语言对于社会交往至关重要，这使得一些人认为早期的语言能力为良好的青少年心理健康铺平了道路。在英国的两个国家，研究了5岁词汇和青少年内化症状之间的关系。在性别、种族和社会经济地位方面具有全国代表性的出生队列：1970年英国队列研究（BCS;N= 11，640）和千禧年队列研究（MCS出生~2001年;N= 14，754）。在BCS中，没有观察到接受性词汇和16岁自我报告的症状之间的关系（β = 0.00 [-0.03; 0.03]）。在MCS中，更好的表达性词汇与更多的14岁自我报告症状相关（β = 0.05 [0.02; 0.07]）。对于父母报告的症状，这种影响的方向相反。所有效应量均较小。儿童词汇和内化症状之间的关系因代和报告者而异。
Language is vital for social interaction, leading some to suggest early linguistic ability paves the way for good adolescent mental health. The relation between age‐5 vocabulary and adolescent internalizing symptoms was examined in two U.K. birth cohorts that are nationally representative in terms of sex, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status: the 1970 British Cohort Study (BCS;N= 11,640) and the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS born ~2001;N= 14,754). In the BCS, no relation between receptive vocabulary and age‐16 self‐reported symptoms was observed (β = 0.00 [−0.03; 0.03]). In the MCS, better expressive vocabulary was associated withmoreage‐14 self‐reported symptoms (β = 0.05 [0.02; 0.07]). The direction of this effect was reversed for parent‐reported symptoms. All effect sizes were small. The relation between childhood vocabulary and internalizing symptoms varies by generation and reporter.
