The association between supportive teacher-student relationships and student’s suicidal ideation and behaviors: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Suicidality is a serious concern among school-aged children and adolescents worldwide. School can be an important environment in which supportive relationships mitigate students’ suicidal ideation and attempts. The aim of the current systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the association between supportive teacher-student relationships and school students’ suicidal ideation and behaviors. The systematic review was preregistered (PROSPERO CRD42024616199). 1216 articles were identified when search terms were entered in Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, and ERIC in November 2024, filtering for English language articles. For inclusion, articles needed to report on empirical data that allowed for meta-analytic calculations. Articles were excluded if they reported only on non-suicidal self-harm/injury, as well as qualitative, (quasi)experimental, prevention, and intervention studies. Furthermore, studies only reporting on the negative aspects of teacher-student relationships, combined sources of supportive relationships, and teacher’s relationships and/or interactions with entire class were excluded. Study quality was independently assessed by two reviewers using the NHLBI Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional Studies. Sensitivity analyses were conducted excluding studies rated as low quality. Based on 20 included studies, an overall small yet significant effect was found ( r = − .14), with high heterogeneity. Moderator analyses revealed differences for gender, sample type, continent, assessment timeframe of suicidal behaviors, statistical measures, and study quality. The findings indicate the significance of teachers in suicide prevention and emphasize the need for professional development to strengthen relationship-building skills.

Scale development and factor analysis of the moral–civic identity scale in adolescents and emerging adults from Germany and German-speaking Switzerland
Adolescence and emerging adulthood are key periods for consolidating value-based identities that motivate civic life. We introduce the Moral–Civic Identity (German original: moralisch demokratische Identität ; MDI) Scale, a brief instrument that assesses the internalized centrality of moral and civic traits in the self-concept. Data came from 1149 adolescents and emerging adults (16–27 years) residing in Germany or the German-speaking part of Switzerland, who were recruited through a professional online panel provider. Participants completed 27 trait items (9 moral, 9 civic; 9 distractors). Initial confirmatory factor analyses compared a one-factor model, a correlated two-factor model (moral, civic), a higher-order model, and a bifactor model. Subsequent data-informed item-reduction analyses yielded a 14-item correlated two-factor solution (7 moral; 7 civic) that provided the most parsimonious and theoretically coherent representation in this present sample. The subscales showed adequate reliability, and moral and civic identity were strongly related yet distinct. Multi-group CFA supported full invariance across residence (Germany vs. German-speaking Switzerland) and configural–scalar invariance across gender. The MDI offers a short and openly available tool for research and evaluation, with initial evidence supporting its use in Germany and the German-speaking part of Switzerland.

Sozial-emotionale Kompetenzen im Jugendalter – eine Synthese zur Konstruktdefinition
Zusammenfassung: Soziale Interaktionen und emotionales Erleben stehen in einem engen wechselseitigen Zusammenhang. Im schulischen Kontext spielen sozial-emotionale Kompetenzen eine besondere Rolle, da sie bedeutsam für gelingende Bildungsprozesse sind. Es zeigen sich u. a. enge Zusammenhänge mit den Bereichen Lernen und Sprache. Risikobelastungen im sozial-emotionalen Bereich können also in verschiedener Hinsicht negative Folgen für die Teilhabe der betroffenen Schüler*innen haben. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird das Konstrukt der sozial-emotionalen Kompetenzen im Jugendalter unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des schulischen Kontexts theoretisch betrachtet mit dem Ziel, vorhandene Definitionsansätze zusammenzuführen. Hierfür wird die Methode der Best-fit Framework Synthese sowie das hieraus resultierende Modell dargestellt. Abschließend erfolgt eine Betrachtung der Einsatzmöglichkeiten, Potenziale und Grenzen des Modells.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of the association between sense of school belonging and externalizing behavior problems
The aim of the systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the association between school students’ sense of school belonging and externalizing behavior problems. Search terms were entered in Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, and ERIC in July 2025, filtering for English language articles from 2000 onwards. For inclusion, articles needed to report on independent empirical data that allowed for meta-analytic calculations. Exclusion criteria concerned certain sample characteristics, operationalization and conceptualization of constructs, and study design. Applying the eligibility criteria in a title-abstract and full-text screening, resulted in the inclusion of 53 articles. A NHLBI checklist was utilized for the quality assessment. Small yet significant effects were found with both cross-sectional ( k = 53, N = 143,980, r = − 0.26) and longitudinal data ( k = 17, N = 29,944, r = − 0.16), albeit with high heterogeneity. Across these, different moderators emerged as significant, with the effect size metric, study quality, and informant of externalizing behavior showing consistent differences. Differentiated meta-analyses for temporal directions revealed bidirectional longitudinal effects from sense of school belonging onto externalizing behaviors ( k = 14, N = 25,111, r = − 0.17) and vice versa ( k = 7, N = 7929, r = − 0.16). Thus, school belonging and externalizing behaviors are bidirectionally and negatively associated both concurrently and over time. These findings highlight that the promotion of school belonging represents an important focus for schools seeking to support students with behavioral difficulties and strengthen positive developmental pathways.

Editorial: Bullying in Schulen
Bullying in der Schule gehört zu den seit Jahrzehnten intensiv beforschten Phänomenenschulischer Sozialbeziehungen. Nach wie vor ist ein erheblicher Anteil von Schülerinnen undSchülern an Bullyingprozessen beteiligt. Die Folgen reichen von akuten emotionalenBelastungsreaktionen über Angststörungen und depressive Symptome bis hin zu erhöhtemSuizidrisiko (Arseneault, 2018; Gini & Pozzoli, 2009). Vor diesem Hintergrund wird dieNotwendigkeit systematischer schulischer Unterstützungsangebote besonders deutlich. DieSonderpädagogik kann mit ihren differenzierten theoretischen Zugängen und empirischenPerspektiven einen wichtigen Beitrag zum vertieften Verständnis von Bullying sowie zurEntwicklung wirksamer Schutz- und Unterstützungskonzepte leisten. Wir freuen uns daher,dieses Themenheft für die Empirische Sonderpädagogik gestalten zu dürfen.

Bauch- und Kopfschmerzen im Kindesalter – Eine rehabilitationspädagogische Perspektive auf die Kommunikation und Beratung von Kindern, Eltern und Lehrkräften bei somatoformen Beschwerden
Der Entstehung und Aufrechterhaltung von somatoformen Symptomen und Störungen im Kindesalter liegt eine komplexe Kombination von biopsychosozialen Risikofaktoren zugrunde. Therapie- und Beratungskonzepte sollten an diesen Erkenntnissen ausgerichtet sein. Um betroffene Kinder und deren Familien auch präventiv unterstützen zu können, bedarf es professioneller pädagogischer Hilfs- und Beratungsangebote mit niedrigschwelligem Zugang. Zur gezielten Umsetzung müssen spezialisierte Fachkräfte aus- und weitergebildet werden, um Hilfs- und Beratungsangebote für das komplexe Beschwerdebild somatoformer Symptome und Störungen im Kindes- und Jugendalter anbieten zu können.

Technologie trifft Elementarpädagogik
Zusammenfassung: Technologie spielt eine zunehmend bedeutende Rolle in der frühkindlichen Bildung, insbesondere im Bereich der sprachlich-literalen und sozial-emotionalen Förderung. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die Nutzung digitaler Fördermaßnahmen in Kindertageseinrichtungen und analysiert die Einflussfaktoren auf deren Anwendung. Anhand einer Online-Befragung von 247 pädagogischen Fachkräften wurden Daten zu digitalen Ressourcen, professioneller Unterstützung, Medienkompetenz und der Einstellung zu digitalen Medien erhoben. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Nutzung digitaler Fördermaßnahmen maßgeblich von der Medienkompetenz der Fachkräfte sowie von deren Einstellungen gegenüber digitalen Medien abhängt. Zudem wurde ein signifikanter indirekter Effekt festgestellt, bei dem digitale Unterstützung über die Medienkompetenz der Fachkräfte die Anwendung digitaler Medien in der Förderung beeinflusst. Die Studie unterstreicht die Bedeutung gezielter Fortbildungsangebote und einer besseren technischen Ausstattung zur effektiven Integration digitaler Medien in den frühpädagogischen Alltag.

The Moderating Role of Parental Overprotection and Insecure Child–Caregiver Attachment on the Association Between Adaptive Emotion Regulation Strategies and Vegetative Somatoform Symptoms in Childhood
The current study investigates the moderating role of parental overprotection and insecure mother–child attachment on the association between adaptive emotion regulation (ER) strategies and vegetative somatoform symptoms in children. A study sample of 221 primary (Grade 4) school children completed questionnaires assessing vegetative somatoform symptoms, ER strategies, and attachment. Their parents completed a questionnaire for parental overprotection. In contrast to our assumption, the relation between the use of adaptive ER strategies and vegetative somatoform symptoms is only moderated by parental overprotection. Insecure child–caregiver attachment plays no moderation role. The results support the assumption that the child–caregiver interaction factor “parental overprotection” plays an important role in explaining the occurrence and maintenance of vegetative somatoform symptoms in children. This underlines the importance for parents to undergo a process of adjustment to support children in an age‐adequate way in regulating their emotions, which does not impair children’s own competences, for example, the autonomous use of adaptive ER strategies.
