“…After controlling for course of study, year of schooling, achievement grade and family financial situation, the unique variance accounted for by peer socialization in intention to quit school, truancy, class absence, school alienation and improved motivation for continued education was 7.9 %, 7.2 %, 6.8% , 6.5% and 5.3 %, respectively. Thus the findings support previous research documenting relationships between peer relations and school related measures (Lubbers et al 2006;Vèronneau and Vitaro 2007;Demir and Urberg 2004), and the understanding of school adjustment not as a purely individual, intrapsychic state, but embedded in a complex web of social and personal relationships (Goodenow and Grady 1993).…”

The purpose of present study was to explore the perceptions of peers as socialization agents in school adjustment among upper secondary school students. The associations were studied in a sample of 564Norwegian students. Results showed that perceptions of friends and classmates as socialization agents accounted for unique variances in various measures of school adjustment, when controlled for academic achievement, family financial situation, year of schooling, gender and course of study. The unique effect of peer socialization factors on variances in intentions to quit school, truancy, class absence, school alienation and improved motivation for continued education was 7.9%, 7.2%, 6.8%, 6.5% and 5.3% respectively, indicating that late adolescent's school adjustment are statistically significant, but relatively moderately associated with different aspects of peer socialization. Schoolobstructive regulation was the variable that accounted for most variances in school adjustment, followed by classmate support and school-supportive regulation.

“…In a cross-sectional study, Nangle et al (2003) found support for a model in which friendedness and friendship quality fully mediate the association between popularity (a construct often characterized as the opposite of rejection) and loneliness in children. In contrast, Demir and Urberg (2004) found no bivariate association between acceptance and depressed mood in their adolescent sample. This finding does not, however, necessarily conflict with the sequential mediation hypothesis.…”

“…Low friendedness, in turn, may affect adjustment into early adolescence. Indeed, peer acceptance is thought to foster the development of high-quality friendships that enhance developmental outcomes (Demir & Urberg, 2004;Nangle, Erdley, Newman, Mason, & Carpenter, 2003). Conversely, peer rejection may contribute to difficulties in establishing these high-quality, development-enhancing friendships.…”

The Timing of Middle‐Childhood Peer Rejection and Friendship: Linking Early Behavior to Early‐Adolescent Adjustment

et al. 2007

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study used a sample of 551 children surveyed yearly from ages 6 to 13 to examine the longitudinal associations among early behavior, middle-childhood peer rejection and friendedness, and early-adolescent depressive symptoms, loneliness, and delinquency. The study tested a sequential mediation hypothesis in which (a) behavior problems in the early school years are associated with middle-childhood peer rejection and (b) rejection, in turn, leads to lower friendedness and subsequently higher adolescent internalizing-but not externalizing-problems. Results supported this sequential mediation model for internalizing outcomes and revealed an additional path from early disruptiveness to loneliness via peer rejection alone. No evidence of sequential mediation was observed for delinquency.

“…A qualidade positiva da amizade pode influenciar o ajustamento dos adolescentes. Estudos mostram os efeitos positivos da qualidade positiva da amizade, como elevada auto-estima e níveis menos elevados de solidão (Demir & Urberg, 2004). Dessa forma, parece que manter um bom relacionamento com os pais e com os pares é o factor que maior influência poderá ter para um melhor ajustamento dos adolescentes (Laible & Thompson, 2000).…”

ResumoO objectivo do presente estudo foi analisar a influência e o impacto dos pais e do grupo de pares nos comportamentos de saúde e risco dos adolescentes portugueses. Para isso, estudou-se o tipo de comunicação que os adolescentes mantêm com os pais e com os pares. A amostra foi constituída pelos sujeitos participantes no estudo realizado em Portugal Continental, que integra o estudo Europeu HBSC-Health Beaviour in School-aged Children. O estudo incluiu um total de 4877 estudantes do 6º, 8º e 10º ano de escolaridade de escolas públicas portuguesas, com média de idades igual a 14 anos. Os resultados revelaram que uma boa comunicação com os pais tem um maior efeito protector sobre os comportamentos de risco do que uma boa comunicação com os amigos. Adolescentes com boa comunicação com os pais e amigos revelaram serem mais felizes e satisfeitos com a vida. Os resultados encontrados salientam a importância da comunicação e do relacionamento positivo com os pais e com os pares simultaneamente.

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of parents and peer group on health and risky behaviors of Portuguese adolescents. It was studied the type of communication that adolescents have with their parents and with peers. The sample consisted of subjects who participated in a study performed in Portugal, which incorporates the European HBSC-Health Behavior in School-aged Children study. The study included a total of 4.877 students in 6 Grande parte do comportamento dos adolescentes é influenciado pelas relações que mantém durante a infân-cia e adolescência. Enquanto ao longo da infância passam a maior parte do tempo com os pais, durante a adolescência os amigos passam a ter um papel essencial na sua vida. Conhecer o tipo de grupo em que o adolescente se encontra inserido e o tipo de comportamentos em que se envolvem poderá facilitar a prevenção de comportamentos de risco como o consumo de tabaco, o consumo de substâncias, entre outros. Matos et al. (2006) no estudo com objectivo de analisar os comportamentos e estilo de vida dos adolescentes portugueses, verificaram que entre o ano de 2002 e o ano de 2006 a comunicação dos adolescentes com os pais diminuiu, enquanto o tempo que os adolescentes passam com os amigos depois das aulas e os dias que saem com estes à noite aumentou. Resultados que indicam que a relação que os adolescentes mantêm com os pais e com os pares vem sofrendo alterações ao longo dos anos e que essas alterações poderão ser visíveis no tipo de comunicação que mantêm com ambos.A família tem um papel fundamental no desenvolvimento global da criança e do adolescente. As famílias e os factores a elas associados têm influência na educação, na socialização, na prestação de cuidados, na transmissão de crenças e valores e, de um modo geral, na saúde e bem-estar dos seus elementos. Apesar dos adolescentes alargarem os seus espaços e horizontes, os pais continuam a ser a sua principal base de ...
