TL;DR: For example, this paper investigated child and early adolescent relationships with parents and peers within the theoretical framework of attachment and found that older early adolescents turned to peers to fulfill attachment functions of proximity seeking and safe haven more often than children, although all participants reported that parents primarily served secure base functions.

TL;DR: Results suggest that middle school personnel should openly discuss with students their roles in bullying interactions and teaching empathy towards others and involving parents may be critical components in comprehensive prevention programs.

TL;DR: A multivariate meta-analysis was conducted to explore the relationship between student misbehavior and the three dimensions of teacher burnout (i.e., emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment).

TL;DR: Satisfaction in different life domains was examined with respect to parent and peer attachment relationships in middle childhood and early adolescence as mentioned in this paper, finding that attachment to both parents and peers predicted life satisfaction, although the influence of these relationships varied as a function of grade level and life domain.

TL;DR: In an era emphasizing evidence-based interventions, research indicates that neither grade retention nor social promotion is a successful strategy for improving educational success as mentioned in this paper, and also reveals prevention and intervention strategies that are likely to promote the social or academic competence of students at risk of poor school performance.
