Introduction: Using a prospective longitudinal design across six years, the current study investigated whether adolescents’ experiences of peer rejection across middle school increased their risk of maladaptive (aggressive and unsupportive) behaviors in high school romantic relationships. Additionally, friendship quality following the transition to high school was examined as a potential protective factor. Methods: The sample consisted of 1,987 ethnically diverse youth (54% female; Mage=17.10) who were romantically involved at eleventh grade. Peer rejection (based on peer nominations) was assessed at four time points across three years in middle school. Students reported on their friendship quality in ninth grade and their aggressive (e.g., shouting; hitting) and supportive (e.g., listening; helping) behaviors towards a romantic partner in eleventh grade. Results: Results demonstrated that adolescents who were increasingly rejected by peers during middle school were more likely to behave aggressively towards their romantic partners in high school. Friendship quality at the beginning of high school moderated prospective links from rejection to support, such that escalating middle school peer rejection predicted less supportive romantic behaviors only among youth with low-quality friendships at ninth grade. These patterns were documented over and above the effects of sex, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and students’ aggressive behavior at the beginning of middle school. Conclusions: Together, the findings suggest that 1) increasing peer rejection during middle school may spiral into later romantic relationship dysfunction and 2) supportive friendships across a critical school transition can interrupt links between peer and romantic problems.

Maraknya kasus bullying victimization pada remaja saat ini menjadi perhatian serius. Oleh karena itu, perlu adanya suatu faktor protektif yang dapat berkontribusi dalam mengurangi bullying yang terjadi, khususnya dari pihak korban. Salah satu faktor protektif yang potensial adalah melalui hubungan pertemanan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan antara kualitas pertemanan dengan bullying victimization pada remaja SMP di Kota Banda Aceh. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 360 remaja SMP (185 laki-laki dan 175 perempuan). Total dari 360 remaja SMP dari 4 sekolah di kota Banda Aceh didapatkan dengan menggunakan teknik pengambilan sampel cluster sampling dan disproportionate stratified random sampling. Pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan Friendship Qualities Scale dan The Revised Olweus Victim Questionnaire. Hasil analisa menunjukkan terdapat hubungan negatif dan siginifikan antara kualitas pertemanan dengan bullying victimization pada remaja SMP di Kota Banda Aceh (r= -0,3, p<0,05). Hal ini mengindikasikan semakin tinggi skor kualitas pertemanan maka semakin rendah skor pada intensitas bullying victimization, demikian pula sebaliknya. Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa kualitas pertemanan yang tinggi dapat menjadi pelindung yang potensial dalam menurunkan keterlibatan remaja dalam bullying victimization. Kata kunci : Kualitas pertemanan, Bullying Victimization, Remaja SMP The increasing rates of bullying victimization on adolescence recently is an alarm. Therefore, there is need for a protective factor that can contribute in reducing the instances of bullying, particularly for the victim. One of potential protective factor is friendship. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between friendship quality and bullying victimization on middle school students in Banda Aceh. A total of 360 middle school students (185 male and 175 female) from 4 schools in Banda Aceh was selected using cluster and disproportionate stratified random sampling. Data in this study was collected using Friendship Qualities Scale and The Revised Olweus Victim Questionnaire. Data analysis showed that there was a negative and significant correlation between friendship quality and bullying victimization on middle school students in Banda Aceh (r= -0,3, p<0,05). This indicated that higher score on friendship quality scale would followed by lower score on bullying victimization questionnaire, and vice versa. Thus, it can be concluded that a high friendship quality could be a potential protection in decreasing adolescents involvement in bullying victimization.

Recent scholarship has examined how accelerated math trajectories leading to calculus take shape during middle school. The focus of this study is on advanced math course taking during the critical yet understudied period that follows: the transition to high school. Data from the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 are used to examine advanced math course taking in ninth grade, including both track persistence among students who took advanced math in middle school and upward mobility among students who took standard math in middle school. Results reveal sizable racial gaps in the likelihood of staying on (and getting on) the accelerated math track, neither of which are fully explained by prior academic performance factors. Interactions with parents and teachers positively predict advanced math course taking. In some cases, interactions with teachers may also reduce inequality in track persistence, whereas interactions with counselors increase such inequality. Implications for research and policy are discussed.

Financial literacy is a combination of financial knowledge, attitudes and behaviors, key for making informed decisions and for solving financial problems. This descriptive study explored the applied, conceptual and procedural financial knowledge of 243 Mexican students via three financial knowledge tests. In addition, these students were surveyed about their financial behavior, their attitudes towards money, and their experience with money using a self-report questionnaire. The study aims to identify financial-education needs and gaps between school levels and systems. Therefore, the analysis focuses on the differences and similarities between two subgroups: (1) students in public and in private education, and between (2) middle school (ages 12 to 15) and high school students (ages 15 to 18). Middle school and high school students differed significantly only in their conceptual knowledge and in their financial experience, while public and private students showed statistical significant differences on their financial knowledge, behavior, attitudes and experience.
