本研究采用3波多变量设计和发展级联分析方法，对134名4岁、10岁和14岁儿童的适应功能与外化和内化行为问题之间的关系进行了研究。青春期早期的适应功能通过儿童早期的适应功能和外化性行为问题来预测，两者都由儿童后期的适应功能和内化性行为问题所中介；青春期早期的外化性行为问题通过儿童早期的内在性行为问题来预测，其效应由儿童晚期的外在性行为问题来中介。这些发育级联是独立于儿童智力而获得的。旨在解决幼儿行为问题的战略性、适时和有针对性的干预措施可能会在增强适应能力青少年的流行病学方面收回投资。
Here, a 3-wave multivariate design and developmental cascade analysis were used to investigate pathways among adaptive functioning and externalizing and internalizing behavioral problems in a community sample of 134 children seen at 4, 10, and 14 years. Adaptive functioning in early adolescence was predicted by early childhood adaptive functioning and externalizing behavioral problems, with both effects mediated by late childhood adaptive functioning and internalizing behavioral problems; externalizing behavioral problems in early adolescence were predicted by early childhood internalizing behavioral problems with the effect mediated by late childhood externalizing behavioral problems. These developmental cascades were obtained independent of child intelligence. Strategically timed and targeted interventions designed to address young children's behavioral problems may return investment in terms of an enhanced epidemiology of adaptively functioning teens.
