Abstract

This study examined the changes in children’s social network and specific self-perceptions during the transition from elementary school to junior high school (JHS). The participants were 200 preadolescent children (104 girls, 96 boys). Children’s self-perceptions (global self-worth, perceived academic competence, and perceived social acceptance) and social network characteristics (parents and peer-enacted support) were evaluated four consecutive times over a 2-year period. Despite a slight decrease in the size of children’s social network after the transition, the passage into JHS had no negative impact on the quality and functional aspects of their relationships with parents and school friends. The school transition was instead associated with an intensification of supportive relationships with school friends. Children’s perceived social acceptance also increased suddenly after the JHS transition, while children’s perceived scholastic competence decreased simultaneously during that time. Children’s general self-esteem was then observed to decline progressively over a longer period of time.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
