“It's like all of his attention is on you”: A mixed methods examination of attachment, supportive nonparental youth–adult relationships, and self‐esteem during adolescence
AbstractThe purpose of this mixed methods study was to examine the relationship between attachment, supportive nonparental youth ‐adult relationships, and self‐esteem during adolescence. First, in a quantitative path analysis, we found that perceived social support from nonparental adults partially mediated the relationship between adolescent attachment and self‐esteem. In our follow‐up mixed methods analysis, we anal yzed youth reflections of support experienced in relationships with significant non‐parental adults (VIPs). As compared to youth with positive attachment models, youth with negative attachment model...

“We make a direct impact on people's lives”: Youth empowerment in the context of a youth‐led participatory budgeting project
AbstractParticipatory budgeting [PB] is a democratic process whereby community members determine how to spend governmental funds. Youth ‐led PB is relatively new, occurring in select U.S. cities.

Birds of a feather: Is matching based on shared interests and characteristics associated with longer youth mentoring relationships?
AbstractYouth mentoring practitioners and researchers have shown a growing interest in determining the ways in which mentor –youth matching practices might influence the duration and effectiveness of mentoring relationships. The current project tested whether mentor–youth similarities at baseline, in terms of demographic variables and interests in certain activities (e.g., sports, art), predicted a longer duration of mentoring relationships. Analyses used baseline and follow‐up data from over 9,000 youth who participated in community‐based mentoring programs in the northeastern United States, as well as their volun...

AbstractThe study examines the association between sense of place (SOP) attitudes (e.g., place attachment, place identity, and place dependence) and health ‐related quality of life (HQOL) in a sample of 261 African residents in New South Wales (Australia). Participants completed measures of the Sense of Place Scale, the World Health Organization Quality of Life‐BREF questionnaire, and demographic variables. Study findings are as follows: (a) levels of SOP and place attachment are positively associated with all outcomes of HQOL; (b) place identity is also positively related to HQOL in terms of better environmental healt...
