10 Years Up - cohort study: year 1 (2020/2021)

<p>In 2020, the research project ’10 Years Up’ (10yup.nl) started at Utrecht University. It is the effort of a multi-disciplinary team. The study follows a longitudinal cohort of 500 young adults from age 16 for 10 years. The participants were recruited by random selection from the general population of 16-year old adolescents. Every three months, they use a mobile app to indicate which goals they are pursuing by swiping right or left, and answer questions about how they go about realizing them. They also fill in questionnaires about various other topics related to their current circumstances, health and well-being. This way, we will be able to determine antecedents and consequences of goal setting and striving as a self-regulation strategy over time. Finding out about young people’s choices affect their health and well-being helps us to be able to guide them in the important transition from adolescent to adult. By knowing which goals are important to them in this period, we can support them in their development.</p><p>Data of the first year of collection can be found in this repository, split in four separate files per wave:<br>Wave 1: Oktober/November 2020<br>Wave 2: Januari 2021<br>Wave 3: April 2021<br>Wave 4: Augustus 2021</p><p>For questions on this dataset, please contact the project manager at [e-mail]</p>
