The role of peer groups in adolescents' educational trajectories

Five hundred thirty adolescents filled in a questionnaire focusing on their educational expectations, academic achievement and family background variables before the transition to post-comprehensive education. They were also asked to nominate three peers with whom they most liked to spend their time. After the transition, they reported the school form they were in. …
Beziehungserfahrungen in der Adoleszenz: Welchen Stellenwert haben sie zur Vorhersage von romantischen Beziehungen im jungen Erwachsenenalter?

Zusammenfassung. In einer 6-jährigen Längsschnittstudie wurden frühe Einflüsse auf romantische Beziehungen bei jungen Erwachsenen untersucht. 72 Jugendliche nahmen im Alter von 14, 15 und 17 Jahren an jährlichen Untersuchungen teil, bei denen die Beziehungen zu ihren Eltern und engen Freunden durch das Network of Relationship Inventory (NRI) erfasst wurden.

2023
Breakfast is often considered the most important meal of the day and can benefit adolescent health in several ways. The aims of the present study were (1) to identify adolescents’ socio-demographic (sex, family affluence and family structure) determinants of daily breakfast consumption (DBC) and (2) to describe trends in DBC among adolescents across 23 countries. Cross-sectional surveys of nationally representative samples of adolescents (aged 11, 13, and 15 years) (n = 589,737) participating in the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) survey from 2002 to 2018 were used. Multilevel logistic regression analyses modeled DBC over time, adjusted for family affluence, family structure…
Life Satisfaction Among Children in Different Family Structures: A Comparative Study of 36 Western Societies
2010
This paper examines differences in life satisfaction among children in different family structures in 36 western, industrialised countries (n = 184 496). Children living with both biological parents reported higher levels of life satisfaction than children living with a single parent or parent–step-parent. Children in joint physical custody reported significantly higher levels of life satisfaction than their counterparts in other types of non-intact families. Controlling perceived family affluence, the difference between joint physical custody families and single mother or mother–stepfather families became non-significant. Difficulties in communicating with parents were strongly associated …

Abstract This study examined adolescents’ career goal-related social ties during the transition from compulsory to post-compulsory education and during transition from post-compulsory education to working-life or further studies. A total of 687 Finnish adolescents aged 15–16 were surveyed of whom 654 also participated at the second measurement point one year later, and 497 three years later. Differences in career goal-related social ties were found according to gender, GPA, family structure, and SES. Moreover, social ties were associated with educational track after compulsory school above and beyond SES, GPA, and family structure. Adolescents who named a teacher or a romantic partner were …
Diversity in Family Structure - Diversity in Communication Between Family Members?
2013
This study aims at investigating the parent-adolescent communication of Finnish families from a multi informant perspective. Thirteen- and fourteen-year-old adolescents (n = 171) and their parents were asked to complete a questionnaire examining positive and problematic communication between the two parties. Information about their family structure was collected. The results indicated an interrelationship between parental and adolescent assessments, particularly regarding negative aspects of communication. The boys assessed their communication with parents as more positive than did the girls. The results showed that the mothers still are the synchronizing hearts of communication in modern f…
Household Expenditures and the Status of Children: An Analysis of the Italian Case
2022
Several factors influence consumption choices, which are not all related to the economic dimension. In this paper, we analyze Italian household consumption depending on family characteristics, such as the parents’ working status, their level of education, and the status of children (aged 21 through 30) as students, workers, or NEETs. We rely upon household consumption microdata and apply the «budgetary unit» concept to investigate preferential patterns of family consumption depending on the aforementioned characteristics. In particular, we are interested in understanding whether and how the status of children shapes the consumption patterns of the family unit. We analyze secondary data coll…
Effect of family structure and TPH2 G-703T on the stability of dysregulation profile throughout adolescence
2015
Abstract Background Two different polymorphisms (TPH2 G-703T and 5-HTTLPR) involved in the serotonergic pathway have been reported to play a role, both alone and in interaction with the environment, in early and adult emotion regulation. As most of these studies are cross-sectional, we know little about the impact of these polymorphisms over time, particularly during adolescence. Methods Because we were interested in the effects of these polymorphisms and environment (i.e., family structure) at different time-points on the emotional dysregulation profile, we performed a path analysis model in a general adolescent population sample of a five-year follow-up study. Results We found a high stab…
