The moderating effects of prosocial behaviour, friendship quality and social problem solving in the relationship between risk factors and peer victimization in Colombian early adolescents.

The current series of three studies was designed to use the “buffering hypothesis” model to assess the relative buffering effectiveness of positive peer experiences and personal characteristics in the association between risk factors and peer victimization in a sample of 623 Colombian early adolescents. These longitudinal studies assessed the extent to which changes in victimization varied as a function of the interaction between risk factors and positive peer and personal experiences. Using structural equation modeling techniques, the results provide evidence that reveals the specificities of the protective effects of each of the moderators. Results from Study 1 supported previous findings by revealing a significant change on children’s victimization scores across the school year. More specifically, it was found that students experienced a decline on their victimization scores over the school year, and that this decline was especially strong for the students who had the highest levels of victimization at the beginning of the year. Similarly, results from Study 1 showed that both aggression and avoidance were predictive of initial scores on peer victimization, however, only avoidance was found to predict the ways in which children change over the school year. The buffering effectiveness of prosocial behaviour was also tested in this study. It was found that prosociality acts as a buffer only for highly relationally aggressive children at the beginning of the school year, and for highly avoidant children across the school year. Study 2 examined the moderating effect of positive provisions of friendship in the association between aggression, avoidance and peer victimization over time. Contrary to our expectations, results showed that for relationally aggressive students, having a high quality friendship predicted an increase on their victimization scores over time. In contrast, for highly avoidant children friendships were protective against risk of peer victimization. Finally, Study 3 examined how social problem solving skills impacted the relationship between risk factors and peer victimization over time. Only a main effect of this variable was found at the beginning of the year; no moderating effects emerged in the analyses. Results from all studies supported the buffering hypothesis model by providing evidence that the protective effect of positive peer experiences and personal characteristics is especially effective for children who are considered to be at-risk

The Study of Sex, Gender, and Relationships with Peers: A Full or Empty Experience?

Studies of friendship, sex, and gender come in many forms and address a set of questions that are as broad as the study of friendship itself. The papers in this special issue reveal gender differences in the features, processes, and outcomes related to friendship. This commentary aims to place these papers within the broader literature on peer relations. We show that each of these studies is just a beginning, however, as basic points about the origins and meanings of sex and gender effects deserve further focus and scrutiny. Suggestions are offered to promote the further development of research on sex, gender, and relationships with peers

Survey Data on the Impact of COVID-19 on Parental Engagement Across 23 Countries

This data article describes the dataset of the International COVID-19 Impact on Parental Engagement Study (ICIPES). ICIPES is a collaborative effort of more than 20 institutions to investigate the ways in which, parents and caregivers built capacity engaged with children's learning during the period of social distancing arising from global COVID-19 pandemic. A series of data were collected using an online survey conducted in 23 countries and had a total sample of 4,658 parents/caregivers. The description of the data contained in this article is divided into two main parts. The first part is a descriptive analysis of all the items included in the survey and was performed using tables and figures. The second part refers to the construction of scales. Three scales were constructed and included in the dataset: ‘parental acceptance and confidence in the use of technology’, ‘parental engagement in children's learning’ and ‘socioeconomic status’. The scales were created using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Multi-Group Confirmatory Analysis (MG-CFA) and were adopted to evaluate their cross-cultural comparability (i.e., measurement invariance) across countries and within sub-groups. This dataset will be relevant for researchers in different fields, particularly for those interested in international comparative education
