The special section on "Stress Sensitivity in Psychopathology: Mechanisms and Consequences" presents an array of articles and results across samples of children, adolescents, and adults that are at once exciting for the field and challenging. The articles highlight an empirically and conceptually important topic in psychopathology- the role of stress. For many years, this topic was mainly a focus of depression research but has now widened to include relevance to a variety of forms of psychological disorders, as shown in this special section. In addition to the applications to many different disorders, our field of psychopathology is enriched by highlighting the remarkable range of naturalistic and experimental paradigms for studying stress processes in humans, and to learn about diverse conceptual models. The authors of the articles in this special section have given us much food for thought in their innovative studies, and their work provides fruitful guides for next steps. It is to be hoped that such work points to future integrative and collaborative studies, across levels of analyses, methods, and samples that will further elaborate on the associations between stress and psychopathology, as well as the mechanisms that have relevance to the advancement of knowledge of disorders and their treatment.
“精神病理学中的应激敏感性：机制与后果”这一特别版块展示了一系列涉及儿童、青少年和成人样本的文章及研究结果，这些内容对该领域而言既令人兴奋又具有挑战性。这些文章突出了精神病理学中一个在实证和概念上都很重要的主题——应激的作用。多年来，这个主题主要是抑郁症研究的重点，但如今已扩展到涵盖与多种心理障碍形式的相关性，本特别版块就展示了这一点。除了应用于许多不同的障碍之外，通过突出用于研究人类应激过程的自然主义和实验范式的显著范围，并了解不同的概念模型，我们的精神病理学领域也得到了丰富。本特别版块中文章的作者们在其创新性研究中给我们提供了很多值得思考的内容，他们的工作为后续步骤提供了富有成效的指导。希望这样的工作能指向未来跨分析水平、方法和样本的综合与合作研究，这将进一步阐述应激与精神病理学之间的关联，以及与疾病知识及其治疗进展相关的机制。
