荷尔蒙应激反应的幅度和持续时间在生物体的整个生命周期中发生巨大变化。虽然我们对成年期应激反应的调节因素以及新生儿的发育和衰老如何影响应激反应了解很多，但我们对青少年向成年人过渡期间应激反应的变化知之甚少。最近的研究表明，在青春期的男孩和女孩的压力是一个重要的因素，有助于个人的脆弱性，各种神经心理功能障碍，包括焦虑，抑郁和药物滥用。因此，了解在发展的关键时期暴露于压力源如何导致负面后果至关重要。越来越多的文献表明，青春期生物的反应差异，生理和行为，压力相比，成年人。因此，本次审查的目的是讨论最近的研究结果关于青春期成熟的压力反应，同时也强调未来的研究方向，这将有助于我们了解压力和青少年的心理健康和发展。(C)2010 Wiley Periodicals，Inc.

The magnitude and duration of the hormonal stress response change dramatically throughout an organism's lifespan. Although much is known about the factors that modulate stress reactivity during adulthood and how neonatal development and aging influence stress responsiveness, we know relatively little about how stress reactivity changes during the juvenile to adult transition. Recent studies in adolescent boys and girls have suggested that stress is an important factor contributing to an individual's vulnerability to various neuropsychological dysfiurctions, including anxiety, depression, and drug abuse. Thus, understanding how exposure to stressors during tins crucial period of development lead to negative consequences is of paramount importance. A growing body of literature indicates that pubertal organisms react differentially, both physiologically and behaviorally, to a stressor compared to adults. The purpose of this review, therefore, is to discuss the recent findings regarding the pubertal maturation of stress reactivity, while also highlighting future research directions that will aid in our understanding of stress and adolescent mental health and development.
