Objective: To report and discuss the experience of the Circle of Culture in a school space, with attention to the social identity of adolescents. Method: Action research, conducted under the assumptions of the Circle of Culture, from August to December 2019. Participants were 16 adolescents, enrolled in Elementary School, in a state public school, in the rural district of a city of São Paulo. Data collection took place through photographic records, participant observation and field diary. Results: The relations of friendship were the central agenda of the Circles of Culture when dialogues about their structuring and influence on the identity construction were developed. Conclusion: Circles of Culture mediated by health professionals in the school setting have the power to problematize the reality of each adolescent’s life and, simultaneously, dialogue about the common, an aspect that empowers identity projects.

“…In the literature concerning school dropout and its influence on engaging in deviant behaviour, it is noted that, to the best of the researcher’s knowledge, there is a lack of studies conducted in this area in India. However, ample research has been conducted on adolescent and youth deviant behaviour worldwide (see Akers and Cochran, 1985; Chen et al , 2021; Huang et al , 2023; Ma et al , 2023). A study by Damron-Bell (2011) showed that gender, ethnicity and age were all significant predictors of engaging in risky behaviour, with males engaging in such behaviour more frequently than females, whites engaging in such behaviour more frequently than racial and ethnic minorities and older students engaging in such behaviour more frequently than younger students.…”

Purpose This paper aims to measure the prevalence of deviant behaviour among children who have dropped out of school and their subsequent arrests by the criminal justice system. The paper further analyses the relationship between the factors attributed to deviant behaviour and the subsequent arrests by the criminal justice system. Design/methodology/approach Using a semi-structured interview schedule, data was collected from 330 children who had already dropped out of school, remained on the streets or worked. The interviews took place in the presence of either of the children’s parents, with their consent. Findings The research identified 12 significant factors contributing to children dropping out of school. It also found six factors responsible for deviant behaviour. Furthermore, the study revealed that about 70% of the respondents were involved in one or more deviant behaviours. Among them, 51% had been detained by the Police in the past two years. Additionally, the linear regression model results positively predict the nexus among the six factors responsible for deviant behaviour. Research limitations/implications The study is limited to male children who had dropped out of school, as female children were excluded. In connection with measuring deviant behaviour, it was challenging to discern whether it occurred before students left school, after or both. Practical implications The study suggests several measures, including policies such as early intervention programmes, providing quality education, mentoring and counselling for students and parents, vocational education opportunities, creating drug-free environments, career guidance, peer mentoring, community engagement, substance abuse prevention and rehabilitation programmes, to prevent school dropout and subsequent deviant behaviour. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is unique to India. The moderation regression model represents an exceptional finding. This study constitutes another addition to the field of child welfare while also indicating scope for future research.

“…This may have a negative impact on children’s self-schema ( Mcleod et al, 2007 ) and psychological autonomy ( Oudekerk et al, 2015 ). As a result, the child may become overly compliant in their peer interactions and may even become a victim of bullying ( Chen et al, 2021 ). Research has shown that parental psychological control predicts a negative impact on children’s friendship quality, resulting in increased levels of loneliness ( Soenens et al, 2008 ).…”

BackgroundPeer interactions are critical to young children’s social development, and proximal-system has a direct influence on personal growth. The study aims to analyze the relationship between parental psychological control and young children’s peer interactions, as well as the moderating role of teachers’ emotional support in this association.MethodsA total of 241 children aged 3–6 years, alongside their parents, and 27 teachers, participated in the study. Teachers reported children’s peer interactions whilst parents reported their psychological control. The level of teachers’ emotional support was co-coded by two researchers.ResultsThe results of the study indicated that parental psychological control was significantly and negatively related to young children’s peer interactions; teachers’ emotional support was significantly and positively related to young children’s peer interactions; the cross-level moderating effect validates our hypothesis that teachers’ emotional support has a moderating effect between parental psychological control and young children’s peer interactions, buffering the impact of parental psychological control on young children’s peer interactions.ConclusionThese findings expand our comprehension of the association between parental psychological control, teachers’ emotional support, and young children’s peer interactions, and provide guidance for integrating the components of the proximal system and devising interventions to establish a home-school harmony environment that fosters children’s social development.
