“…Although, to our knowledge, no research has analysed the role of gender and age in the specific fear of judgment based on appearance (SAA) in adult or adolescent samples, the gender and age differences across adolescents found in this research converged with a large body of research indicating that in general terms body and overall appearance concerns, social fears and particularly negative evaluation fears, and social anxiety are more salient from mid-adolescence onwards and across female participants [26,27,32,34,37,47,62,69]. Developmental explanations for higher levels of SAA occurring in older adolescents include strong emotional investment in peers and the increasing pressures of the peer group [32,33,35]. Future studies are necessary to substantiate these hypotheses, and further elucidate the role of gender and age in SAA, given the dearth of research on this topic and that in this work the effect sizes for age differences during adolescence were small (d = .22).…”

“…Negative interpersonal evaluation involving one's appearance seems as one of the main sources of distress during adolescence [25-27, 31, 32] in part due to significant physical changes, increased importance of social conformity and desire to appear attractive to members of the opposite sex, and heightened self-consciousness and concerns for peer evaluations [11,27,[31][32][33][34][35]. However, little is currently known regarding its effects on an adolescent's emotional experiences, well-being and health-related outcomes.…”

Anxiety in situations where one's overall appearance (including body shape) may be negatively evaluated is hypothesized to play a central role in Eating Disorders (EDs) and in their co-occurrence with Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD). Three studies were conducted among community (N = 1995) and clinical (N = 703) ED samples of 11-to 18-year-old Italian girls and boys to (a) evaluate the psychometric qualities and measurement equivalence/invariance (ME/I) of the Social Appearance Anxiety (SAA) Scale (SAAS) and (b) determine to what extent SAA or other situational domains of social anxiety related to EDs distinguish adolescents with an ED only from those with SAD. Results upheld the one-factor structure and ME/I of the SAAS across samples, gender, age categories, and diagnostic status (i.e., ED participants with and without comorbid SAD). The SAAS demonstrated high internal consistency and 3-week test-retest reliability. The strength of the inter-relationships between SAAS and measures of body image, teasing about appearance, ED symptoms, depression, social anxiety, avoidance, and distress, as well as the ability of SAAS to discriminate community adolescents with high and low levels of ED symptoms and community participants from ED participants provided construct validity evidence. Only SAA strongly differentiated adolescents with any ED from those with comorbid SAD (23.2 %). Latent mean comparisons across all study groups were performed and discussed.

“…Here, we have presented first evidence for a developmental shift toward more conditional cooperation as children move from middle childhood to adolescence. Given the burgeoning literature showing that peer problems figure prominently in the formation and maintenance of maladaptive behavior (Parker, Rubin, Stephen, Wojslawowicz, & Buskirk, 2006), behavioral assessments of cooperative strategies applicable to large samples may also add an important layer of understanding to the field of developmental psychopathology.…”

The Pizzagame: A virtual public goods game to assess cooperative behavior in children and adolescents

Social dilemmas are characterized by conflicts between immediate self-interest and long-term collective goals. Although such conflicts lie at the heart of various challenging social interactions, we know little about how cooperation in these situations develops. To extend work on social dilemmas to child and adolescent samples, we developed an ageappropriate computer task (the Pizzagame) with the structural features of a public goods game (PGG). We administered the Pizzagame to a sample of 191 children 9 to 16 years of age. Subjects were led to believe they were playing the game over the Internet with three sets of two same-aged, same-sex coplayers. In fact, the co-players were computer-generated and programmed to expose children to three consecutive conditions: (1) a cooperative strategy, (2) a selfish strategy, and (3) divergent cooperative-selfish strategies. Supporting the validity of the Pizzagame, our results revealed that children and adolescents displayed conditional cooperation, such that their contributions rose with the increasing cooperativeness of their co-players. Age and gender did not influence children and adolescents' cooperative behavior within each condition.However, older children adapted their behavior more flexibly between conditions to parallel the strategies of their coplayers. These results support the utility of the Pizzagame as a feasible, reliable, and valid instrument for assessing and quantifying child and adolescent cooperative behavior. Moreover, these findings extend previous work showing that age influences cooperative behavior in the PGG.

“…El tipo de juego típico entre los grupos de niños y niñas muestra características distintivas. Por ejemplo, los niños escogen interactuar con sus pares con mayor frecuencia en grupos mayores que enfatizan la competitividad, los temas de héroes y rescates, y los juegos más agresivos, mientras las niñas juegan usualmente en grupos más pequeños y destacan las conversaciones, la cooperación y temas de relacionamiento (Parker et al, 2006;Rose & Smith, 2011). Investigaciones han encontrado consistentemente mayores niveles de agresión físi-ca en los niños que en las niñas (Rose & Smith, 2011) lo que podrá explicar la mayor proporción de rechazo entre los niños.…”

ABSTRACT:The main models of emotional intelligence (IE) were design primarily for adults, not for children. For this reason, many aspects of the EI rarely studied in preschoolers. Thus, this study aims to analyze the emotional understanding (CE), a complex construct, considered a key component of IE in young children and that includes various skills, including the differentiating one's emotions and understand the emotions of others based in facial expressions and characteristics of situations of emotional context. Our goal is to analyze the relationship between emotional understanding and peer relations. The sample consisted of 210 children between 3 and 6 years of age, which were administered the Test of Emotion Comprehension (TEC, Pons et al., 2004, translated to Portuguese by Roazzi et al. 2008) and a sociometric test. The results confirm that, increasing the age increases the level of CE and emotional understanding may influence peer relationships.Keywords: emotional intelligence, emotional understanding, peer relationship, sociometric analysis. RESUMEN:Los principales modelos de inteligencia emocional (IE) fueron diseñados, principalmente, para el pensamiento adulto, no para niños. Por esta razón, muchos aspectos de la IE raramente han sido estudiando en niños en edad preescolar. Así, este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar la comprensión emocional, un constructo complejo, considerado componente clave de la IE en niños pequeños y que engloba varias habilidades, entre ellas, la de diferenciar las emociones propias y la de comprender las emociones de los otros basándose en las expresiones faciales y en las características de las situaciones de contexto emocional. Nuestro objetivo es analizar la relación entre la comprensión emocional y las relaciones entre pares. La muestra estuvo constituida por 210 niños y niñas entre los 3 y 6 años de edad, a los cuales se les administro el Test of Emotion Comprehension (TEC, de Pons et al., 2004, traducida para el portugués por Roazzi et al., 2008) y una prueba sociométrica.
