Youth Social-Emotional Competence Assessment, Development, Predictors, and Outcomes
In Progress
Summary
The main objective of this project is to investigate how social-emotional competence is assessed across different informants and contexts, how it develops over time, what factors predict its development, and how it relates to later outcomes.
Using large-scale primary and secondary data sources, we aim to advance the literature on social-emotional competence among children and adolescents across diverse cultural and educational contexts.
