What Do Peers Think About Sexting?

A study from the University of Gothenburg examined the content of injunctive peer norms (i.e., perceived peer approval) of sexting among Swedish adolescents. A substantial share of adolescents believed their peers approve of sexting, especially if sexting occurs within trusted relationships and when all parties have consented. A large share of adolescents also described that peers were non-accepting of sexting, emphasizing that it can be spread to others. Participants also suggested that sexting is seen as a gendered phenomenon surrounded by sexual double standards, with young women at more risk of negative consequences.

What Makes Us Human? How Minds Develop Through Social Interactions

Just how social we are as a species is made even more evident by the COVID-19 lockdowns that have restricted our everyday social interactions and affected our physical and mental health. Social engagement influences us at an even more fundamental level because it is crucial to the formation of human thinking and minds. Jeremy Carpendale and Charlie Lewis address this issue in What Makes Us Human? How Minds Develop Through Social Interactions.

Opinion: We Are Leaving Fathers Out of This Important Discussion

This article explores how traditional approaches to tackling child poverty often ignore fathers or even actively impede their involvement in their children's lives and urges federal agencies to actively and intentionally include fathers in family- and child-poverty services.

TOOLS YOU CAN USE

How to Ask About Abuse

Of course, one should always be suspicious of abuse if a friend or loved one shows up with unexplained injuries—bruises, bandages or broken bones. But abuse is often times nonphysical. Verbal, emotional and psychological abuse can be just as damaging as physical injuries, but leave no marks.

What is Your Dating Personality?

Many people want to fall in love and find intimacy. But that can be tricky to manage. Potential daters are faced with swipe-left-or-right dating apps that give an abundance of choice without guidance on how to make wise decisions or develop a meaningful relationship with someone. Add to that the myths surrounding love—like we all have a “soulmate” out there we just need to find—and the task can seem daunting.

Support Emotional Development in Teens

Teens often experience stronger emotions during puberty. This is because the part of their brain that experiences emotions develops rapidly during adolescence. They are also wired to take some risks to maximize their exposures and experiences. As teens grow older and mature, they develop the skills needed to handle new challenges. However, they still need support and guidance from parents and trusted adults in their journey towards adulthood.

Youth Relationship Education Research & Practice Priorities

Highlights from the Marriage Strengthening Research and Dissemination Center

Relationship education programs geared towards adolescents and young adults attempt to shape goals and behaviors in current and future relationships. To maximize the effectiveness of these programs, youth-focused relationship education programs need to be implemented in a way that considers the age and developmental stage of participants and draws on the strengths that youth bring to programming. Further, as marriage and family formation shifts toward older ages, more research is needed on how youth are thinking about and engaging in relationships.

This webinar will highlight work conducted by the Marriage Strengthening Research and Dissemination Center that explores youth relationship attitudes, expectations, and experiences and how relationship education programs can tailor programming for youth, based on a positive youth development framework. A specific application of integrating positive youth development with youth relationship education programming will be discussed with a presentation from Desiree W. Murray, developer of the Be Calm Connections program. Priorities for future research and practice will also be discussed.

Objectives:

Webinar participants will be able to:

Describe adolescent and young adult relationship attitudes, expectations, and experiences.
Learn about the role of positive youth development in the design and implementation of youth relationship education programs.
Identify priorities for future research and practice related to youth relationship education.

Presenters: Mindy E. Scott, Ph.D. and Desiree W. Murray, Ph.D., Marriage Strengthening Research and Dissemination Center

Who should attend: Program managers, counselors, educators, practitioners, and anyone interested in working with youth.

When: Wednesday, June 9, 2021, 4:00 pm Eastern/1:00 pm Pacific

Duration: 60 minutes

Cost: Free!
