This cross-sectional study…

Moreover, how does an overall sense of exclusion from the school relate to political trust apart from individual…

DeLay, Dawn; Burk, William J.; Laursen, Brett – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2022
Higher accepted friends are known to influence the alcohol misuse of lower accepted friends, but not the reverse. The present study was designed to address the origins of this influence: Are higher accepted friends particularly "influential" or are lower accepted friends particularly "susceptible" to influence? To address this…

Eggum, Natalie D.; Zhang, Linlin; An, Danming; Xu, Jingyi; Clifford, Brandon N.; Costa, Megan – Journal of Early Adolescence, 2022
We investigated how 5th-8th graders' self- and peer-identified withdrawal motivations predicted peer-reported peer relationships and aggression. Participants (N = 221; 47% male) provided self-reports and peer-nomination data (we analyzed 339 students' nominations). We hypothesized shyness, unsociability, and avoidance would predict low peer liking…
