富裕家庭的孩子通常被认为风险较低。然而，最近的研究表明，问题存在于几个领域——尤其是药物使用、焦虑和抑郁——以及两组潜在的原因：实现目标的压力和与父母的隔离。认识到对这些问题的认识有限，本文的目标是整理有关富人问题性质及其可能原因的证据。论文的前半部分主要关注富裕家庭儿童的骚乱问题，后半部分主要关注他们的家庭和社区特征。然后讨论了对富人普遍存在的负面情绪，论文最后提出了未来与社会经济光谱上端家庭合作的建议。
Children of affluence are generally presumed to be at low risk. However, recent studies have suggested problems in several domains-notably, substance use, anxiety, and depression-and 2 sets of potential causes: pressures to achieve and isolation from parents. Recognizing the limited awareness of these issues, the objectives in this paper are to collate evidence on the nature of problems among the wealthy and their likely causes. The first half of the paper is focused on disturbances among affluent children and the second half is focused on characteristics of their families and neighborhoods. Widespread negative sentiments toward the rich are then discussed, and the paper concludes with suggestions for future work with families at the upper end of the socioeconomic spectrum.
