“…Additionally, the present study did not find direct relations between ANS reactivity and adolescents’ peer adjustment, which is not inconsistent with the literature, in which direct associations between physiology and social or behavioral outcomes are typically small or non-significant (Abaied et al, 2014; Hastings et al, 2014). Additionally, studies that have documented direct associations between physiology and youth outcomes have typically focused on externalizing and internalizing problems (e.g., Beauchaine, 2001; Murray-Close, 2013; Scarpa, 2015), with a limited number of studies examining peer adjustment or friendship outcomes (e.g., Murray-Close, 2013).…”

“…For instance, a stronger association linking harsh parenting and externalizing symptoms emerged when SCLR to cognitive (i.e., star tracing) and social (i.e., inter-adult argument) tasks were low (Erath et al, 2009; see also Kochanska et al, 2015 and Kochanska et al, 2016); although longitudinal evidence is somewhat inconsistent (e.g., Erath, El-Sheikh, Hinnant, & Cummings, 2011). Further, parental socialization of disengagement coping (e.g., behavioral and cognitive avoidance of problems) was associated with an increased risk for disengagement coping responses among young adults who exhibited RSA augmentation to a non-interpersonal task (Abaied et al, 2014). The risk of ANS under-arousal has also been documented in other stress contexts, such as peer victimization (Erath, Su, & Tu, in press; Gregson, Tu & Erath, 2014; Wagner & Abaied, 2015).…”

The present study examined sympathetic and parasympathetic indices of autonomic nervous system reactivity as moderators of the prospective association between parental management of peers via directing of youths’ friendships and peer adjustment in a sample of typically developing adolescents. Participants included 246 adolescents at Time 1 (T1) [47% boys; 66% European American (EA), 34% African American (AA)] and 226 adolescents at Time 2 (T2; 45% boys; 67% EA, 33% AA). Adolescents were approximately 16 and 17 years old at T1 and T2, respectively. To address study aims, a multi-informant, multi-method longitudinal design was utilized. Skin conductance level (SCL) and respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) were measured during a baseline period and challenge task (star-tracing). Reactivity was computed as a difference score between the task and baseline period. Results from path models revealed that higher levels of mother-reported parental directing predicted decreases in adolescent-reported peer rejection and friends’ deviant behavior from T1 to T2 at relatively low levels of physiological arousal in response to challenge (i.e., low SCL reactivity, RSA augmentation). Further, exploratory analyses indicated that directing was associated with decreases in friends’ deviant behavior and peer rejection particularly among boys who exhibited lower levels of physiological arousal, but increases in friends’ deviant behavior among boys who exhibited higher levels of arousal reflected in RSA withdrawal only. Overall, findings are consistent with prior studies revealing the benefits of parental behavioral control for under-aroused youth, contributing to the growing literature on the interplay of parenting and physiological factors in the adolescent peer domain.

“…Furthermore, middle childhood represents a transitional period in which children are increasingly capable of implementing coping strategies on their own, but still rely on parents for guidance to some degree (Skinner & Zimmer‐Gembeck, ). Most research on socialization of coping, however, has focused on adolescence and emerging adulthood (Abaied & Rudolph, , ; Abaied et al., ); focusing on middle childhood represents a logical next step for this area of research.…”

“…Socialization of coping is a construct that measures how parents teach their children to regulate their emotions and behaviors in the face of stress (Abaied & Rudolph, ; Kliewer, Fearnow, & Miller, ). Research indicates that socialization of coping can either support or undermine healthy adjustment in youth, depending upon the types of coping strategies parents encourage their children to use (Abaied & Rudolph, , ; Abaied, Wagner, & Sanders, ; Kliewer et al., , ; Werner, Eaton, Lyle, Tseng, & Holst, ). However, much of this research is cross‐sectional or relies on limited methods for assessing socialization of coping.…”

This research examined the longitudinal association between parent socialization of coping and child adjustment, as well as the moderating role of children's skin conductance level reactivity (SCLR). Participants were a community sample of children (n = 64, M age = 9.02, 54.5% females, 93.2% Caucasian) and their parent(s). Parent coping suggestions were observed while their child engaged in a stressful challenge task, during which the child's SCLR, a measure of children's physiological reactivity to stress, was also measured. Parent(s) completed the Child Behavior Checklist (Achenbach & Rescorla, 2001) at baseline and a 6-month follow-up to assess internalizing and externalizing problems. Results revealed that secondary control engagement suggestions predicted fewer internalizing problems over time. In addition, disengagement suggestions predicted fewer externalizing problems over time among children with high SCLR. This study provides evidence that parent coping suggestions serve as a resource that protects youth from developing adjustment problems.

“…Additionally, program staff can filter the failure experiences youth are exposed to by highlighting the growth and learning potential of the circumstance (e.g., Kliewer et al, 2006). For example, camp counselors may socialize campers to engage in positive reappraisal and view difficulties in activities as challenges that are surmountable with effort (Abaied, Wagner, & Sanders, 2014). Through these processes, staff may be able to help young people to engage in emotion-or problemfocused coping mechanisms and minimize avoidance coping so youth go on to persevere in the face of failure.…”

The Developmental Importance of Success and Failure Experiences at Summer Camp

Young people can learn from success and failure. Such experiences are useful in developing skills (e.g., perseverance and coping), and remain essential facets of youth programming. However, success and failure can also impede development. Appraisal theory has been used widely to examine youths' experiences with success and failure in school and sport, yet summer camps represent an important setting where success and failure may look and feel different. In camp settings success or failure are often more subjective and less dependent on objective performance indicators such as grades, wins, or losses. Because of these contextual differences, little is known about youth experiences with success and failure at summer camp. Therefore, the primary aim of this study was to use summer camp as a context to describe youths' appraisals of success and failure experiences and the associated development. Findings explain how success and failure at camp can contribute to the positive development of selfefficacy, effective coping, and perseverance. Furthermore, some youth exhibit unproductive responses to failure at camp which may obstruct opportunities for growth. Implications for practice are recommended to help camp staff support young people through failure experiences and to maximize the positive developmental potential of both failure and success at camp.
