“…Pubertal timing leads to prevalent psychological crises and disorders. 38 Another reason for the increasing behavioural difficulties in eighth and ninth grade is that middle school students in Vietnam have suffered more psychological difficulties in academic activity, 39 and senior students face more complex and more significant problems as they advance in their education.…”

Background In recent decades, a high prevalence of mental health problems among adolescents has been reported worldwide. In Vietnam, mental health problems such as emotional and behavioural difficulties are relatively common in the adolescent age group. Objective This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of emotional-behavioural problems and prosocial behaviours in Vietnamese adolescents and identify the role of social support in these adolescents’ strengths and difficulties. Methods A population sample of 582 adolescents from sixth to ninth grade from four secondary schools in Vietnam voluntarily participated by completing the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (α = .64) and the Social Support Scale (α = .90). Results The research results revealed that Vietnamese adolescents suffered from considerable levels of emotional-behavioural difficulties and prosocial behaviour problems. Through multible regression analysis, support from their families significantly predicted to decrease students’ emotional and behavioural symptoms (β< 0; p< .05) and increasing prosocial behaviours (β> 0; p < .05). In contrast, friend support only contribute to protecting adolescents from behavioural problems (β = -.18; p < .05) and encouraged prosocial behaviours (β = .22; p < .05) Discussion Family support had a central role in its positive contribution to reducing emotional-behavioural and prosocial behaviour problems. Friend support only decreased behavioural problems and encouraged prosocial behaviours. These results are interpreted that educators could limit adolescents’ emotional-behavioural difficulties and encourage prosocial behaviours through social support from their families and friends.

Background Teachers' professional identity plays a critical role in shaping educational environments, particularly through its influence on teacher-student relationships and students' psychological resilience. Although the connection between professional identity and these factors is established, the indirect effect of professional identity on student resilience—mediated by teacher-student relationships and moderated by teachers' life satisfaction—has not been fully explored. This study investigates the impact of novice teachers' professional identity on seventh-grade students' psychological resilience, focusing on the mediating role of teacher-student relationships and the moderating effect of teachers' life satisfaction. Methods Data were collected from 69 novice teachers and 2,147 students across 10 middle schools in China. The study employed Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) to analyze the direct and indirect effects of teachers' professional identity on students' psychological resilience, accounting for the nested data structure. Results The analysis revealed that a strong professional identity among novice teachers significantly enhances students' psychological resilience, primarily through the improvement of teacher-student relationships. However, the expected moderating effect of teachers' life satisfaction was not supported, possibly due to the uniformly high levels of life satisfaction among the participants. Conclusion These results underscore the importance of fostering a strong professional identity in novice teachers to cultivate positive teacher-student relationships, which are crucial for enhancing students' psychological resilience. The study offers valuable insights for educational policies and interventions aimed at supporting teacher development and improving student outcomes during the critical transition to middle school.
