Time perspective and health risk behaviors in adolescence

The project aims to investigate the risk and protective factors underlying health-risk behaviors during adolescence. The study focuses on the role of time perspective and self-regulation processes in dysfunctional eating behaviors and the problematic use of alcohol and other substances. Its objective is to contribute to the development of scientific knowledge that can support the design of targeted prevention and well-being promotion interventions. The research includes a systematic review of the scientific literature aimed at identifying the main temporal and emotional-motivational predictors of health-risk behaviors in adolescence. This will be followed by the selection and adaptation of assessment instruments, as well as the implementation and management of quantitative cross-sectional and longitudinal data collection studies
