Disturbed sleep is detrimental to child behavior; however, the precise means by which this association occurs is unclear. Sleep and resilience can theoretically share an underlying neural mechanism and therefore influence one another. However, the role of resilience in the association between sleep and behavior is not known. The associations between sleep, resilience, and problematic behavior in children and adolescents aged 7-18 years were investigated in this study.
A correlational design was used to determine the relationships between total sleep problems, indices of resilience, and internalizing and externalizing behaviors.
Sleep problems and resiliency variables were strongly correlated, and further, sleep problems were found to be predictive of resiliency scores. Resiliency significantly mediated the relationship between increased sleep problems and both overall internalizing and externalizing behavior problems, and specifically, measures of depression and anxiety.
Sleep impacted levels of resilience such that greater sleep disturbance reduced resilience and consequently increased problematic behavior, potentially predisposing individuals to psychopathology.
睡眠紊乱对儿童行为有害;然而,这种关联的确切发生方式尚不清楚。睡眠和适应力理论上可以共享一个潜在的神经机制,因此可以相互影响。然而,适应力在睡眠与行为之间的关联中的作用尚不清楚。本研究旨在探讨 7-18 岁儿童和青少年的睡眠、适应力与问题行为之间的关系。
采用相关性设计来确定总睡眠问题、适应力指标与内化和外化行为之间的关系。
睡眠问题和适应力变量之间存在强烈的相关性,此外,睡眠问题可以预测适应力评分。适应力显著中介了睡眠问题增加与整体内化和外化行为问题的关系,特别是抑郁和焦虑的测量。
睡眠影响适应力水平,睡眠紊乱程度越严重,适应力越低,问题行为越多,这可能使个体更容易出现精神病理学。
