“…As these adolescents are also less likely to have individual, family, or community resources to deal with these negative consequences, they might be more likely to experience negative outcomes across multiple domains of functioning. It is therefore crucial to increase policy efforts to identify and support those youth, to prevent further and long‐lasting negative consequences resulting in increasing inequalities (Hussong et al., 2021 ).…”

“…Individuals may show different responses to chronic stress in different phases, developing from alarm, resistance, and adaptation to exhaustion (Butto, 2019 ). It would be important for future research to understand which adolescents experience chronic negative consequences and which adolescents are able to bounce back to normal again, or even have learned and benefitted from the pandemic, once the pandemic is over or people get used to the “new normal’ (see also Hussong et al., 2021 ). Also, studies need to include different age cohorts to disentangle “normative” developmental changes from changes due to the pandemic.…”

The COVID‐19 pandemic has had a strong impact on adolescents worldwide. This special issue aimed to increase our understanding of the factors that explain interindividual differences in how adolescents are affected by the pandemic. The special issue includes 21 empirical articles from four continents on the role of the pandemic in changes in emotional, social, and academic adjustment during adolescence. The studies demonstrate that many adolescents experienced increased depressive symptoms, negative affect, and loneliness, and lower academic adjustment during the pandemic, particularly those that were already at risk before the pandemic. At the same time, many adolescents had individual, family, and community resources that made them resilient and helped them to continue to function well despite the adverse circumstances.

“…Researchers have called for more longitudinal research on risk and resilience in adolescents particularly amidst the stressful COVID-19 lockdown (Dvorsky et al, 2021). Due to the global nature of the pandemic, it is important to have a contextualized approach that takes into account the "cultural and national ecologies" of youth development (Hussong et al, 2021). Measures of resilience have often focused on the identification of personal characteristics that allow individuals to overcome, and even thrive, in the face of stressors and adversity (Guazzelli Williamson et al, 2021;Dulin et al, 2018;Connor & Davidson, 2003).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has touched the lives of adolescents around the world. This longitudinal, observational study followed 1,334 adolescents (11 - 17 yo) to investigate whether personal and/or caregiver resilience relates to changes in internalizing symptoms during six stressful weeks of COVID-19 lockdown in Perú. In this work, we contextualize socio-ecological resilience in relation to culturally-relevant personal and caregiver resources that youth can use to adapt to stressful situations. We found that adolescents who reported higher levels of personal, caregiver, and overall resilience had lower levels of anxiety and depression at week six. We also find that personal, caregiver and overall resilience moderated the change in anxiety across the five week period of lockdown.

“…As much as the COVID-19 pandemic affected adolescents across the globe differently, it will be impossible to know the extent to which the pandemic affected this cohort for many years to come [ 162 ]. Although adolescents forged forward with remarkable resilience in the face of unprecedented, confusing, and fearful circumstances, there will be inevitable lifelong consequences to living through the generational shock of a prolonged, multi-year, worldwide pandemic.…”

This review explores the literature regarding the ways in which the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the navigation of developmental milestones among adolescents, specifically those in late adolescence, across several domains of their lives. The exploration is contextualized globally, focusing on five key areas: mental health, physical health, education, peer relationships, and family relationships. Implications for practice and interventions are explored in each key area to provide recommendations for those working with adolescents, as well as future research. The changes brought about by the pandemic and the readjustment to what some have referred to as the “new normalcy” will undoubtedly have lasting effects on all areas of life for this cohort of adolescents, who have shown remarkable resilience navigating this new and unfamiliar world. These changes are synthesized, with the aim to highlight differences and similarities of the shared experiences of the pandemic globally. After exploring the current realities, this chapter goes on to outline the ways in which the experience of such a significant developmental period of one’s life during the COVID-19 pandemic will have an impact on adolescents for years to come. Although it is still impossible to comprehend the long-term effects, in examining proximal effects, we can postulate distal implications and potential future effects, as well as possible ways to mitigate these implications as we transition back to more of what was experienced pre-pandemic life, from a post-pandemic experience.
