In the present longitudinal study, early adopted children (N = 160) were followed from infancy to adolescence to assess the influence of previous and concurrent factors on the children's social development. This study allowed for more conclusive evidence of the influence of early and concurrent rearing experiences and temperament on adolescents' social development, independent of shared genetic factors between children and parents. Results showed that social development and temperament were stable over time and that both previous and current parental sensitivity were important in predicting social development in adolescence. Quality of the early parent-child relationship was indirectly associated with social development in adolescence through the influence on social development in middle childhood. Maternal sensitivity in middle childhood and in adolescence partly buffered the negative effects of difficult temperament on social development in adolescence. Adaptation emerged as the product of both developmental history and current circumstances.
在本纵向研究中，对160名早期被收养儿童从婴儿期到青春期进行追踪，以评估先前和同时期因素对儿童社会发展的影响。这项研究提供了更确凿的证据，证明早期和同时期的养育经历及气质对青少年社会发展的影响，而不受儿童与父母之间共享遗传因素的影响。结果表明，社会发展和气质随时间推移较为稳定，先前和当前父母的敏感性对预测青少年的社会发展都很重要。早期亲子关系的质量通过对童年中期社会发展的影响，与青少年期的社会发展间接相关。童年中期和青春期母亲的敏感性部分缓冲了困难气质对青少年社会发展的负面影响。适应是发展历程和当前环境共同作用的结果。
