Stressors play a defining role in youth development and, in particular, in adolescent psychological and behavioral adaptation. However, the nature of stressors experienced during adolescence has not been reviewed or investigated comprehensively. To bridge this gap, this investigation conducted a systematic review of adolescent stressors reported in the literature (Study 1, N = 18 studies) and a content analysis of self-reported stressors (Study 2, N = 1,568 adolescents, Mean age = 15.5 years, 41.5% female adolescents). The results converged in the identification of negative stressors (i.e., health issues, parental conflicts, issues with parents, teachers, peers or friends, romantic issues, concerns about the future and school) and positive stressors (i.e., leisure time, finding oneself, school or other accomplishments, social acquisitions, receiving help, romance and friendship, birth and good time in the family), which are highly occurring and highly intense among adolescents. Overall, these findings can guide researchers and practitioners towards developing efficient stressors measures, integrative theories on adolescent stress and development, as well as effective interventions targeting specific stress processes in the domains of education, criminology and psychopathology.

压力源在青年发展，特别是在青少年心理和行为适应方面发挥着决定性作用。然而，尚未对青春期所经历的压力源的性质进行全面审查或调查。为了弥补这一差距，本次调查对文献中报告的青少年压力源（研究 1，N  = 18 项研究）进行了系统回顾，并对自我报告的压力源进行了内容分析（研究 2，N = 1,568 名青少年，平均年龄 = 15.5 岁，41.5% 的女性青少年）。结果集中在识别负面压力源（即健康问题、父母冲突、与父母、老师、同龄人或朋友的问题、浪漫问题、对未来和学校的担忧）和积极压力源（即休闲时间、寻找自我、学或其他成就、社会成就、接受帮助、浪漫和友谊、出生和家庭中的美好时光），这些在青少年中发生率高且强度高。总体而言，这些发现可以指导研究人员和从业者制定有效的压力源措施、关于青少年压力和发展的综合理论，以及针对教育、犯罪学和精神病理学领域特定压力过程的有效干预措施。
