  • A longitudinal study of adolescent coping

    Beschreibung: During adolescence and young adulthood, individuals experience numerous biological, social, and psychological transitions and challenges. Coping is generally understood as a response to these demands, shaped by personal appraisals as well as social and individual resources (e.g., Skinner & Zimmer-Gembeck, 2007). However, much of the research on coping among young people has relied on cross-sectional designs (e.g., Compas et al., 2017). The current thesis will take a longitudinal perspective on adolescent and young adult coping.

  • Antecedents and Consequences of Cocaine Use: Longitudinal Associations With Social Behaviour, Internalizing and Externalizing Symptoms

    Beschreibung: Cocaine use is associated with alterations in social functioning and psychopathology, yet the temporal direction of these changes and the role of internalizing and externalizing symptoms remain unclear. This master?s thesis examines how cocaine use relates to longitudinal changes in social behavior and whether internalizing and externalizing symptoms predict the initiation or escalation of use. Analyses are based on a sample of individuals aged 11 to 24 years, allowing the investigation of developmental patterns across adolescence and young adulthood. Cocaine use will be assessed using hair toxicology, providing an objective measure of recent consumption. A central aim is to distinguish psychosocial characteristics that predispose individuals to cocaine use from those that emerge as consequences of continued use. To identify cocaine-specific patterns, outcomes will be compared across three groups: cocaine users, MDMA users, and non-users. This comparative design allows for separating drug-specific effects from general recreational use or lifestyle-related factors. The findings aim to clarify how cocaine use interacts with social behaviour and psychopathology over time, providing insight into risk mechanisms and potential intervention targets.
