This study tested two competing models of differential susceptibility and diathesis-stress in a prospective longitudinal study of African American youths (N = 935). It examined whether individual variations in the functioning of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenocortical axis at age 11 interact with middle childhood parent–child relationship quality to predict mental and physical health problems in adolescence (ages 11–15 years old). Adolescent boys with lower levels of cortisol reactivity to laboratory challenges had the highest levels of internalizing problems if they experienced a high conflictual relationship with their parents. Equally low-reactive boys, however, reported the lowest number of physical illnesses if their relationship with their parents was characterized by high levels of intimacy and support.

亲子关系质量和青少年健康：测试非裔美国青年的差异易感性和素质压力假设

本研究在一项针对非裔美国青年的前瞻性纵向研究中测试了两种相互竞争的差异易感性和素质压力模型（N = 935)。它检查了 11 岁时下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺皮质轴功能的个体差异是否与儿童中期亲子关系质量相互作用，以预测青春期（11-15 岁）的心理和身体健康问题。对实验室挑战的皮质醇反应水平较低的青少年男孩如果与父母发生高度冲突的关系，他们的内化问题水平最高。然而，如果他们与父母的关系以高度亲密和支持为特征，那么同样低反应的男孩报告的身体疾病数量最少。
