Brief report: Associations between emotional competence and adolescent risky behavior ABSTRACT The current study examines associations between emotional competence (i.e., awareness, regulation, comfort with expression) and adolescent risky behavior. Children from a longitudinal study participated at age 9 and 16 (N = 88). Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with children about their emotional experiences and coded for areas of emotional competence. Associations were examined for the emotions of sadness and anger concurrently during adolescence, and longitudinally from middle childhood to adolescence. Results suggested that children with poor emotional awareness and regulation had a higher likelihood of using hard drugs. Difficulty regulating emotions was associated with having more sexual partners, and both emotion regulation and expression difficulties were associated with greater behavioral adjustment problems. Results were consistent across the concurrent and longitudinal findings and pointed to anger as an important emotion. Findings suggest that children's emotional competence may serve as a useful point of intervention to decrease risky behavior in adolescence.

Developmental assessment of competence from early childhood to middle adolescence ABSTRACT This study represents a developmentally informed, empirically validated examination of competence across multiple domains (Social, Cognitive, Emotional well‐being), gender and age (early childhood, middle childhood, early adolescence, middle adolescence). Competence indicators were created and the structure of these domains was tested using multi‐method, multi‐informant data collected on 191 participants drawn from a prospective study of at‐risk children. The results indicated that inter‐individual differences in Cognitive and Social competence were stable across time, whereas inter‐individual differences in Emotional well‐being were stable only between early and middle adolescence. While the strength of stability of Cognitive competence was similar across different time points, the stability of Social competence declined after middle childhood, suggesting more inter‐individual variability with regard to change. The findings also indicated that both the structure and the stability of competence are similar for boys and girls.

A peer‐nomination assessment of electronic forms of aggression and victimization Abstract The perpetration and receipt of electronic aggression have largely been assessed with self‐report questionnaires. Using a sample of 573 adolescents, the current study compared the psychometric properties of a peer‐nomination measure of electronic aggression and victimization to the more widely used self‐report approach. Estimates of the reliability, stability, and concordance of peer‐ and self‐report assessments were adequate, mirroring those from research on aggressive exchanges in school. Analyses of validity and utility revealed that peer‐nominations, compared to self‐reports, provide overlapping and distinct information on adolescents' social, emotional, and academic adjustment. Overall, these findings provide evidence that peer‐nominations are a reliable, valid, and useful means for measuring electronic aggression and victimization. Future work will benefit from their incorporation into multi‐method assessments.

Ethnic identity and self‐esteem: examining the role of social context Abstract This study explored ethnic identity and self‐esteem among 1062 Mexican‐origin adolescents who were attending one of three schools, which varied in their ethnic composition (i.e., predominately Latino, predominately non‐Latino, and balanced Latino/non‐Latino). Significant relationships emerged between ethnic identity and self‐esteem among adolescents in all school settings. Furthermore, controlling for generation and maternal education, adolescents attending the predominately non‐Latino school reported significantly higher levels of ethnic identity than adolescents in the other schools. Consistent with ecological theory, these findings challenge researchers to design future studies in ways such that multiple layers of context and their influence on development can be examined.

An adolescent unit assessed: attitudes to a treatment experience for adolescents and their families An earlier paper described how the problem behaviours of adolescents who had experienced treatment at the Young People's Unit, Macclesfield changed. This paper describes the components of that experience, the clients' and referrers' evaluation of those components and their attitudes to the treatment received. The study occurred after an average post‐discharge period of two years. A factor analysis produced two main clusters of attitudes relating to “personal growth” and “valuing of the unit experience”. Youngsters with positive attitudes towards the experience had significantly better outcomes. This finding is compared with a study of approved school boys. It is suggested that the components of the Young Peoples' Unit may be more suited to the maturational tasks of adolescence. The findings refute the justification that residential units have helped personal growth despite the continuation of problem behaviour. The study has implications for Health Service planning for disturbed adolescents and for community agencies' attitudes to the use of residential treatment.

Social representations about the functions of deliberate self‐harm: Adolescents and parents ABSTRACT Introduction The understanding of the social representations about the functions of deliberate self‐harm can be an important factor for the comprehension of this phenomenon. Nonetheless, only a few studies focused on this topic and specifically on the social representations from adolescents with and without a history of deliberate self‐harm and their parents. Methods This article presents two studies that analysed these representations. Study 1 compared the social representations from 411 Portuguese adolescents (219 females and 192 males, aged 12–19 years), from which 109 reported having a history of deliberate self‐harm. Study 2 focused on the comparison of the social representations from 471 parents (265 mothers and 206 fathers, aged 33–62 years) of Portuguese adolescents. Of the parents in Study 2, 120 had children with a history of deliberate self‐harm. Results In Study 1, adolescents without a history of deliberate self‐harm perceived most interpersonal functions as more relevant than adolescents with a history of these behaviours, while adolescents with a history of deliberate self‐harm emphasized one intrapersonal function. In Study 2, no differences were found between parents of adolescents with and without a history of deliberate self‐harm. However, results revealed differences between the representations of mothers and fathers in several intrapersonal functions. Conclusions This research provides important insight regarding the social representations about the functions of deliberate self‐harm from adolescents with and without a reported history of these behaviours and their parents. The impact for clinical intervention and prevention programs is discussed.
