Life Events Inventory for Adolescents

Family‐based care buffers the stress sensitizing effect of early deprivation on executive functioning difficulties in adolescence

“…Prior work suggests that stress sensitization may be stronger for independent compared with dependent SLEs in relation to psychopathology (Harkness et al, 2006;La Rocque et al, 2014;Young-Wolff et al, 2012). However, recent studies have provided mixed evidence with respect to whether there are stronger direct associations between independent versus dependent SLEs and mental health outcomes during adolescence (Moya-Higueras et al, 2020;Schneider et al, 2021). It has been shown that dependent SLEs have larger heritabilities than independent SLEs (Bemmels et al, 2008;Boardman et al, 2011;Johnson et al, 2013) and that there is a modest genetic correlation between dependent, but not independent, SLEs and EF (Morrison et al, 2021).…”
