“…The effect of peer attachment on adolescent's strengths and difficulties-including prosocial behavior, emotional and conduct problems-has been previously studied [16,19,29,31,32]. However, only a limited number of studies have taken into account the mediating role of empathy [33,50], but none of them was carried out in the Spanish adolescent population [51].…”

“…Hence, adolescents who perceive their peers as neither supportive nor trustworthy and often feel isolated from their peer group, tend to present emotional and behavioral difficulties [28]. Previous research has supported the role of peer attachment in explaining adolescent's engagement in behavioral problems such as aggressive behavior and substance abuse [29,30]. Additionally, attachment insecurity increases the possibility of emotional symptoms such as depression and anxiety [31].…”

Attachment theories postulate that during adolescence, peer relationships become more important as a predictor of positive social, emotional and behavioral outcomes. Adolescents develop the ability to empathize with others, which is related to healthy functioning and positive peer relationships. Empathy has been studied as a potential mechanism that may help to explain how strong and healthy emotional bonds are associated with less emotional disorders and conduct problems in youth. The main purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between peer attachment and strengths and difficulties during adolescence, considering empathy as a potential mediator of this association. A total of 800 Spanish adolescents (56.65% girls), aged between 12 and 15 years (M = 14.02, SD = 1.21), completed measures of peer attachment, empathy, conduct problems, emotional difficulties and prosocial behavior. Structural equation models indicated that peer attachment was negatively associated with conduct problems and emotional difficulties but positively related to prosocial behavior. In general, empathy mediated the link between peer attachment and both emotional and behavioral outcomes, without significant group differences between boys and girls. The discussion focuses on the importance of healthy peer relationships as a powerful predictor of emotional well-being and psychological problems in adolescence.

“…For boys and girls alike, deviant peers and other social influences are the leading risk factors for adolescent drug abuse (Catalano, Haggerty, Hawkins, & Elgin, 2011;Van Ryzin, Fosco, & Dishion, 2012). Affiliation with drug using peers has long been a robust predictor of drug use (Fergusson, Swain-Campbell, &Horwood, 2002;Lee, Padilla-Walker, & Memmott-Elison, 2017). Effective prevention programming, therefore, must provide instruction to youth on the skills required to navigate the risks associated with these peer influences.…”

Introduction: Rates of drug use among early adolescent girls meet or exceed rates of their male counterparts. Girls are also vulnerable to differential risk factors for drug use. Yet, expressly designed prevention programs targeting this population are absent. The present study reports 2and 3-year findings on a web-based drug abuse prevention program for adolescent girls. Methods: A sample of adolescent girls (N = 788) were recruited via Facebook. Online, all girls completed pretests; girls were randomly assigned to a 9-session intervention arm or to a measurement-only control arm and all girls completed posttests. All girls also completed 1-, 2-, and 3-year follow-up measurements. Results: At 2-year follow-up and compared to girls in the control arm, intervention-arm girls reported less past-month cigarette, marijuana, and "other' drug use (club drugs, cocaine, ecstasy, hallucinogens, heroin, inhalants, methamphetamines, steroids, prescription drugs), lower rates of peer drug use, and increased scores on drug refusal skills, coping skills, self-esteem, media literacy, and self-efficacy. At 3-year follow-up, and compared to girls in the control arm, intervention-arm girls reported less past-month cigarette and e-cigarette use, lower rates of peer drug use, lower reported anxiety and stress, and increased scores on drug refusal skills, selfesteem, media literacy, self-efficacy, and body image. Conclusions: Longitudinal outcome data lend support to the efficacy of a gender-specific, webbased drug abuse prevention program to reduce adolescent girls' drug use rates and associated risk factors.

“…Prosocial variables is affected by other factors that are not included in this study, for example self-efficacy (Caprara & Steca, 2005) and also the concept of self (Ingles, Martinez-Gonzalez, Garcia-Fernandez, Torregrosa, & Ruiz-Esteban, 2012). In addition, factors that affect someone who behaves prosocial also come from outside oneself, such as parenting styles (Llorca, Richaud, & Malonda, 2017) and also the influence of peers (Lee, Padilla-Walker, & Memmott-Elison, 2017).…”

The research on self-compassion and prosocial behavior showed a significant positive relationship. But there are also studies showed that there is no significant relationship between self-compassion and prosocial behavior. Agreeableness has a positive and significant relationship with self-compassion and prosocial. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between self-compassion and prosocial behavior mediated by agreeableness. This research is a quantitative research with 184 subjects from Batu 1 State Vocational School aged 15-18 years. The instruments used were Self Compassion Scale -Short Form (SCS-SF), Prosocial Behavior Scale, and Big Five Inventory. Analysis of the data used is mediated multiple regression in SPSS 21. The results of statistical analysis show the value of the relationship of self-compassion, agreeableness and prosocial β = .082; p = .258 and a significant indirect relationship coefficient β = .118; z = 3.39; p = .00. These results mean that there is an indirect relationship between self-compassion and prosocial, which is mediated by agreeablenes. It can be concluded that agreeableness can be a mediator in the relationship between self-compassion and prosocial.
