目的：本文研究了青少年和青年期心理弹性的个人、家庭和邻里水平预测因素，并描述了受虐待和被忽视儿童在成长过程中从青少年到青年期心理弹性的变化。我们使用了1967年至1969年期间来自中西部县的儿童身体和性虐待和忽视的记录案例（n = 676）。1971年和信息从官方记录，人口普查数据，精神病评估，并通过1995年获得的自我报告。分析涉及逻辑回归，复制与Mplus测试可能的上下文effects.Results：几乎一半（48%）的虐待和忽视的儿童在青春期和近三分之一的青年成年人有弹性。在青春期有弹性的人中，超过一半的人在成年后仍然有弹性，而11%的非弹性青少年在成年后仍然有弹性。在这两个时期，女性更有可能具有弹性。作为白色，非西班牙裔减少和成长在一个稳定的生活环境中增加了弹性的可能性在青春期，但不是在年轻的成年。压力生活事件和支持性伴侣促进了年轻人的复原力。邻里优势并没有发挥直接的影响力的弹性，但缓和家庭的稳定性和弹性之间的关系，在青春期和认知能力和弹性之间的青年adult.Conclusions：生态因素似乎促进或干扰的出现和稳定的弹性以下儿童虐待。(C)2007爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Purpose: This paper examines individual, family, and neighborhood level predictors of resilience in adolescence and young adulthood and describes changes in resilience over time from adolescence to young adulthood in abused and neglected children grown up.Method: We use documented cases of childhood physical and sexual abuse and neglect (n = 676) from a Midwestern county area during the years 1967-1971 and information from official records, census data, psychiatric assessments, and self-reports obtained through 1995. Analyses involve logistic regressions, replicated with Mplus to test for possible contextual effects.Results: Almost half (48%) of the abused and neglected children in adolescence and nearly one-third in young adulthood were resilient. Over half of those who were resilient in adolescence remained resilient in young adulthood, whereas 11% of the non-resilient adolescents were resilient in young adulthood. Females were more likely to be resilient during both time periods. Being white, non-Hispanic decreased and growing up in a stable living situation increased the likelihood of resilience in adolescence, but not in young adulthood. Stressful life events and a supportive partner promoted resilience in young adulthood. Neighborhood advantage did not exert a direct effect on resilience, but moderated the relationship between household stability and resilience in adolescence and between cognitive ability and resilience in young adulthood.Conclusions: Ecological factors appear to promote or interfere with the emergence and stability of resilience following childhood maltreatment.
