Rejection sensitivity is associated with social-emotional maladjustment in both childhood and adulthood. However, less is known about the etiology of rejection sensitivity. The present study tests an etiological model for rejection sensitivity using a high-risk sample ( N = 227) with prospective data from infancy (i.e., 12 months) to adolescence (i.e., eighth grade). Evidence for social learning and attachment theories was demonstrated. In particular, family and parenting factors, such as family conflict and maternal harshness, were predictive of rejection sensitivity in adolescence. Implications for intervention and prevention efforts are discussed.
拒绝敏感性在儿童期和成年期都与社会情感失调有关。然而，对于拒绝敏感性的病因知之甚少。本研究使用从婴儿期（即 12 个月）到青春期（即八年级）的前瞻性数据，对拒绝敏感性的病因模型进行了测试，该模型针对的是高危样本（N=227）。研究结果证明了社会学习和依恋理论的证据。具体而言，家庭和养育因素，如家庭冲突和母亲的严厉，可预测青春期的拒绝敏感性。讨论了干预和预防工作的意义。
