Constructive handling of mistakes in the classroom: The conjoint power of collaborative networks and self-efficacy beliefs

Lysann Zander, Madeleine Kreutzmann, Ilka Wolter

Zeitschrift für Erziehungswissenschaft > 2014 > 17 > 5 > 205-223

Constructive handling of mistakes enhances successful learning and involves an affective and a cognitive dimension: (a) low fear of making mistakes (FOM) and (b) high positive learning orientation towards mistakes (PLOM). We examine the role of collaborative peer networks for both dimensions of students’ constructive handling of mistakes by analyzing their overall structure (density) and students’...

Stichwort: Familie, Peers und (informelle) Bildung im Kindes- und Jugendalter

Anna Brake, Peter Büchner

Zeitschrift für Erziehungswissenschaft > 2013 > 16 > 3 > 481-502

Außerschulische, im ganz „normalen“ Lebensalltag zu erbringende (primär erfahrungsbezogene und lebensweltlich geprägte) Bildungsleistungen von Heranwachsenden werden in ihrem Stellenwert für den Verlauf von deren Bildungsbiographien vielfach unterschätzt. Dies umso mehr, als die Bildungsbedeutsamkeit von sehr unterschiedlichen bildungsstiftenden Gelegenheitsstrukturen im Feld von Familien- und Gleichaltrigenbeziehungen...

Contextualizing school discipline: Examining the role of general peer and teacher discrimination at the individual‐ and school‐level on individual suspension

Daniel Trovato, Gregory M. Zimmerman

Journal of Research on Adolescence > 34 > 3 > 897 - 911

Past research has linked peer and teacher discrimination to risk factors for school discipline, but few studies have examined whether peer and teacher discrimination have a direct impact on school discipline. This study examines the effects of general peer and teacher discrimination at the individual‐ and school‐level on school suspension using nationally representative, secondary data on almost 12,000...

The intimate socialities of going carbon neutral

Rebecca Collins

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers > 49 > 3 > n/a - n/a

This paper argues that the generation of social intimacy is critical to enabling acts of environmental care. By interrogating the intimate socialities of a group of young people who grew up in a village community committed to carbon reduction, I untangle the influence of everyday intimacies on everyday (un)sustainabilities, particularly in relation to the popular but uncritical positioning of young...

Being on top versus not dangling at the bottom: Popularity motivation and aggression in youth

Tessa A. M. Lansu, Yvonne H. M. Berg

Aggressive Behavior > 50 > 4 > n/a - n/a

Whereas research on aggression and status motivation in youth has predominantly looked at a promotion focus (striving for popularity), a prevention focus (wanting to avoid low popularity) could also be an important determinant of aggression, as youth who fear low popularity may use strategic aggression to secure their position. The aim of the current study was to develop reliable measures for both...

Drawing on a multi‐method qualitative research, the work foregrounds the perspectives and experiences of Black girls and girls of colour involved in an anti‐racist Scottish youth work charity. I argue that...

Kayla Mansour, Christopher J. Greenwood, Lauren M. Francis, Imogene Smith, more

Applied Psychology: Health and Well‐Being > 16 > 1 > 138 - 157

Internationally, there is growing attention on links between social isolation and mental health problems. Here, we use unique Australian longitudinal data to investigate associations between adult men's (n = 507; age M = 29.90, SD = 1.31) social network investments and their concurrent and subsequent mental health problems. In linear regressions, using generalised estimating equations (GEEs), we examined...

Yijie Wang, Sylvia Lin

Infant and Child Development > 32 > 6 > n/a - n/a

Peer groups are a central socialization setting in adolescence, and an emerging body of research has started to investigate the influence of peers on how adolescents understand, think about, and act on issues of ethnicity and race. This commentary summarizes the existing research that has investigated peer ethnic/racial socialization (ERS) and its associations with adolescent outcomes, highlighting...

Emerging Ideas: Is sibling aggression as scary as peer aggression in childhood and adolescence?

Corinna Jenkins Tucker, David Finkelhor, Heather Turner

Family Relations > 72 > 5 > 3023 - 3028

Objective We compared the frequency of fearfulness for sibling versus peer victimization experiences (severe and minor physical, property, and psychological) in childhood and adolescence. Background Sibling aggression is not recognized as a childhood adversity. Yet a tenet of the family violence literature is that abuse is more fearsome when living with an abuser. Method Telephone interviews...

The present study examined the attitudes and behavioral intentions of 336 children aged 7–11 toward a hypothetical peer with symptoms of attention‐deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to determine whether they were influenced by labeling, social devaluation, or familiarity. Children read one of five vignettes describing the behavior of a gender‐neutral peer before completing self‐report measures...

Samuel N. Meisel, Hayley Treloar Padovano, Melissa Pielech, Kimberly Goodyear, more

Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research > 47 > 5 > 975 - 985

Background Although peers figure prominently in developmental models of alcohol use, our understanding of the influence of peer social context in cue reactivity paradigms with adolescents and emerging adults in the human laboratory and the natural environment is limited.

The “STICKINESS” of stigma: Guilt by association after a friend's arrest

Erin Tinney

Criminology > 61 > 2 > 354 - 383

Prior research has examined the consequences of one's police contact, but the consequences of vicarious police contact are not as well known. This study expands on labeling theory and the concept of “stickiness” by assessing whether a friend's arrest increases the likelihood of one's police contact. Using a sample of rural youth (N = 13,170), I find that a friend's arrest is associated with an increase...

Engaging peers to promote well‐being and inclusion of newcomer students: A call for equity‐informed peer interventions

Claire V. Crooks, Nataliya Kubishyn, Amira Noyes, Gina Kayssi

Psychology in the Schools > 59 > 12 > 2422 - 2437

Although newcomer youth demonstrate high levels of resiliency, many experience challenges in emotional, linguistic, academic, and social functioning. Over the past decade, some promising school‐based psychosocial interventions for newcomer youth have been developed. These interventions are necessary, but not sufficient to promote well‐being. Without attention to the larger context, focusing solely...

Teaching social initiations to elementary‐aged children with autism: A systematic review

Hazim Ismail, Jenna M. Weglarz‐Ward, Suheyla Sarisahin

Behavioral Interventions > 37 > 4 > 1181 - 1205

Children initiate social interactions to greet, ask questions, invite peers to play, and for many other purposes. However, failure to initiate social interactions is one of the social communication criteria that are required to diagnose autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and may limit social opportunities for children with ASD. Several researchers examined different interventions to teach social initiations...
