Culture plays a pivotal role in adaptive and maladaptive development. However, culture remains disconnected from theory, research, training, assessment, and interventions in developmental psychopathology, limiting our understanding of the genesis and epigenesis of mental health. Cultural development and psychopathology research can help overcome this limitation by focusing on the elucidation of cultural risk, protective, and promotive factors, at the individual and social levels, that initiate, derail, or maintain trajectories of normal and abnormal behavior. The goal of this Special Issue is to showcase research on the association between culture, development, and psychopathology that investigates equifinality and multifinality in cultural development, the interplay between culture and biology, cultural assessment and interventions, and cultural differences and similarities.
文化在适应性和不良性发展中起着关键作用。然而，文化在发展心理学病理学中仍然与理论、研究、培训、评估和干预脱节，限制了我们对心理健康的起源和发生的理解。文化发展和精神病理学研究可以通过关注个体和社会层面上阐明文化风险、保护和促进因素，来克服这一局限性，这些因素会启动、使轨迹脱轨或维持正常和异常行为的轨迹。本期特刊的目的是展示文化、发展和精神病理学之间的关联研究，这些研究调查了文化发展中的等效性和多效性、文化与生物学的相互作用、文化评估和干预，以及文化的差异和相似性。
