Summary: This qualitative study explored the adaptation of youth to imprisonment by examining their daily experiences and close relationships from a deprivation theory perspective. The findings revealed that incarcerated youth faced social deprivation factors such as stigma and discrimination, estrangement from peers, longing for family, and forming closer relationships with siblings and parents through family visits. They viewed non-parental adults in prison as crucial sources of financial, social, and emotional support, and referred to their newly established peer relationships as kinship. However, prison staff held negative attitudes towards youth, families, and peers, interpreting the youth's close relationships as toxic and blaming families for their suffering. They perceived the youth's new relationships with peers and non-parental adults as 'deviancy training'.

Summary: Research highlights the challenges faced by care leavers in achieving educational success, despite their academic achievements.

It is important to consider structural and systemic issues that contribute to lower educational attainment, rather than solely focusing on individual successes.

Summary: This study examined the abilities of parents and non-parents to recognize sexual grooming behaviors, and found that the overall sample was more likely to recognize sexual grooming when presented with behaviors from all stages of the Sexual Grooming Model or behaviors related to desensitization to touch and sexual content. There was a discrepancy between participant confidence in their recognition abilities and their actual measured abilities, highlighting the need for targeted educational efforts to increase awareness in behaviors that may be indicative of abuse.

Summary: Research on the challenges faced by child protection social workers (CPSWs) has increased in developed nations, but there is limited knowledge about the role of CPSWs in supporting vulnerable children in sub-Saharan Africa. This study conducted in-depth interviews with certified social workers in Nigeria and found that their primary responsibilities include providing essential remedial services for children. However, they face challenges such as limited resources, resistant children, shortages of social workers, and high caseloads.

Summary: This study examined 1186 individual case reports from Child Fatality Review Boards and found that only a small number of reports provided sufficient information on the major factors contributing to child fatalities. The findings suggest the need for federal intervention to establish unified guidelines and reporting procedures across states in order to develop a comprehensive national database.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and positive childhood experiences (PCEs) with mental health outcomes in college students. The findings support the hypotheses that ACEs predict poorer mental health outcomes, while PCEs predict better mental health outcomes and mitigate the negative effects of ACEs. The study underscores the importance of promoting PCEs and preventing ACEs for long-term mental health in college students.

The study reveals that police officers not only experience primary victimization but also secondary victimization. However, the progress in this field is hindered by a lack of recent studies and diverse research approaches.

Summary: Research has found a link between emotion regulation strategies and child mental health, but it is unclear how the characteristics of children may moderate this link. This study discovered that environmental sensitivity moderates the relationship between emotion regulation strategies (cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression) and children's emotional and behavioral problems. Expressive suppression predicts more problems for girls regardless of their sensitivity level, while for boys, the association between suppression usage and emotional and behavioral problems is stronger among those with higher environmental sensitivity.

Summary: The experience of childhood cancer can lead to long-term emotional responses such as posttraumatic stress symptoms and posttraumatic growth in survivors. Assessing challenges to core beliefs and rumination can provide insights into the different pathways that lead to traumatic responses. This study found that challenge to core beliefs was the central point in the relationship between variables and had a direct and positive relationship with posttraumatic growth. The relationship between posttraumatic stress symptoms and posttraumatic growth was mediated by challenge to core beliefs and deliberative and intrusive rumination.

Summary: The presence of grandparents in raising grandchildren is increasingly common worldwide, but research on the impact of grandparenting in the family system is limited. This study found that the sensitivity of grandparents plays a moderating role in parent-child interactions, enhancing children's positive affect. In addition, higher grandparental sensitivity has a stronger effect in boosting children's positive affect when parental sensitivity is high.

Summary: This study employed a multi-method approach to investigate how mothers of preschool-aged children actively socialize complex emotions. The results found that maternal awareness of emotion and emotion coaching strategies were correlated with the use of emotion words and behavioral expressions of emotion during a storytelling task. These findings suggest that maternal meta-emotion philosophies have an implicit influence on emotion socialization in natural settings.
