Moreover, as social relations play an increasingly important role in adolescence, the current research distinguishes between the social and individual school self-concepts of a student. Whereas individual school self-concept uses the perception of a student's own ability in the past in order to estimate perceived current ability, social school self-concept refers to the comparison of a student's own perceived current ability with the current perceived abilities of others. We examined the role of students' individual and social school self-concepts in the development of behavioral and emotional school engagement during the period from grade 8 to grade 9. The sample consisted of 1088 German adolescents at the first measurement time (M-age = 13.70, SD = 0.53; 53.9\% girls). The findings suggested a significant decline in both emotional and behavioral school engagement over the span of 1.5 years. In addition, social-but not individual-school self-concept was associated with the change in both dimensions of school engagement over time, such as it may intensify a student's decline in school engagement levels. This might be due to the fact that students with a high social school self-concept tend to increasingly emphasize competition and comparison and strive for high grades, which lowers students' school participation and identification in the long term.}, language = {en} } @article{BonacheGonzalezMendezKrahe2017, author = {Bonache, Helena and Gonzalez-Mendez, Rosaura and Krah{\´e}, Barbara}, title = {Romantic Attachment, Conflict Resolution Styles, and Teen Dating Violence Victimization}, series = {Journal of youth and adolescence : a multidisciplinary research publication}, volume = {46}, journal = {Journal of youth and adolescence : a multidisciplinary research publication}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {New York}, issn = {0047-2891}, doi = {10.1007/s10964-017-0635-2}, pages = {1905 -- 1917}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Although research on dating violence has increased in the last decades, little is known about the role of romantic attachment and conflict resolution in understanding victimization by an intimate partner among adolescents.

Anxious attachment was related to both forms of victimization via self-reported conflict engagement and conflict engagement attributed to the partner among boys and girls. Moreover, both insecure attachment styles were also indirectly linked to victimization via self-reported withdrawal and conflict engagement perceived in the partner, but only among boys.

We assessed justice sensitivity (from the victim, observer, and perpetrator perspective), bullying, and victimization among 565 German 12- to 18-year-olds in a one-year longitudinal study with two measurement points. Latent path analyses revealed gender differences in long-term effects of bullying and victimization on observer sensitivity and victim sensitivity. Experiences of victimization at T1 predicted an increase in victim sensitivity among girls and a decrease in victim sensitivity among boys. Bullying behavior at T1 predicted an increase in victim sensitivity among boys and a decrease in observer sensitivity among girls. We did not find long-term effects of justice sensitivity on bullying and victimization. Our findings indicate that experiences of bullying and victimization have gender-specific influences on the development of moral personality dispositions in adolescents.

The aim of the current study was to prospectively ascertain the relationship between age at first cigarette and initial smoking experiences, and to examine the combined effects of these characteristics of adolescent smoking behavior on adult smoking. It was hypothesized that the association between earlier age at first cigarette and later development of nicotine dependence may, at least in part, be attributable to differences in experiencing pleasurable early smoking sensations. Data were drawn from the participants of the Mannheim Study of Children at Risk, an ongoing epidemiological cohort study from birth to adulthood. Structured interviews at age 15, 19 and 22 years were conducted to assess the age at first cigarette, early smoking experiences and current smoking behavior in 213 young adults. In addition, the participants completed the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence. Adolescents who smoked their first cigarette at an earlier age reported more pleasurable sensations from the cigarette, and they were more likely to be regular smokers at age 22. The age at first cigarette also predicted the number of cigarettes smoked and dependence at age 22. Thus, both the age of first cigarette and the pleasure experienced from the cigarette independently predicted aspects of smoking at age 22.}, language = {en} } @article{BuchmannHohmWittetal.2015, author = {Buchmann, Arlette F. and Hohm, Erika and Witt, Stephanie H. and Blomeyer, Dorothea and Jennen-Steinmetz, Christine and Schmidt, Martin H. and Esser, G{\"u}nter and Banaschewski, Tobias and Brandeis, Daniel and Laucht, Manfred}, title = {Role of CNR1 polymorphisms in moderating the effects of psychosocial adversity on impulsivity in adolescents}, series = {Journal of neural transmission}, volume = {122}, journal = {Journal of neural transmission}, number = {3}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Wien}, issn = {0300-9564}, doi = {10.1007/s00702-014-1266-3}, pages = {455 -- 463}, year = {2015}, abstract = {Enhanced endocannabinoid signaling has been implicated in typically adolescent behavioral features such as increased risk-taking, impulsivity and novelty seeking. Research investigating the impact of genetic variants in the cannabinoid receptor 1 gene (CNR1) and of early rearing conditions has demonstrated that both factors contribute to the prediction of impulsivity-related phenotypes. The present study aimed to test the hypothesis of an interaction of the two most studied CNR1 polymorphisms rs806379 and rs1049353 with early psychosocial adversity in terms of affecting impulsivity in 15-year-olds from an epidemiological cohort sample followed since birth. In 323 adolescents (170 girls, 153 boys), problems of impulse control and novelty seeking were assessed using parent-report and self-report, respectively. Exposure to early psychosocial adversity was determined in a parent interview conducted at the age of 3 months. The results indicated that impulsivity increased following exposure to early psychosocial adversity, with this increase being dependent on CNR1 genotype. In contrast, while individuals exposed to early adversity scored higher on novelty seeking, no significant impact of genotype or the interaction thereof was detected. This is the first evidence to suggest that the interaction of CNR1 gene variants with the experience of early life adversity may play a role in determining adolescent impulsive behavior. However, given that the reported findings are obtained in a high-risk community sample, results are restricted in terms of interpretation and generalization. Future research is needed to replicate these findings and to identify the mediating mechanisms underlying this effect.}, language = {en} } @article{HelfertWarschburger2011, author = {Helfert, Susanne and Warschburger, Petra}, title = {A prospective study on the impact of peer and parental pressure on body dissatisfaction in adolescent girls and boys}, series = {Body image : an international journal of research}, volume = {8}, journal = {Body image : an international journal of research}, number = {2}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1740-1445}, doi = {10.1016/j.bodyim.2011.01.004}, pages = {101 -- 109}, year = {2011}, abstract = {The current study explores the role of appearance-related social pressure regarding changes in body image in adolescent girls (n = 236) and boys (n = 193) over a 1-year-period.

Three aspects proved to be particularly crucial: Parental encouragement to control weight and shape was a strong predictor of weight concerns in boys and girls alike; influences of friends affected gender-specific body image concerns by leading to weight concerns in girls and muscle concerns in boys; finally appearance-based exclusion was a predictor of weight concerns in boys. The findings provide longitudinal evidence for the crucial impact of appearance-related social pressure and suggest that a detailed assessment of different types of social impacts can identify concrete targets for effective prevention and therapy for weight-related problems among adolescents.}, language = {en} } @article{JungSchroederAbe2019, author = {Jung, Janis Moritz and Schr{\"o}der-Ab{\´e}, Michela}, title = {Prosocial behavior as a protective factor against peers' acceptance of aggression in the development of aggressive behavior in childhood and adolescence}, series = {Journal of adolescence}, volume = {74}, journal = {Journal of adolescence}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {London}, issn = {0140-1971}, doi = {10.1016/j.adolescence.2019.06.002}, pages = {146 -- 153}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{Krahe2014, author = {Krah{\´e}, Barbara}, title = {Media violence use as a risk factor for aggressive behaviour in adolescence}, series = {European review of social psychology}, volume = {25}, journal = {European review of social psychology}, number = {1}, publisher = {Routledge, Taylor \& Francis Group}, address = {Abingdon}, issn = {1046-3283}, doi = {10.1080/10463283.2014.923177}, pages = {71 -- 106}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @article{KraheTomaszewska2011, author = {Krah{\´e}, Barbara and Tomaszewska, Paulina}, title = {Sexual scripts and the acceptance of sexual aggression in Polish adolescents}, series = {European journal of developmental psychology}, volume = {8}, journal = {European journal of developmental psychology}, number = {6}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Hove}, issn = {1740-5629}, doi = {10.1080/17405629.2011.611034}, pages = {697 -- 712}, year = {2011}, abstract = {A study with 199 Polish adolescents explored the prominence of risk factors of sexual aggression as part of the sexual scripts for consensual sexual encounters and as predictors of the acceptance of sexual aggression.

Individual scripts contained fewer risk factors of sexual aggression than general scripts. The more prominently the risk elements featured in the individual (but not in the general) scripts, the more they were seen as acceptable.
