This review examines how well children of immigrants in Europe are doing in terms of educational, psychological, and behavioral outcomes. Based on theory and research in developmental, social and acculturation psychology fields, we explore the immigrant paradox (e.g., first-generation immigrant children show better adaptation in comparison to their native and second-generation counterparts) and migration morbidity (e.g., immigrants display less favorable outcomes than natives) in 102 studies conducted in 14 European countries. We conclude that theoretical assumptions of developmental (e.g., promoting context in families, schools, neighborhoods), social (e.g., intercultural behaviors and attitudes, lack of discrimination) and acculturation psychology (e.g., cultural maintenance and adoption, biculturalism) are powerful constituents for optimal adaptation of immigrant children and youth. Taken together, these constituents should guide policies and programs targeting optimal outcomes for R

Breastfeeding supports the formation of an emotional bond between mothers and their children. The feeding method is associated with both the child's temperament and the mother's perception of herself and the child. Therefore, the present study focuses on the feeding method, mothers' reaction during feeding, and infants' temperament traits. Ninety-eight mothers with children aged 3 to 5 months participated in the study. Children were assessed with the Children Development Scale (A. Matczak et al., 2007) to measure their temperament. Mothers completed the Mother and Baby Scale (D. Wolke & I. St James-Roberts, 1987, as cited in T.B. Brazelton & K. Nugent, 1995), which measures mothers' evaluation of their children's behaviors during feeding and their overall experiences with their children's care. The results show that breastfed newborns, as compared to bottle-fed newborns, demonstrate higher vigor, which includes activity and the intensity of reaction. Bottle-fed children demonstrate higher regularity than do breastfed children. Mothers who bottle-feed their children perceive themselves to be less confident in the feeding domain than do mothers who breastfeed. Our results indicate that children's temperament might be an important factor in the decision regarding the feeding method. The study supports the idea of promoting knowledge of children's behaviors during feeding among mothers even before their children are born, such as during antenatal classes.

Emerging adulthood is a core developmental period in which individuals can develop a meaningful identity in the relational domain (with a romantic partner). The aim of the study was to examine relationships between relations with parents and identity statuses in the relational domain in emerging adults. participants and procedureParticipants were 266 (47.30% males) emerging adults (M = 22.50, SD = 1.73). They completed self-report measures of relations with parents and identity. resultsMore than half of the participants were in the moratorium status or were not involved in a romantic relationship (35% and 29%, respectively). Relations with parents were linked to identity statuses in the relational domain. Particularly, the perception of low autonomy given by the father was related to less mature identity statuses. conclusionsThis study highlighted that transition from singleness to stable partnerships seems to be challenging. Therefore, it is important to examine correlates of identity statuses in this domain.key words identity; relations with mother; relations with father; emerging adults; romantic relationship Relations with parents and identity statuses in the relational domain in emerging adultscorresponding author -Justyna Michałek, Ph.D.,

background Parents' labour migration generates new types of families -transnational family, where one parent or both parents migrate and leave their children behind. Separation with parents could influence the child's psychosocial functioning. The aim of this study was to analyse the situation of adolescents who experience separation from their parent/ parents caused by labour migration, especially how temporary absence of the parent is associated with the adolescents' personal identity. participants and procedureParticipants were 99 high school youth from transnational families and 76 from non-transnational families who were asked to fill out the following measures: Identity Development Scale (U-GIDS) (Meeus, 1996;Rostowski, 1997), the in terview questionnaire to collect information about parents' migration. resultsThe migration factor differentiates: occurrence of personal identity statuses -in the area of interpersonal relationships (with parents and peers) and school. conclusionsSeparation from a parent caused by labour migration is linked to occurrence of personal identity statuses. key words personal identity; parent's migration; transnational family; adolescents
