Personally meaningful life events from adolescence to young adulthood

In this Video Abstract, Dr. David Bürgin discusses his co-authored JCPP paper ‘Personally meaningful life events from adolescence to young adulthood: a longitudinal natural language processing analysis’. Large-scale population-based studies of risk and protective factors for youth mental health rarely assess youths' first-hand experiences in their own words. This longitudinal study analyzed young people's self-reported most important life events and examined how the key topics changed from midadolescence to young adulthood and are associated with internalizing symptoms.

Learning Objectives

1. Identify key life event topics and examine how these topics change across developmental periods.

2. Analyse how life event topics vary across sex, socioeconomic status, and migration background.

3. Explore internalizing symptoms as a cross-sectional correlate of life event topics and valence.
