Gender self-concept profiles of adolescents suspended from high school

Article Abstract:

Students suspended from school show low parent and school self-concepts but higher peer self-concepts, according to research considering whether adolescent students suspended from school have different multidimensional self-concept profiles from their age-specific peers. The multidimensional self-concept profiles of the students suspended from school show multi-deficiencies, including poor communication skills. This supports research indicating that antisocial behaviours are greater among students exposed to multiple risk factors. Girls were found to be more emotionally damaged and socially marginalized than boys by their antisocial behaviours.

School and neuropsychological performance of evacuated children in Kyiv 11 years after the Chornobyl disaster

Article Abstract:

An analysis of the possible effect of long-term stress from radiation exposure on cognitive functioning in 300 children from families evacuated to Kyiv, Ukraine, following the Chornobyl nuclear power plant accident in 1986 indicates that the evacuee children performed as well as their contemporaries in memory, attention and intelligence tests. This was also the case for children who were in utero at the time of the disaster. However, more evacuee mothers reported memory difficulties in their children than classmates' mothers. This is likely to be connected with mothers' anxiety.
