AI Article Synopsis
- - The study explores how social intelligence can act as a protective factor against the psychological impacts of peer victimization among 7th graders, particularly relating to depressive symptoms.
- - Researchers analyzed data from 986 students and found that while both genders experienced peer victimization, females reported higher depressive symptoms, and the negative effects of victimization were more pronounced in those with lower social intelligence.
- - The findings suggest that enhancing social intelligence may help reduce the mental health risks associated with peer victimization, offering valuable insights for effective prevention programs.
Article Abstract
Objective: Peer victimization is linked to psychological distress, but some youth are less affected than others. Identifying protective factors can inform prevention programs. Using longitudinal data from 7 graders we tested the role of social intelligence as a protective factor in the relation between peer victimization and depressive symptoms.
Method: Students ( = 986; 54% female; 43% non-white) from three schools provided self-report data via computer-assisted survey interviews in the fall (Time 1, T1) and spring (Time 2, T2) of 7 grade.
Results: Females reported more depressive symptoms and less physical victimization than males but did not differ from males on social intelligence or relational victimization. Regression analyses controlling for T1 depressive symptoms and other potential confounds revealed that both physical and relational victimization were positively and significantly associated with T2 depressive symptoms, but the strength of the relation varied by gender and by social intelligence. Specifically, the associations between victimization and depressive symptoms were stronger among females than males and among those with low or moderate rather than high social intelligence.
Conclusions: Social intelligence may protect youth from the psychological harms of peer victimization and could be an effective target of prevention programming.

Health recommender systems (HRS) have the capability to improve human-centered care and prevention by personalizing content, such as health interventions or health information. HRS, an emerging and developing field, can play a unique role in the digital health field as they can offer relevant recommendations, not only based on what users themselves prefer and may be receptive to, but also using data about wider spheres of influence over human behavior, including peers, families, communities, and societies. We identify and discuss how HRS could play a unique role in decreasing health inequities.

Background: The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) sparked significant health concerns worldwide, prompting policy makers and health care experts to implement nonpharmaceutical public health interventions, such as stay-at-home orders and mask mandates, to slow the spread of the virus. While these interventions proved essential in controlling transmission, they also caused substantial economic and societal costs and should therefore be used strategically, particularly when disease activity is on the rise. In this context, geosocial media posts (posts with an explicit georeference) have been shown to provide a promising tool for anticipating moments of potential health care crises.
