我们研究“主观风化”进入成年期的女性，使用三波全国性的研究。主观老化是老化的一个社会心理组成部分，与以前在身体健康研究中观察到的“身体老化”有关。我们研究了童年和青春期的压力源对成年后主观风化和抑郁症状的影响。正如物理风化研究所预测的那样，儿童期虐待与初潮早期有关。初潮早和虐待儿童反过来又与青少年时期遭受亲密伴侣暴力有关。初潮早和亲密伴侣暴力都与过早为人父母有关，并减少高中毕业的可能性。这些经历最终导致与成年期出现的抑郁症状相关的主观风化。我们的研究结果连接物理和主观风化的压力过程中的范例。
We examine "subjective weathering" among females entering adulthood, using three waves of a national study. Subjective weathering is a social psychological component of aging that is associated with "physical weathering" previously observed in research on physical health. We examine the influence of stressors from childhood and adolescence on subjective weathering and depressive symptoms in emerging adulthood. Childhood abuse is associated with early menarche, as anticipated in research on physical weathering. Early menarche and child abuse are in turn associated with intimate partner violence exposure in adolescence. Both early menarche and intimate partner violence are associated with early parenthood and diminish the likelihood of high school graduation. These experiences culminate in subjective weathering associated with depressive symptoms in emerging adulthood. Our findings connect physical and subjective weathering within the stress process paradigm.
