这项纵向研究调查了 7 至 10 年级青春期男性的青春期（以青春期状态和时机来衡量）与调整问题（以外在敌意情绪和内在苦恼症状来衡量）之间的关系。结果显示，与身体发育较弱的同龄人相比，七年级时身体发育较好的男孩在 8 至 10 年级表现出更多外化敌意情绪和内化苦恼症状。青春期时机与内在苦恼和外在苦恼症状显着相关。敌对情绪。即使在控制了 7 级适应不良症状和并发的压力生活事件之后，这种关系仍然具有统计学意义。青春期时间和并发的压力生活事件之间出现了几种显着的相互作用效应。青春期过渡的显着长期影响，与压力生活经历和症状连续性无关，表明过去关于早熟对男性有利影响的无差别观点需要改变。
This longitudinal study examined the relation between puberty, as measured by both pubertal status and timing, and adjustment problems, as measured by externalized hostile feelings and internalized distress symptoms, among adolescent males in grades 7 through 10. The results showed that boys who were physically more developed in grade 7, compared with their less physically developed peers, manifested more externalized hostile feelings and internalized distress symptoms in grades 8 through 10. Pubertal timing was significantly related to both internalized distress and externalized hostile feelings. This relation remained statistically significant, even after controlling for grade 7 maladjustment symptoms and concurrent stressful life events. Several significant interaction effects emerged between pubertal timing and concurrent stressful life events. The significant long term effect of the pubertal transition, independent of stressful life experiences and symptom continuity suggests that the past undifferentiated view of the favorable influence of early maturation on males needs to be modified.
