Prior research has shown that adverse events in the lives of adolescents precipitate psychological distress, which in turn impairs self-control. This study (N = 1,343) examined the protective effects of stress mindsets-beliefs about the extent to which stress might be beneficial or strictly detrimental. The results confirmed that increasing the number of adverse life events across the school year predicted rank order increases in perceived distress, which in turn predicted rank order decreases in self-control. Adolescents who believed in the potential benefits of stress were less prone to feeling stressed in the wake of adverse life events. These findings suggest that changing the way adolescents think about stress may help protect them from acting impulsively when confronted with adversity.
先前的研究表明，青少年生活中的不良事件会引发心理困扰，而心理困扰反过来又会损害自我控制能力。本研究（N=1343）考察了压力思维模式的保护作用，即关于压力可能有益还是有害的信念。研究结果证实，整个学年不良生活事件的数量增加，预示着感知到的困扰程度呈等级上升，而自我控制程度呈等级下降。那些相信压力有潜在好处的青少年在遭遇不良生活事件后不太容易感到压力。这些发现表明，改变青少年对压力的看法可能有助于保护他们在面对逆境时不会冲动行事。
