Perspectives of early childhood teachers on parent–teacher partnerships in five European countries

2009

ABSTRACT Societal conditions impacting on parenting have radically changed during the past two decades.

All they need is love? Placing romantic stress in the context of other stressors: A 17-nation study

2010

The present study focuses on romantic stress and coping styles in the context of identity and future-related stressors in 8,654 adolescents with a mean age of M = 15.3; SD = 1.84. The adolescents from 17 countries were grouped into seven regions, i.e., Mid-Europe, Northern Europe, Eastern Europe, Southern Europe, South Africa, South America, and the Middle East. Future-related stressors were perceived as being more stressful than romantic stressors by all adolescents, irrespective of the region in which they lived. Identity-related stressors were of greater concern to adolescents from South Africa, South America, and the Middle East. Romantic stress was much higher in adolescents from Mid-…
