Research paper thumbnail of Interviews with Children Who Experienced Major Life Stress: Family and Child Attributes that Predict Resilient Outcomes

Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, 1992

Demographically comparable groups of children exposed to major life-stress, with stress resilient... more Demographically comparable groups of children exposed to major life-stress, with stress resilient (SR) and stress affected (SA) outcomes at ages 10 to 12, were interviewed to assess perceptions of their caregiving environments, peer relationships, and themselves. SR children compared with SA children reported more: (1) positive relationships with primary caregivers, (2) stable family environments, (3) inductive and consistent family discipline practices, and (4) positive expectations for their futures. SR girls viewed their mothers as more nurturing than did SA girls. Perceptions of fathers, quality of peer relationships, and global self-concept did not differentiate the groups. A discriminant function analysis identified four variables that correctly classified 74% of the subjects as SR or SA. Findings support the view that caregiver-child relationships playa key role in moderating children's developmental outcomes under conditions of high stress.
