Most procedural justice research has been cross-sectional—making causal claims difficult. Our longitudinal study asks whether police legitimacy reduces delinquency, or whether delinquency shapes legitimacy beliefs. The stronger evidence points to the latter. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

New #z-proso paper by Hanne Duindam et al. out! Our latest study shows: adolescents who experience persistent bullying, distress & distrust are more susceptible to conspiracy thinking & violent extremism by age 24. Developmental trajectories matter for understanding radicalisation.

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.

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.

Cannabis use in adolescence has been linked to lower adult cognitive function, but the specific contributions of age of onset and usage frequency remain unclear. This study analyzed data from the Zuri...

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. 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.ja...

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.
