Stressvolle gebeurtenissen en veranderingen in temperament tijdens de vroege en midden adolescentie: de trails studie

  • Published:
Kind & Adolescent

samenvatting

Deze studie onderzoekt hoe stressvolle gebeurtenissen gerelateerd zijn aan afwijkingen van normatieve temperamentontwikkeling tijdens de adolescentie. Temperament werd gemeten bij 1197 adolescenten op 11- en op 16-jarige leeftijd. Stressvolle gebeurtenissen werden onderzocht met behulp van een interview. Normatieve veranderingen kwamen naar voren met betrekking tot alle temperamentstrekken. Daarnaast werd er een lineaire relatie gevonden tussen blootstelling aan stressvolle gebeurtenissen en veranderingen in temperament. Adolescenten die stressvolle gebeurtenissen hadden meegemaakt lieten kleinere dalingen zien in Angst en Verlegenheid, grotere dalingen in Aandachtsregulatie en Affiliatie en kleinere stijgingen in Sensatiezucht. Bovendien was blootstelling aan stressvolle gebeurtenissen gerelateerd aan stijgingen in plaats van dalingen in Frustratie. Uit de resultaten komt naar voren dat, terwijl normatieve ontwikkeling meestal in de richting van een meer volwassen temperament gaat, adolescenten die stressvolle gebeurtenissen hebben meegemaakt minder maturatie van hun temperament laten zien.
