糖尿病作为慢性应激源，负性生活事件(NLEs)作为离散应激源，与儿童的行为适应以及家庭环境的调节作用有关。糖尿病和NLES预示着更高的内在性(INT)和外部性(EXT)行为问题，暗示着非特异性痛苦。更高的家庭冲突和更低的凝聚力都预示着更多的行为问题(INT-EXT)。然而，冲突是压力源的唯一调节因素。更高的家庭冲突和糖尿病加剧了儿童的EXT行为问题，临床得分较高。更高的家庭冲突和更高的NLEs导致临床上INT-EXT行为的升高。反之，则是低。家庭冲突保护儿童的行为功能不受压力源的影响。家庭凝聚力是孩子社交能力的唯一预测因素，但并不能缓解压力。
Diabetes, as a chronic stressor, and negative life events (NLEs), as a discrete stressor, were related to children's behavioral adjustment, along with moderating effects of the family environment. Diabetes and NLEs predicted both higher internalizing (INT) and externalizing (EXT) behavior problems, suggestive of nonspecific distress. Higher family conflict and lower cohesion each predicted more behavior problems (INT-EXT). However, conflict was the sole moderator of the stressors. Higher family conflict and diabetes exacerbated children's EXT behavior problems, with clinically elevated scores. Higher family conflict and higher NLEs resulted in clinically elevated INT-EXT behaviors. Conversely, low. family conflict protected children's behavioral functioning from the stressors. Family cohesion was the sole predictor of children's social competencies but did not moderate the stressors.
