School satisfaction is a critical indicator of well-being for every child and adolescent. Yet studies have rarely investigated whether school satisfaction varies depending upon participant characteristics and school-related social factors. Here we investigated whether disability and gender moderate adolescents' self-report of school satisfaction. We also explored the role of mediating variables such as teacher support, parent support, and relationships with peers (including friendships and also bullying). Our analysis of data from 3,830 adolescents revealed a significant interaction between disability and gender. GDisabled girls with disabilities reported the lowest school satisfaction, an effect which appeared to be more strongly mediated by perceived lack of teacher support than other variables. Our findings are novel in disaggregating school satisfaction data by both disability and gender to revealand showing a striking interaction between these variables and in investigating the role of mediating variables relating to school-related social factors. Impact and ImplicationsSchool satisfaction is vital for well-being yet we know little about how school satisfaction varies depending upon participant characteristics and school-related social factors. Our analysis of 3,830 adolescents has revealed a striking interaction between disability and gender in self-reported school satisfaction. GDisabled girls with disabilities report the lowest satisfaction, an effect that appears to be more strongly mediated by teacher support than parent support or peer experiences.

“…The contact between two different cultures results in cultural and psychological changes. However, research shows that socially integrated communities stand best in terms of mental health, while the marginalized groups are the least happy (Redmond, Huynh, & Maurici, 2018). Positive acculturation has also been defined in terms of mental, physical and psychological health as well as high self-esteem.…”

Objectives: The purpose of this literature review was to highlight the studies on mental health in relation to acculturation and ethnic identity and to identify research gaps. The results can be used to help inform future immigrant mental health workers and policy makers as well as provide information about the implications of immigrant mental health. Methods: The literature search was conducted electronically, directed by a variety of key words. The search focused on five areas of immigrant mental health importance: (1) acculturation; (2) acculturation and mental health; (3) ethnic identity; (4) ethnic identity and mental health; and (5) acculturation, ethnic identity and mental health. A total of 171 articles were examined and 110 were included in the review. Results: The information is presented in the following categories: acculturation; acculturation and mental health; ethnic identity; ethnic identity and mental health; and acculturation, ethnic identity and mental health. Research gaps are also presented. Conclusion: Overall, literature shows that acculturation, ethnic identity and mental health are closely related to one another affecting both, individuals and communities. This literature review will help to better inform practitioners who may encounter immigrants experiencing mental health issues due to acculturation and ethnic identity pressure. This review may also help policy makers identify specific obstacles that are not addressed in immigration policies which can affect the implementation of these policies. In addition, the information presented can be used as an instrument for researchers in the field. Despite the limited amount of information about immigrant mental health challenges, much work remains to fully support the affected individuals and their families.

“…Most women who chose activism as a path in their adolescence talked about having accumulated different kinds of injustices due to their marginalized status in society (e.g., for being a woman and an ethnic minority, or for being a lesbian woman). The well-being gap between marginalized youth and privileged youth is well established in the literature (e.g., Brooks-Gunn, Duncan, & Maritato, 1999;Redmond, Huynh, & Maurici, 2016). Reliance on peers and admired adults for confirmation of one's identity was identified by developmental theorists Erikson (1968) and Sullivan (1968) as crucial adolescent processes.…”

We examined pathways to activism, focusing on the narratives of women's rights activists who grew up in different places and times, using interview transcripts from the Global Feminisms Project archive. The findings reveal that experiencing a socially or personally disruptive event (e.g., a war or loss of a daughter due to domestic violence, respectively) facilitated activism at different stages of life in unique ways; and there were specific catalysts for activism for each stage. Those who grew up under oppressive regimes thought activism was the most "natural" response to what was going on sociopolitically; for them, feelings of freedom and strength were the catalyst. Those who experienced a disruptive event in their adolescence viewed their activism as intertwined with their personal identity; for them, love, support and togetherness were the catalyst. Finally, those who experienced disruption in their adulthood viewed their activism not as identity, but simply as action. They made sense of these actions by tracing the continuity in their lives; and for them, small political acts and accomplishments were the catalyst. The relationship between politicized identity and personal identity, as well as the bidirectional relationship between activist involvement and politicized identity is discussed in light of these findings.
