z-proso studies the social development of children and youths, with a particular focus on aggressive and delinquent behaviour, but also on prosocial characteristics. It investigates how
individual, family, school and situational factors work together in the development of aggression and other problem behaviour. Children have been regularly followed since 2004 and the most recent wave of data collection was carried out in 2018 at age 20. Currently, the zIReN research network includes researchers from 27 universities.

Over the waves, the study included, amongst others, experimental assessments of risk-seeking behaviour, measures of friendship networks, scenario-based measures on judgement and decision-making, assessments of pubertal development and measures of resting heart rate. The study includes analyses of the specific effects of peer victimisation on internalising and externalising behaviour problems, the variability of sex differences in aggression between children and the extent to which trust and trustworthiness at a young age predicts trajectories of problem behaviour later on. Other issues have been added as the study progressed, including young people’s perception of law and police work, the causes of substance abuse and the dynamics of mental health. The study has extensive repeated measures on aggression, bullying, victimisation and self-reported offending. It now also comprises data on criminal records of participants. 

z-proso is complemented by a field experiment aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of two early prevention programmes: Triple P (a parent training programme) and Denk-Wege (formerly PATHS in English, a school-based social skills training programme). The cultural diversity of the sample, the long running time and the excellent retention rate of 90% distinguish this project. Since 2017, z-proso is mainly based at the Jacobs Center for Productive Youth Development at the University of Zurich.

The Jacobs Foundation and the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) have provided long-term financial support since 2003. From 2017 to date, z-proso has been mainly funded by the SNSF as a national research infrastructure. The study has reached the milestone of over 100 papers published in academic journals.

 

On 6-8 February 2020, affiliated researchers Izabela Zych and Vicente Llorent, at the University of Cordoba, organised the second International Seminar of z-proso. Researchers from all over the world met to share the latest findings and plan ahead. Read more about it here. The Seminar's programme can be read and downloaded here. On 26 October 2018, the First International Symposium, held in Switzerland, marked the 15th anniversary of the Study. Find out more about it here. The 2018 Anniversary Report can be downloaded here

 

On 26 and 27 August 2021, members of the zIReN met via zoom for a series of talks. Presentations included: An Overview of Key Findings by Dr Aja Murray, who is affiliated with the VRC on a number of projects; talks on ADHD symptoms and substance abuse; victimisation and offending; consequences of substance abuse on behaviour; youth crime and contact with police; injurious behaviours and bullying. Laura Campo's contribution was entitled: Resilience factors buffering the effects of adolescent dating violence victimisation. Other affiliate members of the VRC that contributed to the workshop with talks included Co-director Prof Lilly Shanahan, Prof Izabela Zych, Dr Margit Averdijk and Dr Amy Nivette.
