SCHOOL OF EDUCATION: Child Psychology

As the title suggests, the work provides an introduction to the area of child psychology. It is an engaging read; the points made are backed up with examples from child development in a wide array of different cultural settings. I felt that it would encourage students to think about ideas and theories for themselves, rather than learning a set of facts. The book assumes no prior knowledge of psychology, and as such would be most suitable for students completing a child psychology module as part of a course in a related area, such as education.

The closure of the units that have an important place in children's lives such as schools, parks, sports halls among the public areas, causing psychological problems such as anxiety, trauma and depression to be observed more frequently in children; It was determined that they faced problems in both access to education and the adaptation process with the transition to distance education instead of face-to-face education.

Scientists have developed evidence-based interventions that improve the symptoms and functioning of youth with psychiatric disorders; however, these interventions are rarely used in community settings. Eliminating this research-to-practice gap is the purview of implementation science, the discipline devoted to the study of methods to promote the use of evidence-based practices in routine care.

Enhancements in mobile phone technology allow the study of children and adolescents' everyday lives like never before. Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) uses these advancements to allow in-depth measurements of links between context, behavior, and physiology in youths' everyday lives.

Interest in children's wellbeing has been steadily increasing across political, social and educational contexts. While the importance of children's wellbeing-particularly in relation to learning and development-is undisputed, there are conflicting perspectives on what wellbeing actually is, let alone how to measure and promote it. The purpose of this paper is to examine the context, complexities and challenges associated with understanding children's wellbeing-specifically children's perspectives on their wellbeing in the early childhood setting. This paper argues that in order to support children's wellbeing in early childhood settings, we need to know how young children subjectively experience wellbeing. This requires the adoption of a constructivist, child-centered approach to the conceptualization of wellbeing in early childhood research to promote effective programme provision.

This study examined whether adolescents who were at various stages of the help-seeking process differed on demographic characteristics, use of informal helpers, and markers of emotional and behavioral adjustment.
