Bartolucci, Francesco; Pennoni, Fulvia; Vittadini, Giorgio – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2023
In order to evaluate the effect of a policy or treatment with pre- and post-treatment outcomes, we propose an approach based on a transition model, which may be applied with multivariate outcomes and accounts for unobserved heterogeneity. This model is based on potential versions of discrete latent variables representing the individual…

Establishing a coherent meaning in life has long been considered to be a protective factor of well-being, but this construct has been understudied in early adolescent development. The current study investigated the relationships between family allocentrism and depressive symptoms as well as the mediation effect of meaning in life in 214 Chinese…

Frizzarin, Anna; Demo, Heidrun; de Boer, Anke A. – European Journal of Special Needs Education, 2023
Former literature found that various 'different' students experience exclusion and rejection by their peers in schools. This may be linked with the attitudes that their school and classmates hold towards them. Identifying someone as 'Other' may indeed result in prejudicial attitudes which, in turn, can lead to his/her marginalisation and…

Bharara, Gazal – International Journal of School & Educational Psychology, 2020
A positive transition to secondary school is pivotal to adolescents' mental health and success.
