A developmental cascade model of early emotional and social competence predicting later peer acceptance was examined in a community sample of 440 children across the ages of 2 to 7.
Survey data from a larger prospective study were utilized to examine how emotion regulation influenced externalizing behaviors of children over time and whether children’s social skills influenced peer ratings of acceptance.
Previous research indicates that suicidal ideation is higher among military-connected youth than non military-connected youth. This study extends prior work by examining suicidal ideation, plans, and attempts in military-connected and non military-connected adolescents.
Using data from students in 9th and 11th grades in California schools who completed the California Healthy Kids Survey in 2012-2013, researchers compared the rates of suicidal thoughts and behavior between military-connected and civilian students.
