This study uses a cross-lagged panel network model with a sample of 4,333 children (Mage = 11.06, SD = 0.73; 50.8% girls at T1) to examine the relationship between loneliness and depressive symptoms over a two-year period. The cross-sectional network shows that loneliness is strongly associated with sadness, perceived parental pressure, and boredom...

International prospective register of systematic reviews: A meta-analysis of the relationship between position in the peer network and loneliness among school-age children and adolescents

Challenges that schools face in relation to social cohesion include the need to minimise the impact of students’ social background on their educational career and ensuring that the public school is a place of contact between children from different social groups and class. Research supporting local policy in this area should therefore monitor the s...

Previous research shows that deficits in social relationships increase the risk of depression. This study tests the hypothesis that among early adolescents, their status in their peer network (likeability/dislikeability) will be associated with depressive symptoms but only indirectly, through the subjective perception of this status (positive/negat...

Research suggests that primary school teachers grade the reading and writing skills of girls higher than of boys, even when they have the same level of ability. In this article, we try to verify this hypothesis. We analysed (a) teachers’ grades (prepared particularly for the purpose of this research), and (b) achievement test results, which control...
