Bullying and Self-Concept, Factors Affecting the Mental Health of School Adolescents.

Bullying is an aggressive and repetitive behavior, where one person or several people physically, socially, or emotionally harm a vulnerable person and provokean imbalance of power in a school setting. Several factors such as age, sex, school performance, psychological factors, and ethnicity have been associated with bullying and more are being sought. Thus, the objectives of this study were as follows: (1) analyze the differences in bullying (victimization and aggression) and self-concept (academic, social, emotional, family, and physical) with respect to sex, school location, and educational level among Spanish adolescents; (2) explore the associations of bullying and self-concept with these sociodemographic dimensions. A cross-sectional study was designed with a total of 1155 participants (between 12 and 18 years old); there were 48.8% boys and 51.2% girls, where 75.9% studied compulsory secondary education (CSE) and 24.1% Baccalaureate, and 31.9% were students from rural schools and 68.1% were from urban schools. Medium and inverse correlations were shown between victimization and self-concept at the general level, for both sexes, both types of school, and both educational stages. For the aggression dimension, the correlations with self-concept were inverse at the general level (low), in girls (low), in rural students (medium), and in compulsory secondary education students (medium). For academic self-concept and family self-concept, the associations were medium and inverse with bullying in all variables. For emotional self-concept the correlation with bullying was direct and medium in all variables; in physical self-concept, the correlations with bullying were inverse in almost all variables except in boys. Self-concept may be a protective factor for bullying and interventions should aim at adolescents building a positive multidimensional self-concept that prevents and protects them from bullying either as aggressor or victim.

MOTIVAÇÃO E AUTOCONCEITO DE ALUNOS COM SOBREPESO E OBESIDADE NO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL

ABSTRACT The present research has as general objective to verify the motivation to learn of Elementary School II students and their self-concept related to a factor, children above ideal weight. For data collection 414 students between 10 and 16 years old participated, among them 74 overweight, obese or severely obese. The instruments applied were the Body Perception Questionnaire, Motivation Scale and Child and Adolescent Self-Concept Scale. The results show that in relation to school motivation, the identified regulation prevailed and in relation to self-concept, it was found that the personal self-concept has a high average and the social self-concept was the lowest. Pearson’s correlation showed a relationship among demotivation and family self-concept, intrinsic motivation also correlated with general and social self-concept. Finally, the regression analysis showed a dependency relationship between intrinsic motivation when dealing with general self-concept and social self-concept.

Positive parenting style and positive health beyond the authoritative: Self, universalism values, and protection against emotional vulnerability from Spanish adolescents and adult children.

Recent research is fully questioning whether the combination of parenting warmth and strictness (the authoritative style) is always identified as positive parenting across the globe. This study analyzes parenting styles and the positive health of adolescents and adult children. The sample was 2,090 Spanish children (59.9% women), from four age groups: 600 adolescents, 591 young adults, 507 middle-aged adults, and 392 older adults. Parenting styles (indulgent, authoritative, authoritarian, and neglectful) were obtained by warmth and strictness measures. Children's positive health was measured by self (family self-concept, self-esteem, and negative self-efficacy), universalism values, and emotional vulnerability. The main results showed that the indulgent parenting style was associated with equal and even better scores than the authoritative style, whereas the authoritarian and neglectful styles were consistently associated with low scores in positive health indicators for all age groups. However, two triple interactions of sex by age group by parenting style showed that women children from neglectful families reported the lowest family self-concept in old age and the highest emotional vulnerability in middle age. The study findings question the universal benefits of the so-called positive parenting (the authoritative style) for positive health.

HIV and suicide risk across adolescence and young adulthood: an examination of socio-demographic, contextual and psychosocial risk factors for attempted suicide in a longitudinal cohort of ageing adolescents affected by HIV living in the New York City Area.

IntroductionAs children become adolescents and young adults (AYA), their risk for attempting suicide increases dramatically, with chronic health conditions an important risk factor. This study examined correlates of suicidality across development in AYA living with perinatally acquired HIV (AYALPHIV) and those perinatally HIV‐exposed but uninfected (AYAPHEU).MethodsData come from an ongoing longitudinal New York City‐based study (N = 339) with AYALPHIV and AYAPHEU interviewed every 12–18 months from 2003 to 2019 (mean enrolment age = 12 years; current mean age = 27 years). The Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children (adolescent or young adult version) assessed psychiatric disorders and first‐reported suicide attempt. Generalized estimating equations were used to examine associations between first‐reported suicide attempt and socio‐demographic, contextual and psychosocial correlates measured concurrently across six timepoints.ResultsAt enrolment, 51% of participants were female, 72% heterosexual, 60% Black and 50% Latinx. Attempted suicide was significantly higher among AYALPHIV (27%, CI 21–33%) compared to AYAPHEU (16%, CI 10–22%), with an OR of 1.74 (CI 1.04–2.92) in a model adjusting for age. For AYALPHIV, anxiety (OR 2.66, CI 1.46–4.85), mood (OR 3.62, CI 1.49–8.81) and behaviour disorders (OR 5.05, CI 2.15–11.87) and past‐year arrest (OR 3.05, CI 1.26–7.4), negative life events (OR 1.27, CI 1.11–1.46), city stress (OR 2.28, CI 1.46–3.57), pregnancy (OR 2.28, CI 1.08–4.81) and HIV stigma (OR 2.46, CI 1.27–4.75) were associated with increased odds of attempted suicide, while identifying as heterosexual (OR 0.27, CI 0.14–0.52), higher personal (OR 0.45, CI 0.26–0.80) and family self‐concept (OR 0.36, CI 0.22–0.57) were protective. Interactions by HIV status and age were found: substance use was more strongly associated with attempted suicide among AYAPHEU than AYALPHIV, while negative life events and higher religiosity were more strongly associated with increased odds of attempted suicide among AYA ≥ 19 versus ≤ 18 years.ConclusionsAYALPHIV compared to AYAPHEU faced unique risks for attempted suicide as they age into adulthood, with the highest risk among AYALPHIV experiencing HIV stigma or pregnancy and the highest risk among AYAPHEU with substance use. Assessing for suicide risk and correlates with attention to ageing can inform preventive interventions tailored to meet AYALPHIV and AYAPHEU needs.

Examining academic self-concept as a mediator of the relationship between anxiety and depression: A longitudinal study.

Self-concept plays a role as a mediator in the development and maintenance of internalizing symptoms but mechanisms through which the early presence of anxiety symptoms is associated with the subsequent development of depression is unknown. The aim of this longitudinal study was to analyze the mediating role of different areas of self-concept in the relationship between the early development of anxiety symptoms and the later appearance of depressive symptoms. A longitudinal study with 3 time-points was conducted, including baseline, 2 months and 12 months from the baseline assessment. A total of 217 children aged 8-12 years participated. Mediation analyses were conducted using PROCESS Macro for SPSS. Academic self-concept (Time 2) mediated the relationship between Anxiety (Time 1) and Depression (Time 3) when controlling for children's sex and, age, baseline value of the mediator, anxiety (at Times 2 and 3), and depression (at Times 1 and 2). Children with self-reports of higher anxiety symptoms (Time 1) presented lower Academic self-concept (Time 2). Children who reported lower levels of Academic self-concept and Family self-concept (Time 2) were more likely to develop depressive symptoms (Time 3). Feeling competent in the school environment may be considered a protective factor against the development of depression in childhood. The identification of risk factors facilitates the development and implementation of preventive programs.

How the Children's ex-Convict Survive: Self-Conception, Symbolic Interaction, and Interpersonal Communication

This article analyzes the process of forming RF’s self-concept before and after he was in Lembaga Pembinaan Khusus Anak (LPKA). The analysis of this research uses the theory of symbolic interactionism by George Herbert Mead, dimensions of self-concept by Fitts, and interpersonal communication by Joseph A. DeVito, with qualitative research embedded with single case study methods. The results showed that RF’s self-concept tends to be positive while in LPKA until he is free from it. The internal dimensions of RF’s self-concept are his identity which is emotionally intelligent, and achievers, that behaviour shows his positive self-disclosure and self-acceptance. Meanwhile, the external RF’s self-concept dimension is physical self-concept and confidence in his appearance. His personal self-concept is speak with happiness in the public, RF’s social self-concept is happy to socialize with everyone, RF’s moral self-concept RF is feels more patient , and RF’s family self-concept is to help his family economy with a halal work.

Psychosocial Profile of Juvenile and Adult Offenders Who Acknowledge Having Committed Child-to-Parent Violence.

The main objective of this study was to establish the psychosocial profile of adolescents and adults who have admitted to committing child-to-parent violence (CPV) and were serving a judicial sanction or prison sentence, respectively. Two groups of participants took part in this study. The first group was made up of 89 male youths who were serving judicial sanctions, and the second group was made up of 70 men serving a prison sentence. A cross-sectional retrospective design with concurrent measurements was used in this study. Group differences in the exposure-to-violence variables were conducted. Automatic regression models were used to estimate a self-reported CPV. In relation to the variables of indirect exposure to violence, statistically significant differences between those who admitted having committed CPV and those who did not, irrespective of being adults or adolescents, were found for seeing violence in class and at home but not for seeing violence on the street or on television. Regarding the variables related to experiencing violence, the results showed statistically significant differences in experiencing violence at home but not in class or on the street. The best predictive model of CPV includes some of the dimensions of self-concept, specifically academic and family self-concept, as well as the avoidant and rational problem-solving styles and the negative orientation toward problems. The results have shown the existence of a CPV offender profile that is common to minors and adults.

Does the type of educational setting (mainstream or specialist schools) and degree of impairment (low vision or blindness) have any influence on self-concept?

ABSTRACT This study investigated the self-concept of students with vision impairments who were placed in mainstream and specialist schools in South Australia. Self-Concept was studied across six dimensions, namely Physical, Moral, Personal, Family, Social and Academic Self-Concepts and the Total Self-Concept. The ‘Tennessee Self-Concept Scale: Second Edition’ was administered to 25 students with vision impairments (including low vision and blind students) who attended mainstream or specialist schools. Although most of the students with vision impairments obtained low scores on all dimensions of self-concept, namely physical, moral, personal, family, social and academic, there were some students who attended specialist schools and are blind that obtained normal scores in family, social and academic self-concepts. There were no significant differences between students with vision impairments that attended mainstream or specialist schools and between students with low vision and those who are blind across the six dimensions of self-concept and thus total self-concept. These findings have implications for mainstream teachers, special educators, support staff and a range of professionals in the education and special education sector in enabling a greater understanding of the self-concept achievement of the students with vision impairments that attended mainstream or specialist schools.

Perceived Family Environment and Self-Concept Among Young Adults in Indian Context

'Self' can be described in a very extensive manner, but it stays to be exclusively individualistic to a person's existence and experience. Family Environment has been known to influence the Self Concept as it was observed to have a tangible impact, with many roles inclusive in collectivistic cultures such as India. The purpose of the paper was to establish the link between Family Environment and Self Concept in Indian Context among Young Adults. The methodology used for the paper is Qualitative Research on the basis of a survey conducted upon 40 young adults questioning them about Perceived Family Environment and Self Concept. The survey resulted that in the family environment, people when in accordance to family's expectations receive affection, support, expressiveness and other conditions show positive Self Concept. But, the results also established individual components such as hating self in situations of failures, prioritizing expectations of others over own. This proves that all other factors were dependent on expectations of family, reflecting that their Self Concept is interdependent of societal roles and of roles assigned by the family. Our traditional family system (collectivistic culture) and environment, conditions us to create our Self Concept based on the parameters and expectation framework created by the family.

Influence of implementation fidelity on the effectiveness of a T-CBT program targeting emotional problems in childhood

Super Skills for Life (SSL) is a transdiagnostic program targeting children with internalizing problems. This study aimed to evaluate: 1) The Spanish SSL program's fidelity level; 2) the relationship between the implementation fidelity dimensions; 3) outcomes at posttest and 12-month follow-up depending on implementation fidelity; 4) mediation effects of self-concept dimensions to reduce internalizing and externalizing problems at follow-up. Participants were 119 schoolchildren aged 8–12. Two groups were established: high (HFG) and low fidelity (LFG). At posttest, HFG presented lower depression, anxiety, total difficulties, and externalizing symptoms, and higher academic and family self-concept than LFG. At follow-up, LFG presented higher depression, total difficulties, and internalizing symptoms, and lower academic, social, and family self-concept. All posttest self-concept dimensions had a significant impact at follow-up on internalizing symptoms. Academic, social and physical self-concept dimensions impacted externalizing symptoms. Thus, although SSL program is effective for treating emotional symptoms even with low implementation fidelity, it is more effective with high implementation loyalty.

Suicidal Ideation, Psychological Distress and Child-To-Parent Violence: A Gender Analysis.

Child-to-parent violence (CPV) is a growing public health problem with consequences for perpetrators and families. Most research has focused on individual and family risk factors. However, little is known about its links with individual outcomes. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationships between CPV and psychological distress, suicidal ideation, and self-concept in school-aged adolescents, taking into account the gender perspective. A study was conducted with a sample of 8,115 adolescents, aged between 11 and 16 years (M = 13.34; SD = 1.04) from the State of Nuevo León, Mexico. A MANOVA 3 × 2 was performed to analyze the data. The results revealed that adolescents involved in CPV showed higher levels of psychological distress and suicidal ideation and lower levels of family and social self-concept. It was also observed that girls with higher levels of CPV scored the lowest levels of psychological distress and suicidal ideation, as well as the lowest levels of family self-concept. The findings highlight that adolescents and especially girls involved in CPV also report internal maladjustment outcomes. Finally, the results and their implications for research and intervention with adolescents involved in CPV are discussed.

What Goes on in This House Do Not Stay in This House: Family Variables Related to Adolescent-to-Parent Offenses.

Research on adolescent-to-parent violence (APV) associates specific psychosocial characteristics with adolescents who assault their parents, whether they are within or outside the juvenile justice system, or whether these characteristics are shared by other adolescents convicted of other crimes. The aim of this paper is to compare three groups of adolescents. Those who have been sentenced for APV are compared with adolescents who have committed other crimes, and with a group who have not been involved in the justice system. The sample used consists of 148 male participants between the ages of 14 and 21. A comparison is made regarding type of self-reported behavior, frequency of drug use, academic performance, exposure to violence, self-concept, and parents’ conflict resolution tactics. The results obtained indicate that adolescents with judicial measures, regardless of the crime committed, differ from those who have not been in trouble with the justice system in terms of them having suffered violence in the street, the frequency with which they use drugs and in their academic achievement. Likewise, adolescents convicted of APV differ from the other two groups in the frequency with which they are victims of violence at home, in that their mothers use the tactic of asking somebody else for help as a way of solving marital conflicts, and in having a more negative family self-concept. The results are discussed highlighting the importance of taking into account whether a sample is judicial, clinical, or community, and the specific APV behaviors which are measured.

Tiempo con los amigos y la familia y el autoconcepto social y familiar durante la adolescencia

El propósito del estudio fue analizar el desarrollo del autoconcepto social y familiar durante la adolescencia y describir sus vínculos con el tiempo que pasan los adolescentes con los amigos y la familia. Es un estudio mixto en el que participaron 75 hombres y 75 mujeres, en tres grupos de edad (12, 15 y 18). Se utilizó el Cuestionario de Autoconcepto Forma-5 para medir el yo social y familiar y la entrevista semiestructurada clínica-crítica para explo-rar el tiempo utilizado a las relaciones amistosas y parentales. Los resultados muestran que la línea evolutiva del autoconcepto social es ascendente en los hombres y en las mujeres es estable. El autoconcepto familiar decrece en la adolescencia media, con mayor declive en las mujeres, y se incrementa en ambos a los 18 años. Cuando los adolescentes pasan más tiempo con los amigos que con la familia, el yo social aumenta mientras que el autoconcepto familiar decrece. El estudio contribuye a la comprensión evolutiva del autoconcepto en dos dimensiones escasamente exploradas y al conocimiento del desarrollo social adolescente.

Parental Socialization and Its Impact across the Lifespan.

Classical studies have found that parental warmth combined with parental strictness is the best parental strategy to promote children’s psychosocial development. Nevertheless, a growing set of emergent studies has questioned the benefits of parental strictness. The present study examined parental socialization and its short- and long-term impact on the psychosocial development of adolescents and adult children. The sample consisted of 2150 Spanish participants, 623 adolescents (12–18 years), 619 young adults (19–35 years), 502 middle-aged adults (35–59 years), and 406 older adults (60 years or older). Families were classified into one of four typologies (indulgent, authoritative, authoritarian, and neglectful). Psychosocial development was examined with five indicators (physical and family self-concept, nervousness, empathy, and internalization of social values of benevolence). The results show a common short- and long-term pattern between parenting styles and psychosocial development: the indulgent style equaled or even surpassed the authoritative style, whereas the neglectful and authoritarian styles were associated with low scores. The present findings were discussed by considering the importance of the cultural context in family socialization. Additionally, the long-term impact of parental socialization seems to be crucial, even in adulthood.

Emotional adjustment in victims and perpetrators of cyberbullying and traditional bullying

Given the rise in cyberbullying among secondary education students and the importance of certain psychological adjustment variables for the comprehension of this type of violent behavior, both in bullies and in victims, the purpose of the present study was to analyse the emotional adjustment of those involved in cyber- and traditional bullying. The adjustment variables studied were self-concept, perceived stress, loneliness, depressive symptomatology, social anxiety, life satisfaction, and emotional intelligence. Using a sample of 1318 adolescents (47% boys), aged between 11 and 17 years, four groups were established to compare victims and cybervictims (uninvolved students, traditional victims, cybervictims, and traditional–cybervictims). The analysis of variance showed that students who performed the same role (bully or victim) in both contexts (at school and online). In particular, those who suffered traditional or cyberbullying or both conjointly presented lower scores in physical and social self-concept, life satisfaction, emotional clarity, and emotion regulation, as well as higher scores in perceived stress, loneliness, depression, and social anxiety. In bullies—traditional, cyberbullying or both simultaneously—higher scores were observed in perceived stress, loneliness, depressive symptomatology, fear of negative assessment, avoidance, and general social anxiety, and lower scores in the dimensions of academic and family self-concept, life satisfaction, emotional clarity, and emotion regulation. In general, the findings indicate that students who were involved in bullying situations, both victims and bullies, presented more damaged emotional profiles than those who are uninvolved, especially students who performed the same role (bully or victim) in both contexts (at school and online).

Physical-healthy and psychosocial differences in school children: A study of gender

This study aims to examine gender differences according to physical-healthy habits, problematic use of video games and self-concept in Primary Education students in Granada. In this descriptive and cross-sectional study, 577 primary school students in Granada participated. The Questionnaire of Mediterranean Diet Quality Index (KIDMED) was used for the Mediterranean diet adherence variable, the Questionnaire of Experiences Related to Video Games (QERV) was applied to the problematic use of video games, and the self-concept, Five-Factor Self-Concept Questionnaire (AF-5) was used. In addition, the Body Mass Index (BMI) was measured and a self-registration sheet was used to record the age and gender of the individuals, daily hours of physical activity, hours of using digital screens and hours of sleeping. Main results and conclusions of the study, it should be noted that men have higher levels of regular physical activity, problematic use of video games, adherence to the Mediterranean diet and physical and family self-concept. While females show higher levels of body mass index and academic, social and emotional self-concept. Males showed that greater participation in physical-sports activities was associated with better adherence to the Mediterranean diet, levels of self-concept and fewer hours of sleep. In this sense, it should be noted that the females showed that the greater the practice of physical activity the lower the family self-concept. In addition, it was found that, in general, an adequate intake of the Mediterranean diet favours self-concept, while when this is low, the use of problematic video games is encouraged.

Estilos parentales y su contribución al ajuste personal y social de los hijos

Introduction and objectivesThis study analyzes the relationship between parental styles (indulgent, authoritative, authoritarian, and neglectful) with the short- and long-term pattern of personal and social adjustment in children, teenagers and adults. Material and methodsThe sample consisted of 2,119 Spanish children (59.2% female), 623 adolescents (12-18 years), 591 young adults (19-35 years), 509 middle-aged adults (36-59 years) and 396 older adults (60 years or more). Families were classified into one of four parental typologies (indulgent, authoritative, authoritarian and neglectful) based on their scores in the two main dimensions (acceptance/implication and severity/imposition). Children's personal and social adjustment was measured with family self-concept, self-esteem, aggressiveness, sexist prejudice, and internalization of social values of universalism. ResultsThe results showed a common short- and long-term pattern between parental styles and personal and social adjustment. The indulgent style was associated with equal or even better scores on personal and social adjustment than the authoritative style, while the lower scores corresponded to the authoritarian and neglectful parental styles. ConclusionsThe findings are discussed considering the relevance of the cultural context in which parental socialization occurs.
