Though often discussed as though it were a discrete event, puberty comprises one segment of a larger developmental continuum and is notable for rapid transformation across a multitude of domains. Research suggests that an earlier rate of pubertal maturation in girls correlates with a number of detrimental outcomes compared with on-time or later maturation. The present review synthesizes the research on negative psychological sequelae of early pubertal timing in adolescent girls. Emphasis is on three theoretical perspectives by which precocious development is believed to affect the emergence of adverse outcomes: biological, psychosocial, and selection effects.
尽管青春期常常被当作一个离散事件来讨论,但它实际上是一个更大的发育连续体的一部分,其显著特点是在多个领域迅速转变。研究表明,与适时或较晚成熟的女孩相比,青春期较早成熟的女孩会出现一系列有害后果。本综述综合了有关青春期女孩过早发育的负面心理后遗症的研究。重点关注早熟被认为会影响不良后果出现的三个理论视角:生物学、心理社会和选择效应。
