. Future studies should aim to better understand adolescents' motives for consulting certain peers and should investigate the extent to which a peer's knowledge and skills play a role. These insights are essential for evaluating the suitability of peers as information sources across various decision domains.

Introduction
Contemporary parenting involves technology-related challenges such as establishing guidelines for how 10–19-year-old adolescents use social media. Previous research has shown inconsistent findings on strategies that parents adopt in helping their adolescents navigate the use of social media. It is unclear how parenting practices contribute to shaping adolescents’ digital literacy. Thus, the current review aimed to explore the relationship between parental factors and adolescent social media use.
Methods
We conducted systematic literature searches in four online databases: Scopus, PubMed, PsycINFO, and ERIC. Based on predefined eligibility, the search yielded 27 studies (19 cross-sectional) mainly conducted in Europe, the United States, and Asia Pacific involving 26,337 adolescents.
Results
Four aspects of parenting practices (parent modelling, mediation/communication, monitoring, and limit-setting) were identified that were linked with adolescent engagement with social media. Adolescents mirror their parents’ social media habits, including time spent online and specific behaviours like privacy settings. Specifically, parental mediation positively correlated with adolescent social media engagement while parental monitoring showed mixed results on adolescent social media use. Additionally, proactive limit-setting strategies appeared to mitigate problematic social media use, while reactive approaches were associated with increased social media use.
Conclusion
This review demonstrates the multifaceted role of parental practices, particularly modelling and mediation/communication, in shaping adolescent social media use behaviours. It also highlights the need for further research to delineate the nuanced effects of monitoring and limit-setting, emphasising the importance of considering individual adolescent needs and family dynamics in the development of effective intervention strategies.

Introduction
The COVID-19 pandemic affected all dimensions of the college experience. Research has explored COVID-19 stress and resilience factors, though this study is generally cross-sectional and lacks pre-pandemic baseline measures. Women and sexual/gender minority (SGM) college students experienced higher levels of COVID-19 stress but the effect on resilience is unknown.
Methods
Analysis of longitudinal survey data on a 2019 cohort of first-year college students attending a large public university in the southeast US (N = 444; average age at baseline 18.9; 67% female). We created a two-factor index of academic- and illness-related COVID-19 stress in June-July 2020 and assessed associations with resilience (as measured by the Brief Resilience Scale, BRS) throughout students' college careers.
Results
Resilience was lowest during students' junior year of college (October 2021) and returned to baseline levels by senior year. Cis women and SGM students experienced higher levels of COVID-19 academic and illness stress than cis men and non-SGM students. Academic and illness COVID-19 stress were associated with lower resilience; academic stress had larger initial negative associations that resolved by senior year, while illness stress had smaller initial negative associations that persisted. Academic and illness stress were more impactful for cis man and cis woman students, respectively. COVID-19 stress was not associated with resilience among SGM students.
Conclusions
COVID-19 illness stress was associated with persistently lower perceived resilience among college students. Associations differed by gender and sexual/gender minority status. Students may benefit from resilience interventions to prepare for future emergencies and improve their well-being.

Concern has mounted about negative trends in adolescents' psychological well-being and academic performance, but international data is scant. The rollout and impact of electronic devices have varied across countries, providing the opportunity to examine the results of a natural experiment.
Methods
Adolescents participated in the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) survey of 15- and 16-year-old students from 36 countries around the world including those in North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia (n = 1,788,128; 50% female). PISA was conducted with a new sample every 3 years between 2000 and 2022, with the 2022 data collection delayed a year due to COVID-19.
Results
In most countries, feeling lonely at school increased while academic performance on standardized tests in math, reading, and science declined, particularly between 2012 and 2022. Thus, declines in adolescent well-being and academic performance are international rather than isolated to only some countries. Increases in loneliness and declines in academic performance were larger in countries with greater increases in adolescent smartphone access and in countries where adolescents reported spending more time using electronic devices for leisure purposes during school hours.
Conclusions
Outcomes for adolescents became markedly worse during years when they spent an increasing amount of time on electronic devices. The declines were more pronounced in countries where smartphones became a more significant distraction during the school day. These results suggest that the growing use of personal electronic devices had a deleterious impact on the school environment.

This longitudinal study investigated the associations between exposure to political violence and screen and substance use in 1646 Israeli adolescents (aged 12–17) from southern Israel, an area significantly impacted by an ongoing war and conflict.
Methods
The data were collected at two time points: shortly after the outbreak of the war (October 2023) and at the end of the school year (June 2024). It examined changes in digital engagement, including internet and social media use, trends in substance use (tobacco, alcohol, vaping, and cannabis), and how political life events and psychiatric symptoms influenced these behaviors.
Results
The findings revealed significant increases in screen time, particularly internet and social media use, that correlated with heightened exposure to political violence and worsening psychiatric symptoms. Tobacco use decreased slightly, while alcohol consumption increased. Older participants engaged less in gaming but more in social media. Boys reported higher levels of gaming but lower social media, alcohol and vaping use than girls.
Conclusions
These findings underscore the urgent need for interventions addressing the interrelated challenges of digital media consumption and substance use in youth exposed to war-related conflicts.

Introduction
The clarity of self-concept is a pivotal determinant of one′s psychological well-being. While existing literature has consistently demonstrated associations between family relationships and self-concept clarity, significant gaps remain in understanding the temporal dynamics and directional influences between specific family relational patterns (particularly intimacy and conflict) and self-concept development during adolescence.
Methods
Random-Intercept Cross-Lagged Panel Models (RI-CLPMs) were used to analyze longitudinal data collected from 2001 adolescents (Mage = 16.01 years, SD = 2.68) across three measurement waves spanning 1 year. This analytical approach enabled the disentanglement of stable between-person differences from dynamic within-person processes, providing a more nuanced understanding of these developmental associations.
Results
After disentangling within-person and between-person associations, the results from the RI-CLPMs indicated that, at the within-person level, increased family conflict at Time 2 predicted subsequent decreases in self-concept clarity at Time 3, suggesting a potentially causal influence of family conflict on identity development. At the between-person level, significant correlations emerged among family intimacy, family conflict, and self-concept clarity, indicating that adolescents who generally experience more positive family environments tend to maintain clearer self-concepts.
Conclusion
These results contribute novel insights into the developmental pathways through which family relational patterns shape identity formation during this critical period, while also highlighting the importance of distinguishing between-person stability from within-person change processes in developmental research.
