We hypothesized that higher levels and increasing trajectories of hopelessness, as well as perceived injustice, would predict depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation across adolescence and emerging adulthood. We also expected procedural injustice would explain the relation between hopelessness and these outcomes. Finally, we hypothesized the influence of hopelessness and perceived injustice would be moderated by gender and race/ethnicity.

Levels of procedural justice predicted finals levels of depression. Changes in procedural justice during emerging adulthood predicted changes in depression during the same period.
