Although conspiracy belief may arise from a frustration of psychological needs, research has yet to investigate these relationships over time. Using four annual waves of longitudinal panel data in New Zealand (2019-2022; = 55,269), we examined the relationship between four psychological needs (namely belonging, control, meaning in life, and self-esteem) and conspiracy belief. Results from four random-intercept cross-lagged panel models reveal stable between-person effects indicating that those whose core needs are less satisfied tend to exhibit higher levels of conspiracy belief across time.

Importance: Adolescent cannabis use has been consistently posited to contribute to the onset and progression of psychosis. However, alternative causal models may account for observed associations between cannabis use and psychosis risk, including shared vulnerability for both cannabis use and psychosis or efforts to self-medicate distress from psychosis spectrum symptomology.
Objective: To test 3 hypotheses that may explain cannabis-psychosis risk associations by modeling psychosis spectrum symptom trajectories prior to and after cannabis initiation across adolescent development (approximately 10-15 years of age).

Ethnic identity is a major area of study across many disciplines including psychology, sociology, anthropology, and political science. Yet, little is known about changes in ethnic identity across the adult lifespan, and whether such changes are driven by normal aging processes (aging effects), unique societal influences linked with one's formative years (cohort effects), or social changes during a specific time frame (period effects). We address these key oversights by utilizing 13 annual waves of longitudinal panel data from a nationwide random sample of both ethnic majority ( = 49,660) and Indigenous ethnic minority ( = 8,325) group members in New Zealand to examine changes in ethnic identity centrality using cohort-sequential latent growth modeling.

Sinus bradycardia is defined as a heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute and can occur as an adaptive response but can also be pathologic. Sinus bradycardia can be a normal finding in children, individuals who exercise often, and as a physiologic response during sleep. Pathologic causes of sinus bradycardia include sinus node dysfunction, medications, acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, obstructive sleep apnea, exaggerated vagal activity, increased intracranial hypertension, infection, hypothyroidism, hypothermia, anorexia nervosa, and prolonged hypoxia.
