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. 👇

Check out our new paper on childhood risk factors for violent ideations now in Criminal Behavior and Mental Health!

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.

A new study led by Yongtian Cheng used #machinelearning to predict momentary aggression using real-time data from ecological momentary assessment. Findings show that predictions made by the elastic net model outperformed the predictions made by traditional methods. 👉 doi.org/10.1037/vio0...

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. 👉 doi.org/10.1177/1477...

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. 👉 doi.org/10.1093/scan...
