Summary: This study examines the association between children's adjustment, social play behavior, and Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) program-liking in universal ECEC with the quality of student-teacher relationships and structural quality features of the classrooms they attend. The findings suggest that student-teacher closeness is positively associated with children's adjustment, ECEC liking, and social play behavior.

Summary: This study investigated the performance of three-to-five-year-old children on the how many and give-N tasks. The findings showed that children performed worse on give-N compared to how many, and this performance gap increased as the set size increased, even after controlling for counting skill. Confirmatory factor analyses revealed that each task provided task-specific variance, suggesting different aspects of children's understanding of cardinality.

Summary: Parents vary in the math support they provide, and this is related to their children's math knowledge. Parents' knowledge of early math topics, such as numeracy and repeating patterning, explains some of this variability. Their knowledge of early repeating patterning is related to their beliefs and support in this area, while their knowledge of early numeracy is related to their beliefs but not their support. Education and employment status predict parents' support in numeracy and repeating patterning. These findings have implications for research, theory, and interventions targeted at parents.

Summary: This study explored the impact of a group career construction counselling intervention on the career decision-making difficulties of Tanzanian students. Convenience and purposive sampling were used to select 35 participants from a single public school in Tanzania. The findings indicated that the intervention significantly improved the participants' career decision-making capacity, psychological selves, career adaptability, and ability to make informed career decisions. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies in different settings and consider interventions for students of different ages.

Summary: Cyberbullying is a recognized public health threat with established links to physical and mental health problems. A study found that loneliness, sleep disturbances, loss of appetite, sadness, lack of parental understanding, tobacco use, school absenteeism, and physical fights are associated factors. The primary goals of comprehensive cyberbullying prevention programs should be reducing sadness and loneliness, school absenteeism, and physical fights to protect the health and wellbeing of adolescents.

Summary: This study examined the effects of life design counseling on secondary students with career indecision in a resource-constrained community. The results showed that the intervention increased the students' curiosity, but did not lead to a decrease in career indecision. Further research with larger samples, diverse participants, and different designs and assessment measures is recommended to explore this topic.

Summary: This study explores the role of voice and agency in marital decision-making among adolescents in India and Nepal. Through the use of vignette-based surveys, it was found that higher scores in voice and agency were associated with lower support for early marriage, increased support for continued education post-marriage, and advocating against early sibling marriage.

Summary: This study examines the impact of mothers' education and employment status on children's education during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. Using data from the 2021 National Socio-Economic Survey (SUSENAS), with 2018 data for comparison, a logit regression analysis shows that mothers' education and employment status have a positive and significant effect on children's education across primary, junior secondary, and senior secondary levels. The study also finds that children are less likely to have access to education during the pandemic compared to normal conditions. The findings have implications for educational policies, including the development of informal educational programs and improving mothers' access to the labor market.

Summary: This study used cross-sectional data to examine the effects of contextual constraints, work volition, and career adaptability on decent work conditions among young adult social workers in Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou, China. The results showed that work volition mediated the relationship between contextual constraints and decent work conditions, and that career adaptability moderated the link between work volition and decent work conditions. Additionally, the indirect effect of contextual constraints on decent work conditions was weaker for individuals with higher levels of career adaptability. This study provides valuable insights for the well-being and career development of young adult social workers.

Summary: This study validates the Psychological Control Disrespect Scale (PCDS) for a broad age range of emerging adults, expanding its usage to late and post-adolescence population. The PCDS showed good model fit when used with emerging adults reporting on their mothers, and its psychometric properties were found to be equal across child's sex. The scale also demonstrated good reliability indexes and convergent validity against conceptually corresponding parenting scales.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between environmental citizenship and behavior among students at Syiah Kuala University in Indonesia, with spiritual norms serving as a mediator. A cross-sectional approach was used with a sample of 200 students from diverse majors. The results showed gender differences, with women displaying more consistent environmental behavior. Inferential statistics indicated that environmental citizenship influenced behavior both without and with spiritual norms as mediator variables. Therefore, this study highlighted the importance of spiritual norms as a mediator variable for the relationship between environmental citizenship and students' behavior.

Summary: Previous research has shown that parental support and monitoring play a crucial role in adolescents' social competence and self-esteem. However, the underlying mechanism of the associations among parental support, monitoring, and social initiative remains unclear. This study examines the role of self-esteem in the relationship between parental connection and social initiative among adolescents in mainland China. The results suggest that paternal connection influences social initiative through self-esteem, while maternal connection does not have a direct effect.
