Abstract. Psychology aims to be descriptive but depends on norms and values to guide both research and practice. Educational psychology, as a sub-discipline and applied branch of psychology, focuses on describing processes of teaching, learning, and development. This article aims to connect notions of human and children's rights with concepts of educational psychology to illustrate the interdependence of normative and descriptive frameworks. We use Martha Nussbaum's capability approach as an operationalization to move from a normative legal framework toward concrete research topics and practices within educational and school psychology. According to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, children have the right to feel safe, learn, participate, and form an identity. We argue that educational psychology can help to specify these normative postulations of the CRC and aid the implementation of positive rights. The phenomenon of school bullying is introduced as a specific area where children's rights are affected. After a brief characterization of its major features from an ecological-systemic perspective, we draw on research on bullying prevention and the creation of positive learning environments to illustrate the aptness of educational psychology for realizing children's positive rights. We conclude that educational psychology is not only able to prevent human rights infringements but also to promote children's rights and capabilities, especially in reference to competencies, participation, and identity.

Highlights Fostering national or European identities can be compatible with education for tolerance. Social relationships in school are important predictors of national and European identity. Formal learning opportunities are especially important for fostering a European identity. Purpose: The aim of this article is to analyse the concept of national and European identities through multidisciplinary lenses and to examine empirically how schools develop those identities in adolescents. Method: The study employs data from the International Civic and Citizenship Education Study 2016. Correlation and regression analyses are conducted with data from over 45,000 students from fourteen different national educational systems. Country-specific weighted statistical analyses are conducted. Findings: A combination of perspectives from the fields of psychology, political culture, and civic and citizenship education is useful to reflect upon the dimensions and desirability of overarching identities. Formal learning opportunities are shown to be particularly relevant for fostering a European identity. Positive relationships between students and teachers and between students statistically predict stronger identities. Practical implications: Good social relationships at school help to develop national and European identities. Moreover, the development of a European identity especially depends upon its explicit inclusion in the curriculum. Teachers should guide students to reflect on the meaning and content of tolerant and complex national and European identities.
