Social and educational psychology have been concerned with analysing the variables that are both associative and predictive of adolescents' academic achievement as high achievement is believed to indicate excellent performance in school and promote better opportunities for selection of preferred academic specializations and subsequent career selection. This longitudinal study was designed to determine the magnitude of the variables in predicting their achievements. Proposed model and competing model in this longitudinal study had consistently illuminated career aspiration as a more dynamic variable, both as a predictor and as a mediator between career-related construct and academic achievement. This study provides implications that schools, counsellors, teachers and parents can exert a powerful influence on the career development of adolescents as the school is believed to be the most important venue where students learn to bridge education and the world of work. Parents can also encourage and support their adolescents' efforts to obtain good academic achievement by helping and supporting their career plan.

This volume focuses on concepts central to the understanding of the key features of individuality which undergo significant transformations throughout the adolescent period: Personality, self, and ego. While rooted in distinct theoretical traditions, these three concepts, in combination, capture the core aspects of the formation of the individual's unique sense of self or identity, a psychosocial development fundamentally associated with adolescence. Consistent with the developmental-systems models of person-context relations at the forefront of current human development theory and research, the articles within this volume focus on the dynamic, reciprocal relations between youth and key socializing agents within their ecologies. Nevertheless, the articles represented in this volume illustrate that when attempting to understand the development of personality- and self-systems, scholars differ in the extent to which they place primary emphasis on the individual, on the context, or on the relationship between the two.

Military-style residential programs such as Idaho Youth Challenge Academy (IDYCA) have been established to serve youth who are at-risk for dropping out or who have already dropped out of high school. This short-term longitudinal evaluative study extended prior basic and applied research conducted at the same program. This study examined psychosocial predictors and moderators of academic, behavioral, and mental health outcomes for adolescents enrolled at IDYCA. Hypotheses were informed by a review of relevant literature as well as focus groups and collaborative discussions with leadership and program staff at IDYCA. Baseline predictors included adverse childhood experiences (e.g., Bethell, Gombojav, Solloway, & Wissow, 2015) and prior justice involvement (e.g., APA, 2012; Robison et al., 2017). Risk factors included delinquent peer affiliations within the residential program (e.g., Monahan et al., 2009). Protective factors included increased support from caring adults during the residential program (e.g., Dong & Krohn, 2016). Outcomes included staff-reported behavioral infractions accrued during the residential program and overall academic performance (i.e., grade point average), as well as self-reported mental health symptoms. Findings highlighted juvenile justice involvement as a historical risk factor for poorer institutional adjustment and academic success at IDYCA. Most importantly, the adverse effects of justice contact on behavioral adjustment were attenuated for youth who developed supportive relationships with adult staff at IDYCA. In post hoc analyses, mental health symptoms experienced during IDYCA exacerbated the adverse effects of prior justice involvement on behavioral infractions. It is hoped that this research could inform the regular and repeated use of mental health screeners and sound questionnaires to identify youth who may feel less supported and/or who have developed new or worsened mental health symptoms during the residential program. These findings may also inform referral for additional behavioral interventions and mental health services, program development, and future evaluative research at comparable residential programs.

A historical perspective of adjustment problems of adolescents helps to place todays adolescents in proper focus as records concerning the status of adolescents and education across the countries have been pieced together. Since prehistoric days the status of an adolescent in society has been varied with the cultural concept of how a young person should be prepared to assume adult responsibilities though he has been formally studied for a brief span only since the beginning of the present century.

This book provides a fresh approach to studies on adolescents with visual impairment. It threads through the three elements of disability (visual impairment), psychosocial development of adolescents, and their educational achievement. It highlights how these concepts traverse across and cast an irrefutable impact on each other. The author prepares the ground by highlighting the failure of existing theories of disability studies in addressing issues concerning adolescents. She further critiques the psycho-medical approach to disability which undermines or disregards its social construction. The book provides an analysis of numerous issues affecting the psychosocial development of adolescents with visual impairment, which is further validated through narratives in educational settings. It also strongly advocates the need to create awareness about the basic ethics of human relationships and rights, moral consciousness and social and civic responsibilities, which can play a vital role in ensuring healthy psychosocial development of adolescents with visual impairment, and in ensuring inclusion.
