• Future orientation in times of threat and challenge: How resilient adolescents construct their future (2008, background): “The study of threat and challenge in real life situations has been so scarce that at present only one study – focusing on threat and challenge appraisals of transition from primary to secondary school (Sirsch, 2003) – has been reported.”
• Primary–secondary transition: Differences between teachers’ and children’s perceptions (2011, background): “Likewise, Sirsch (2003) found that children perceive the transition to secondary school as both a challenge and as a threat, differentiating between academic achievement and the new social environment.”
