This paper reviews studies that have tested for moderators or mediators of the relation between stressors and child and adolescent psychopathology. Many studies have tested for moderation, but results of research studying moderators have been inconclusive. There have been few theory-based studies and there have been few consistent findings. Far fewer studies have tested for mediation effects, but these studies have generally been theory-driven, have more often built upon one another in an incremental fashion, and have yielded consistent results. In particular, there is substantial evidence for the mediating role of family relationship in the relation between stressors and child and adolescent psychological symptoms. Future studies should integrate moderator and mediator research by testing for specific mediators in relation to particular moderating contexts, so that we can better understand the complex ways in which stressful life experiences affect the well-being of children and adolescents.
本文回顾了一些研究，这些研究检验了应激源与儿童及青少年精神病理学之间关系的调节因素或中介因素。许多研究检验了调节作用，但关于调节因素的研究结果尚无定论。基于理论的研究很少，且几乎没有一致的研究发现。检验中介效应的研究要少得多，但这些研究通常是理论驱动的，更多地以渐进的方式相互借鉴，并且得出了一致的结果。特别是，有大量证据表明家庭关系在应激源与儿童及青少年心理症状之间的关系中起中介作用。未来的研究应通过检验与特定调节情境相关的特定中介因素来整合调节因素和中介因素的研究，以便我们能更好地理解压力性生活经历影响儿童和青少年幸福感的复杂方式。
