Although the field of developmental psychopathology has traditionally focused on mental health, there has been increasing interest in exploring how psychological and developmental factors are associated with physical health. I argue that the principles of developmental psychopathology may be particularly useful for understanding physical health across development. I discuss how researchers can apply the following developmental psychopathology principles to the study of physical health: (a) dimensional measurement of stress exposure, (b) the multifaceted nature of risk and resilience, (c) focus on processes and pathways, and (d) lifespan development and intergenerational effects. I provide several future directions and considerations for work in this area, many of which are consistent with the new goals of Infant and Child Development.

发展精神病理学方法研究身体健康前因的优势

尽管发展精神病理学领域传统上侧重于心理健康，但人们越来越关注探索心理和发育因素如何与身体健康相关联。我认为，发展精神病理学的原则可能对理解整个发展过程中的身体健康特别有用。我讨论了研究人员如何将以下发展精神病理学原理应用于身体健康研究：(a) 压力暴露的维度测量，(b) 风险和恢复力的多方面性质，(c) 关注过程和途径，以及 (d ) 寿命发展和代际效应。我为这方面的工作提供了几个未来的方向和考虑，其中许多与新目标一致婴幼儿发展。
