“…For example, Gibbons, O'Hara, Stock, Gerrard, Weng, & Wills (2012) showed that discriminatory experiences of African-American adolescents increased anger and impulsivity. Another study shows how girls' experience of gender discrimination by middle school staff predicts increased depression and decreased sleep (Bell & Juvonen, 2019). Sleep deprivation as well as poor quality sleep, in turn are related to increased threat and anxiety (Talbot, McGlinchey, Kaplan, Dahl, & Harvey, 2010) and lower academic performance (Dewald, Meijer, Oort, Kerkhof,, & Bögels, (2010).…”

The goal of the current paper is to provide a critical analysis of barriers to social inclusion in schools and propose inclusive educational practices that help connect and unite diverse students.Diversity is defined broadly as overall heterogeneity. We review theoretical frameworks that help explain group dynamics and contextual conditions that contribute to exclusion (i.e., peer victimization, rejection, friendlessness) of students based on ethnicity, sexual orientation, body weight, etc. We argue that to be able to facilitate peer acceptance and cross-group friendships,

“…Multiple aspects of gender and gender socialization shape health and wellbeing over the life course ( Snow, 2008 ). For example, an egalitarian view of gender roles is associated with lower conduct problems for both boys and girls ( King et al, 2019 ), and girls in middle-school who experience gender discrimination by an adult in their school report higher depression and worse sleep ( Bell and Juvonen, 2020 ). In adolescence, girls who uphold rigid beliefs about femininity report low rates of sexual self-efficacy and a greater propensity for sexual risk taking ( Impett et al, 2006 ).…”

The Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development SM (ABCD) study is a longitudinal study of adolescent brain development and health that includes over 11,800 youth in the United States. The ABCD study includes broad developmental domains, and gender and sexuality are two of these with noted changes across late childhood and early adolescence. The Gender Identity and Sexual Health (GISH) workgroup recommends measures of gender and sexuality for the ABCD study, prioritizing those that are developmentally sensitive, capture individual differences in the experience of gender and sexuality, and minimize participant burden. This manuscript describes the gender and sexuality measures used in ABCD and provides guidance for researchers using these data. Data showing the utility of these measures and longitudinal trends are presented. Including assessment of gender and sexuality in ABCD allows for characterization of developmental trajectories of gender and sexuality, and the broad scope of ABCD data collection allows examination of identity development in an intersectional manner.

“…For instance, English et al (2014) found that racial discrimination was associated with depression among Black girls. Regarding the impact of gender discrimination on depressive symptomatology, perceived gender discrimination from teachers was associated with perceiving the environment as inequitable and higher depressive symptomatology among a racially and ethnically diverse sample of adolescent females (Bell & Juvonen, 2020).…”

Objectives: The present study examines how race and gender-specific factors (i.e., racial centrality and gender role beliefs) serve as protective assets against the harmful impact of racial and gender discrimination on depressive symptomatology and suicidal ideation for Black girls. Method: Our sample included 232 Black girls ages 15–17 years old (Mage = 16.85) from a socioeconomically diverse community context. Results: Our findings revealed that racial and gender discrimination from teachers was associated with higher levels of depressive symptomatology. Perceived gender discrimination by teachers and endorsing traditional gender role beliefs were associated with higher reports of suicidal ideation. Perceiving higher instances of racial discrimination from teachers and reporting lower levels of racial centrality were associated with higher depressive symptomatology. Conclusions: The findings suggest the need to create safe spaces and to consider the interactions that occur in school settings that impact the mental health of Black girls.
