Hormone reactivity to stressors and hormones that rapidly change at puberty are hypothesized to influence moods, which may in turn affect parent-child relationship quality. The present study investigated whether reactivity of testosterone, DHEA, and cortisol in a clinic setting (venipuncture paradigm) predicted negative emotionality and family problems at Time 1 (0 months), Time 2 (6 months), and Time 3 (12 months) in a sample of 56 boys (M = 12.72, SD = 1.32 years) and 52 girls (M = 11.99, SD = 1.55 years). Reactivity of each hormone, negative emotionality, and family problems were measured at each of three laboratory visits. Testosterone reactivity at the first assessment predicted family problems one year later. DHEA stress reactivity was related to concurrent negative emotionality at six and 12 months. Cortisol reactivity did not predict negative emotionality or family problems. Reactivity of different hormones that change at puberty may play an important role in adolescent moods and family processes during puberty.
应激激素反应和青春期迅速变化的激素被假设会影响情绪，而情绪反过来又可能影响亲子关系质量。本研究调查了在 56 名男孩（M = 12.72，SD = 1.32 岁）和 52 名女孩（M = 11.99，SD = 1.55 岁）样本中，在诊所环境（静脉采血范式）中，睾酮、DHEA 和皮质醇的反应性是否预测了在时间 1（0 个月）、时间 2（6 个月）和时间 3（12 个月）的负性情绪和家庭问题。在三次实验室访问中，分别测量了每种激素、负性情绪和家庭问题的反应性。第一次评估中睾酮反应性预测了一年后的家庭问题。DHEA 应激反应与 6 个月和 12 个月时的负性情绪有关。皮质醇反应性与负性情绪或家庭问题无关。青春期变化的不同激素的反应性可能在青春期青少年的情绪和家庭过程中发挥重要作用。
