Recent investigations highlighted the role of within-person pubertal changes for adolescents' behavior. Yet, little is known about effects on adolescents' daily affect, particularly regarding the hormonal changes underlying physical changes during puberty. In a study with 148 boys aged 10 to 20years, we tested whether within-person physical and hormonal changes over eight months predicted everyday affect fluctuations, measured with experience sampling. As expected, greater within-person changes in testosterone (but not in dehydroepiandrosterone) were associated with higher affect fluctuations in daily life. Additionally, greater physical changes predicted higher affect fluctuations for individuals in the beginning of puberty. The findings demonstrate the relevance of physical and hormonal changes in boys' affective (in)stability.
近期的调查突出了个体内部青春期变化对青少年行为的作用。然而，对于其对青少年日常情绪的影响，尤其是青春期身体变化背后的激素变化，我们知之甚少。在一项针对148名年龄在10至20岁男孩的研究中，我们测试了八个月内个体内部的身体和激素变化是否能预测通过经验抽样法测量的日常情绪波动。正如预期的那样，个体内部睾酮（而非脱氢表雄酮）的更大变化与日常生活中更高的情绪波动相关。此外，更大的身体变化预示着青春期开始阶段个体的情绪波动会更高。这些发现证明了男孩身体和激素变化在其情感（不）稳定性方面的相关性。
