本研究的目的是检验个体风险因素和风险因素的数量（累积风险）是否能预测儿童在童年中期的外化行为。466名欧洲裔美国人和100名非洲裔美国人的男孩和女孩从广泛的社会经济水平的样本从5岁到10岁。在研究开始时，使用家庭访谈测量了来自四个领域（儿童，社会文化，父母养育和同伴相关）的20个风险变量，并进行了外部化行为的年度评估。与过去的研究一致，外化行为问题的个体差异随着时间的推移是稳定的，并与个体风险因素以及存在的风险因素的数量有关。在外部化结果中，特定风险占方差的36%至45%，存在的风险数量（累积风险状态）占方差的19%至32%;累积风险与随后的外部化相关，即使在初始外部化水平得到统计控制后。风险变量的所有四个领域都对这一统计预测做出了重要的独特贡献，并且有多个风险集群导致类似的结果。也有证据表明，这一预测是缓和的种族群体的地位，大多数的预测外化被发现为欧洲裔美国儿童。然而，这种调节效应取决于模型中包含的预测变量和结果变量。
The aim of this study was to test whether individual risk factors as well as the number of risk factors (cumulative risk) predicted children's externalizing behaviors over middle childhood. A sample of 466 European American and 100 African American boys and girls from a broad range of socioeconomic levels was followed from age 5 to 10 years. Twenty risk variables from four domains (child, sociocultural, parenting, and peer-related) were measured using in-home interviews at the beginning of the study, and annual assessments of externalizing behaviors were conducted. Consistent with past research, individual differences in externalizing behavior problems were stable over time and were related to individual risk factors as well as the number of risk factors present. Particular risks accounted for 36% to 45% of the variance, and the number of risks present (cumulative risk status) accounted for 19% to 32% of the variance, in externalizing outcomes; Cumulative risk was related to subsequent externalizing even after initial levels of externalizing had been statistically controlled. All four domains of risk variables made significant unique contributions to this statistical prediction, and there were multiple clusters of risks that led to similar outcomes. There was also evidence that this prediction was moderated by ethnic group status, most of the prediction of externalizing being found for European American children. However, this moderation effect varied depending on the predictor and outcome variables included in the model.
