本研究利用一项为期6年的前瞻性纵向研究数据，对居住在中西部农村的青少年(215名男性，236名女性)的应激性生活经历、内化症状和外化行为进行了评估，调查了应激性生活事件与青少年适应不良之间的假设交互影响。从7年级到12年级，自回归分析表明，随着时间的推移，应激性生活事件和这两种形式的适应不良是相互关联的。例如，压力很大的生活事件可以显著预测一年内的犯罪行为。这反过来又显著地预测了一年后的紧张生活事件，反之亦然。这些发现为青少年积累的劣势提供了证据，这种劣势是问题情境和适应问题随着时间的推移相互强化的结果。
Investigated in this study were hypothesized reciprocal influences between stressful life events and adolescent maladjustment using data from a 6-year, prospective longitudinal study Stressful life experiences, internalizing symptoms, and externalizing behaviors were assessed for a sample of adolescents (215 males, 236 females) living in the rural Midwest. From 7th to 12th grades, autoregressive analyses showed that stressful life events and these two forms of maladjustment were reciprocally interrelated over time. For example, stressful life events at One point significantly predicted delinquent behaviors 1 year. later, which, in turn, significantly predicted stressful life events I year later, and vice versa. The findings provide evidence for the accumulating disadvantage for adolescents that results from the mutual reinforcement of problematic situations and adjustment problems over time.
