Emotional and Behavioural Adjustment in Adolescence

Dear Colleagues,

This monograph seeks to deepen exploration of psychosocial adjustment in adolescence, a topic of great scientific relevance, and, more specifically, of adjustment in emotional and behavioural areas. Adjustment and well-being in this evolutionary stage are related to the many changes and challenges to which the person must adapt, both in terms of physical appearance, as well as in family relationships, or interactions with peers and teachers in a school context. This monograph, therefore, aims to provide ideas for psychologists and other professionals that, at the same time, will allow them to respond to the demands of parents and social and educational institutions regarding what it means to be an adolescent and how to understand their behaviours and feelings in order to respond appropriately and functionally.

Thus, this Special Issue seeks papers on specific issues in adolescence such as bullying, cyberbullying, teacher–student relationships, socio-emotional competencies, such as emotional intelligence, mental health in adolescence, delinquency, and substance use, psychological needs, motivation and autonomy, or the quality of family relationships. Empirical studies and high-quality systematic reviews will be considered.
