“…Peer and teacher support can also play an important role in the psychological adaptation of victims of bullying (Baker, Grant, & Morlock, 2008; Chong, Huan, Quek, Yeo, & Ang, 2010; D’Urso, Petruccelli, & Pace, 2018). For example, adolescents who perceive their teachers as supportive and involved are less likely to exhibit atypical behaviors at school and thus become easy targets for bullies (Berzonsky, 2004; Brausch & Decker, 2014; Gini, Marino, Pozzoli, & Holt, 2018; Kordi & Baharudin, 2010; Marshall, Parker, Ciarrochi, & Heaven, 2014; Pace, D’Urso, & Zappulla, 2018). Furthermore, support from teachers for adolescents to learn and feel good about themselves in classrooms, positively impacts adolescent psychosocial development and functioning (Bonaiuto et al, 2019; Kelly & Antonio, 2016; Muijs & Reynolds, 2017; Muscarà, Pace, Passanisi, D’Urso, & Zappulla, 2018; Oldenburg et al, 2015; Siyahhan, Aricak, & Cayirdag-Acar, 2012) and this can ameliorate the negative impact of being bullied (Murray-Harvey, Slee, & Taki, 2010; Orpinas & Horne, 2006).…”

In the current study, we investigated the developmental dynamics between positive youth development, being bullied in adolescence, gender, and sociocultural risk factors. Participants were 3,509 males (49%) and 3,656 females (51%) studied longitudinally across the ages of 9, 13, and 17 years in the Growing Up in Ireland study. Using structural equation modeling, we discovered that being bullied in early adolescence was most strongly predicted by having fewer close friends, higher family poverty, and living in neighborhoods with higher levels of disorder. However, the social disadvantage of a young person’s school did not impact being bullied. More positive reports of connection and caring in early adolescence were negatively predicted by neighborhood disorder and family poverty, and being female had positive association with relationships with teachers. Developing confidence, competence, and character in late adolescence was notably related to having fewer experiences of family trauma and transitions in childhood and to having higher levels of rapport with parents in early adolescence. The results highlight the importance of studying relationships and psychological development in sociocultural context.

“…Intrusive and manipulative parental control inhibits the development of decision-making skills, increasing vulnerability to sexual risky behaviors (Cummings, Davies, & Campbell, 2000). Furthermore, overcontrolling parenting can exacerbate problem behaviors and relational difficulties of adolescents (Pace, D’Urso, & Zappulla, 2018a, 2018b). In contrast, positive family climates, characterized by warmth, support, and good parent–child communication, predict positive adolescent outcomes (Baumrind, 1995).…”

Online exchange of sexual content (“sexting”) is associated with potentially negative consequences, especially for girls. We investigated possible associations between family functioning and girls’ sexting. Italian teenage girls ( N = 250; Mage = 16.36 years; SDage = 1.88) completed online surveys that evaluated family functioning (communication, flexibility, cohesion, disengagement, chaos, enmeshment, and rigidity) and five sexting behaviors: (a) engaging in sexting, (b) sexting with a partner, (c) number of people with whom girls share sexts, (d) nonconsensual forwarding of sexts, and (e) sexting for emotion regulation. We found that engaging in sexting, sexting for emotion regulation, and the number of people with whom girls share sexts were predicted by age and low family communication. Sexting with a partner was predicted by age and high flexibility, and nonconsensual forwarding of sexts was positively predicted by enmeshment.

“…Subsequently, the data suggested that the two forms of parental psychological control may also be risk factors related to the two dimensions of sensation seeking. In this sense, the frustration of needs may translate into adolescence with a search for strong feelings, as well as with the adoption of uninhibited and high-risk behavior (Pace et al 2018b;. Therefore, excessive parental psychological control can produce responses to dysfunctional behaviors.…”

We aimed to investigate the relationship between homophobic bullying, parental psychological control and sensation seeking among adolescents and young adults and to examine the mediating role of sensation seeking. The participants included 394 adolescents and young adults aged 15 to 20 years attending the 3rd, 4th and 5th years of two public high schools in Italian cities. Participants completed the Homophobic Bullying Scale, the Dependency—oriented and Achievement—oriented Parental Psychological Control, and the Sensation—Seeking Scale. The results showed that parental psychological control predicted bullying toward gay and lesbian people. However, the two dimensions of sensation seeking (thrill and adventure seeking, and disinhibition) represented two mediators in the relationship between parental psychological control, both achievement and dependency—oriented, and homophobic bullying.
