Family, peer and school connectedness in final year secondary school students (2008, background): “Thiede-Call and Mortimer (2001) also linked poor parent – child relationships to poor school performance, problem behaviour, depression and low selfesteem among young people.”
Connecting the Dots: How Connectedness to Multiple Contexts Influences the Psychological and Academic Adjustment of Urban Youth (2009, background): “…depressive symptoms further supports our substitution hypothesis; it seems that a general connection to any context is related to fewer depressive symptoms because the youth may experiences feelings of safety and security (Barber & Olsen, 1997) in their arenas of comfort (Call & Mortimer, 2001).”
Adolescent loneliness and social anxiety (2016, methodology): “Previous research has reported mean-level differences in social support with girls tending to report more received social support than boys (Call & Mortimer, 2001), such as greater support from classmates and close friends (Rueger et al., 2008).”
A Longitudinal Study of Negative Life Events, Stress, and School Experiences of Gifted Youth (2009, background): “Conflictual relationships with parents can also disrupt school functioning (Call & Mortimer, 2001), although sources of support can protect against this risk (Crosnoe & Elder, 2004).”
Social Relationships and Health Behavior Across Life Course (2010, background): “As Figure 1 suggests, social support may have indirect effects on health habits through enhanced mental health (Uchino 2004), by reducing the impact of stress (Cohen et al. 2004), or by fostering symbolic meanings (Call & Mortimer 2001, Crosnoe 2006).”
Family Dynamics, Supportive Relationships, and Educational Resilience During Adolescence (2004, methodology): “Muller (2001) found that support from teachers can protect against the academic problems associated with nonemotional family disadvantages, whereas Call and Mortimer (2001) found that such support can buffer against problems with parents in nonacademic ways.”
Are There Gendered Pathways to Intimacy in Early Adolescents’ and Emerging Adults’ Friendships? (2006, background): “…close, intimate friendships can provide important developmental opportunities for adolescents and emerging adults, such as creating a secure environment or “comfort zone” in which to explore and validate their identities (Call & Mortimer, 2001; Elliott & Feldman, 1990; Sullivan, 1953).”
