Congratulations to Olivier Gaudet on his new article from his doctoral thesis, written in collaboration with Marie-Hélène Véronneau, Johanne Saint-Charles and Cécile Mathys.
The article, published in the Revue de Psychoéducation, looks at unstable self-esteem in early adolescence, and the influence of their role in a clique on this. The study focused on popular and unpopular cliques, in which young people occupy a central or peripheral position.
The results of the study revealed that being a peripheral member of a popular group could be a protective factor for self-esteem.
Conversely, being a peripheral member in an unpopular group would be a risk factor for self-esteem.
