Past research has found that sport team identification is positively correlated with social psychological health (Phua, 2012; Wann & Weaver, 2009) including work testing adolescent fans (Wann, Brasher, Thomas, & Scheuchner, in press).  The current study was designed to extend previous investigations by examining the relationship between team identification and the establishment and maintenance of social connections.  Data from 177 high school students confirmed expectations as identification with a high school football team was positively correlated with both social well-being and social connections.  However, social connections were not found to mediate the relationship between identification and well-being, contrary to the team identification – social psychological health model (Wann, 2006b).

Grit—passion and perseverance for long-term goals—has been linked to a wide array of positive academic and psychological outcomes. However, limited research has been conducted to explore the association of grit with different indicators of well-being and psychological health. The primary objective of this study was to assess the associations among grit, meaning in life, and depression. There were 447 Filipino high school students who participated in the study. Results of structural equation modeling showed that grit was linked to higher levels of meaning in life dimensions (i.e., presence of meaning and search for meaning in life) and presence of meaning was associated with lower depression. Bias-corrected bootstrapping revealed that grit had an indirect negative influence on depression through the intermediate variable—presence of meaning in life. Theoretical and practical implications are elucidated.

Distinctive personality traits account for every person, who they are, and how they behave. These have impacts on the way people perceive the world. Like adults, children and adolescents can be described in terms of personality traits such as characteristics, patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. This study reports the personality traits and extent of a misdemeanor of high school students. Also, it seeks to find out if one's personality traits affect the behavioral tendencies and vice-versa, how these traits develop across childhood and adolescence, and how they relate in the transition of adolescence period that involves changes in biological, socio-emotional, and well-being. The vast majority of research has focused more on adulthood and is scarcer than adolescent personality traits research. Additionally, the relationship between personality traits and misdemeanor and the demographic variables was also explored.
