Thomaes, Sander; Sedikides, Constantine; Reijntjes, Albert; Brummelman, Eddie; Bushman, Brad J. – Developmental Psychology, 2015

Background: Socially anxious children tend to attach great importance to others' evaluations of them.

It is also unclear whether this exceedingly approval-based self-esteem is a common correlate of social…

Reijntjes, Albert; Stegge, Hedy; Terwogt, Mark Meerum; Hurkens, Edith – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2007
The present study examined the relationship between sub-clinical depressive symptoms and children's anticipated cognitive and behavioral reactions to two written vignettes depicting emotion-eliciting stressors (i.e., fight with one's best friend and failure at a roller blade contest). Participants (N = 244) ranging in age between 10 and 13 were…

Reijntjes, Albert; Stegge, Hedy; Terwogt, Mark Meerum; Kamphuis, Jan Henk; Telch, Michael J. – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2006
We examined children's behavioral coping in response to an "in vivo" peer rejection manipulation. Participants (N = 186) ranging between 10 and 13 years of age, played a computer game based on the television show "Survivor" and were randomized to either peer rejection (i.e., being voted out of the game) or non-rejection control. During a five-min.…
