现有的关于外化问题、内化问题与学术和社会能力之间相互作用的纵向研究已经记录了从早期攻击/破坏性行为到能力损害的“级联”效应，导致抑郁和焦虑症状。当前研究的主要目的是利用NICHD的早期儿童保育和青少年发展研究来复制这些工作，同时也将级联研究的发展窗口扩展到儿童早期。参与家庭（N = 1160）完成了外化、内化和社会能力（母亲报告）的问卷测量，以及学业成绩的个人评估，时间跨度为54个月至15岁。一系列嵌套的结构方程模型被测试预测跨能力和精神病理各个领域的联系。研究结果与先前的研究结果一致，证明了从早期外化问题到后来内化问题的学术和社会能力的跨领域影响。这种影响跨越性别，并且在很大程度上不受社会经济地位、早期照顾和早期认知能力作为模型协变量的影响。
Existing longitudinal research on the interplay between externalizing problems, internalizing problems, and academic and social competence has documented "cascading" effects from early aggressive/disruptive behavior through impairments in competence, leading to symptoms of depression and anxiety. The primary aim of the current study was to replicate such work using the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development while also extending the developmental window of investigation of cascades back into early childhood. Participating families (N = 1,160) completed questionnaire measure's of externalizing, internalizing, and social competence (maternal report), as well as individual assessment of academic achievement, spanning five time points from age 54 months through age 15 years. A series of nested structural equation models tested predicted links across various domains of competence and psychopathology. Results were consistent with prior research, demonstrating cross-domain effects from early externalizing problems through effects on both academic and social competence into later internalizing problems. Effects held across gender and were largely unaffected by inclusion of socioeconomic status, early caregiving, and early cognitive ability as covariates in the model.
