“…One of the Dimitrova et al. () findings concurs with those of the other three studies: Familial identity was found to be strongly linked to well‐being in all Roma groups. Again, this shows that being able to rely on a positive interpersonal context is adaptive for development.…”

“…Dimitrova et al. () present two remarkable findings on the salience (personal importance) of ethnic identity. First, they show that ethnic identity is not the most salient identity domain in Roma adolescents; familial identity is more important for them, and religious identity about as important.…”

“…Dimitrova et al. () found ethic identity to be as important as national and religious identity, and relatively low as compared to familial identity in Roma middle adolescents in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Kosovo, and Romania. More importantly, however, they found ethnic identity to be negatively or not linked to well‐being in Bulgaria and Kosovo, and the Czech Republic and Romania, respectively.…”

Key findings from the various studies of this special section of Child Development are that ethnic identity is embedded in a positive proximal interpersonal context in adolescence and that the links between ethnic identity and the interpersonal context seem to become stronger from the beginning of early adolescence on. Remarkably, the (longitudinal) studies do not show that ethnic identity is a better predictor of developmental outcomes or that it can be better predicted in minority groups than in majority groups. I use one of the articles to demonstate that a longitudinal prediction model is different from a developmental sequence model. Finally, an extension of the present measures of ethnic identity is proposed. This extension would allow for a thorough investigation of the saliency of ethnic identity and its interplay with other identity domains during adolescent development.

The study of religious engagement in adolescence examines the extent to which individuals benefit (or do not benefit) from their commitment to a set of religious beliefs, participation in religious behaviors, and sense of belonging to a religious group. Current research has documented positive benefits of religious engagement, with greater self‐esteem and psychological well‐being as well as lower levels of engagement in violent and other risky behaviors. However, high or low levels of religiosity on the part of an adolescent can result in being discriminated against and/or ostracized if those levels of religiosity are not shared by those around them (i.e., their peers, parents, and community).

Scoping literature review of well‐being of students at school: Implications for designing evidence‐based interventions

This paper reviews the literature to clarify the image of a student with a high level of well‐being (WB) for a future systematic literature review and evidence‐based interventions to promote student WB. It presents a holistic approach to the analysis of definitions, operationalisation and indicators with interpretative phenomenological analyses (IPA). The main question of the paper is what image of student WB can be constructed from the components and indicators of WB that have been highlighted in the literature. Overall, 50 publications were coded before the subjectively evaluated saturation was reached and 641 mentions of the different components of WB were coded that were distributed among seven categories: ‘individual psychological indicators’ (319 units), ‘social contacts, relationships’ (136 units), ‘health’ (78 units), ‘school life’ (63 units), ‘standard of living’ (26 units), ‘spirituality, moral competence, values’ (12 units) and ‘general mentions’ of WB (7 units). It is argued that individual psychological state, quality of relationships, health, school‐related features, objective indicators, and moral and spiritual aspects are features of students with a high level of WB. The implications for further research, practical usage and the limitations of the study are offered in the Discussion section.Context and implicationsRationale for this studyDeveloping high levels of student WB is an important aim of schools, but for it to be something more than just a declaration, some measures should be taken. To be effective, such measures should be based on scientific knowledge. This paper reviews the literature for future practical application.Why the new findings matterThe research field of WB is diverse. Mostly, for evidence‐based measures, one specific approach to WB is used. This paper argues that it is important to look holistically at all theories of WB as they present different facets of one holistic construct.Implications for practitioners and policy makersThis paper will be useful for practitioners and policy makers as it provides both a scientific section where data, methods and results are presented, and an interpretation of the information for practical usage. It provides a wide range of data and covers several theories of WB and the operationalisation of WB and shows from which indexes these theories and operationalisations originate and why.
