Situations generated by high family risk have a negative effect on personal development, especially during preadolescence. Growing up in the presence of risk factors can lead to negative consequences on mental health or on school performance. The objective of this study focuses on individual factors related to this phenomenon during preadolescence. Specifically, we seek to establish whether level of family risk (high vs. low risk) is related to interpersonal problem-solving skills, executive function and learning potential in a sample of preadolescents controlling age, sex, total IQ, verbal comprehension ability and the classroom influences. The participants were 40 children, 23 boys and 17 girls between the ages of 7 and 12, twenty of which had a record on file with the Social and Childhood Protection Services of Information deleted to maintain the integrity of the review process, and therefore, a high family risk situation. The other 20 participants had a low family risk situation. Results show that the preadolescents from high family risk performed worse on interpersonal solving-problem skills and executive function (p < .05, b from -119,201.81 to 132,199.43, confidence interval from -162,589.78/-75,813.8 to 84,403.05/179,995.8). Nevertheless, they showed the same ability to learn as the participants from low family risk. These results highlight the negative effects of high family risk situation in preadolescents and give value of taking into account protective factors such as learning potential when assessing preadolescents from high family risk.
高家庭风险所产生的情况会对个人发展产生负面影响，尤其是在青春期前阶段。在风险因素的影响下成长可能会对心理健康或学业成绩产生负面后果。本研究的目的聚焦于青春期前阶段与这一现象相关的个体因素。具体而言，我们试图确定在控制年龄、性别、总智商、语言理解能力和课堂影响的前提下，家庭风险水平（高风险与低风险）是否与一群青春期前儿童的人际问题解决能力、执行功能和学习潜力相关。参与者为40名儿童，年龄在7至12岁之间，其中23名男孩，17名女孩。为了保持审查过程的完整性，其中20名儿童在社会和儿童保护服务机构的档案记录中的信息已被删除，因此他们处于高家庭风险状况。另外20名参与者处于低家庭风险状况。结果显示，来自高家庭风险的青春期前儿童在人际问题解决能力和执行功能方面表现更差（p < .05，b值从-119,201.81至132,199.43，置信区间从-162,589.78 / -75,813.8至84,403.05 / 179,995.8）。然而，他们与来自低家庭风险的参与者表现出相同的学习能力。这些结果凸显了高家庭风险状况对青春期前儿童的负面影响，并强调在评估来自高家庭风险的青春期前儿童时考虑诸如学习潜力等保护因素的重要性。
