TL;DR: In the context of treatment, these adolescents shifted their social media use patterns from what they perceived as negative to more positive use, and Implications for clinicians counseling depressed adolescents on social mediause are discussed.

TL;DR: How peer victimization in adolescence is unique from other developmental periods is examined, with the objective of informing future research directions and the development of effective interventions.

TL;DR: Multilevel growth analyses revealed main effects of time on perceived stress, resilience, curiosity/exploration and gratitude and both mindfulness and self-compassion co-varied with perceived stress and depressive symptoms.

TL;DR: Although both girls and boys experienced DDA at similar rates of frequency (with the exception of sexual coercion), girls reported that they were more upset by these behaviors.

TL;DR: Results suggest that minority stress is appropriate for use with adolescents; however, further emphasis should be placed on social context, coping resources, and developmental processes regarding identity development.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that gendered behavior, rather than biologically determined sex, is an important consideration for concussion safety in this age group and addressing elements of the contemporary sport ethos that reinforce risk taking in service of athletic achievement may be a relevant direction for interventions aimed at improving injury reporting among all athletes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated personality, self-esteem, extraversion, conscientiousness, and emotional stability as predictors of nomophobia in Spanish students using the Mobile Phone Involvement Questionnaire (MPIQ).

TL;DR: Results indicate that adolescents with incarcerated parents are at elevated risk for mental health problems, and strong parent-child relationships partially buffer children from risk, underscore the need for more investment in effective early interventions for adolescents in highly adverse contexts.

TL;DR: Examination of age-trends and longitudinal bidirectional relations in self-esteem and prosocial behavior toward strangers, friends, and family over a four-year time period showed that adolescent self- esteem was associated longitudinally with subsequent prosocial behaviors, and earlier prosocialbehavior toward strangers promoted subsequentSelf-esteem.

TL;DR: Behavioral interventions offer limited resources and occur too late to mitigate the educational and social disparities that precede teen pregnancy, and future intervention research and policies that redress the social determinants of early childbearing are recommended.

TL;DR: Foster students' psychological resilience may alleviate the stress experienced by associate degree students or college students in general, and suggest that psychological appraisal and resources are more important antecedents of stress than objective negative events.

TL;DR: Interventions aiming to increase secondary school retention among marginalized girls may require a multi-level approach, with synergistic components that address social, structural and economic determinants of school absenteeism and dropout.

TL;DR: Only sexual purposes and body-image reinforcement appeared to be affected by body- image concerns due to media models, and instrumental/aggravated reasons were not predicted by any variable.

TL;DR: It is shown that engaging in sexy self-presentations on SNSs increased the willingness to engage in sexting, but only among adolescent girls, and exposure to sexySelfPresentations of others did not predict the willingnessto engage in Sexting.

TL;DR: Young participants were more strongly influenced by teenagers than by adults, but only when teenagers rated a situation as more risky than did participants, which suggests that stereotypical characteristics of the social-influence group – risk-prone teenagers - interact with social influence on risk perception.

TL;DR: There were no significant differences between groups at follow-up for three mental health outcomes: total SDQ, internalising problems, and prosocial behaviour.

TL;DR: Self-efficacy was related with social skills and emotional intelligence in Secondary Education students, but this relation was not gender-sensitive and these variables showed similar correlation indices in females and males.

TL;DR: The findings of the study reveal that materialism mediated the relationship between certain sociological factors and compulsive buying and that also applies in a modern Islamic society.

TL;DR: This scoping review synthesizes published and unpublished information on Youth Peer Support Services (YPSS), where young adults with current or prior mental health challenges provide support services to other youth and young adults currently struggling with similar difficulties.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that considering empathic anger together with empathic concern and perspective taking could help researchers to better understand the links between empathic dispositions and bystanders' behavior in bullying.

TL;DR: Moderate and high PA are inversely associated with anxiety and depressive symptoms, and risk of depression and high trait anxiety in adolescents, support the need for adolescents to engage in moderate PA, with potential for increased benefits with increased PA.

TL;DR: More methodologically rigorous longitudinal studies-followed by a meta-analysis-are needed to further the understanding of the effects of sexually explicit material in this population of adolescents.

TL;DR: Results indicated the association between depression and alcohol use differs by gender, and bidirectional effects were found between alcohol use and depression, as well as an indirect effect from depression to alcohol use via peer deviance.

TL;DR: Although a quarter of adolescents are likely to experience emotional and psychological difficulties, only a third of them will seek professional help as mentioned in this paper, and the basis of distrust is different among males and females.

TL;DR: It is found that preference for online social interaction and the use of Facebook to mood regulation purposes, predicted positively and significantly the deficient self-regulation in Facebook use, which was a significant predictor of the negative outcomes associated with this use.

TL;DR: This paper found that teachers' use of biased language was directly associated with student self-reported grades and teachers' intervention in situations of bias and students' trust and comfort with teachers were significantly associated with students' self-esteem.
