Sandberg; Angeliki Zacharia; Moin Syed – European Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2023
A global challenge for developmental psychology is to better understand how young people around the world make sense of their identities growing up in pluralistic societies.

Skoog, Therese; Stattin, Hakan; Ruiselova, Zdena; Ozdemir, Metin – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2013
We tested the peer-socialization/contextual-amplification explanation for the link between early female puberty and problem behaviour. We propose that in cultures with high tolerance for adolescent heterosexual involvement, early puberty should be linked with problem behaviour--not in other cultures. We compared girls in two cultures (Slovakia and…
