A new #zproso paper led by @laurabech.bsky.social examines youth-to-parent physical aggression (PYPA) and childhood behavioral and interpersonal risk and protective factors. Findings include a cumulative prevalence of 32.5% (across ages 11-24), with a peak at age 13.
We are excited to share this recent #zproso paper by Clarissa Janousch, which concludes that substance use prevention efforts should be strategically timed and tailored to the unique escalation patterns observed among sexual minority youth.

Using ecological momentary assessment data from the #zproso add-on study D2M, research led by Aja Murray tests how social media use relates to negative emotion and depression: use and negative affect co-occur, but do not predict each other. Moreover, social media inertia is linked to depression.
A new study using #zproso data led by Aja Murray tests the link between reading frequency and adolescent mental health. Using counterfactual and random-intercept cross-lagged panel models, results show no association, indicating reading frequency isn’t a protective factor without further context.
A new #zproso paper led by Clarissa Janousch examines how adolescent cannabis use relates to cognitive performance in young adulthood: cannabis use is linked to reduced attention and declarative memory at age 24, whereas it is not associated with spatial working memory.
Using criminal justice data from the #zproso study, new research led by Gian Ege examines how offences shape prosecutorial decisions in Swiss juvenile justice: while individual factors influence who faces legal proceedings and how often, sanction severity is driven by offence type and recidivism.
A new #zproso paper by Marta Codina and colleagues found that adolescents with learning disabilities reported more suicidal ideation and self-injury, and lower levels of protective factors, highlighting the need for early identification and tailored prevention strategies.

The 7th #zproso International Research Network (zIReN) Meeting in Cambridge welcomed researchers from nine universities. New papers using #zproso data were presented, examining human development from different perspectives. The event brought researchers closer and fostered new collaborations.
Few studies have yet explored how cannabis use influences changes in psychopathology and functional well-being in young adults. Using #zproso data, a new study led by @lydiafjf.bsky.social examines this matter through self-reports and hair THC analyses to track changes from age 20 to 24.

A new #zproso paper led by Manuel Eisner examines trajectories and childhood predictors of violent ideations (VIs) up to age 24. Findings indicate a strong decline in VIs from late adolescence to early adulthood. They also suggest that childhood predictors of later VIs differ by sex.
How do attitudes towards violence against women (VAW) differ among second-generation refugees, migrants, and native Swiss adolescents, and what factors are associated with higher support for VAW? A new paper led by Lana Ghuneim, using #zproso data, examines this issue.

A new study led by @clamassaccesi.bsky.social, using #zproso data, found no evidence that hair testosterone and cortisol levels are linked to social decision-making in young adults. This paper challenges prior theories about hormonal influences on social behavior.
