Despite growing attention to resilience following childhood maltreatment, it remains unclear how the development of resilience unfolds over time among child welfare-involved adolescents. Further, little is known about the immediate and enduring effects of two important attachments in children's lives, namely caregiver-child relationship and deviant peer affiliation, on resilience development over time. This study sought to examine the ways in which caregiver-child relationships and deviant peer affiliation shape developmental trajectories of resilience among child welfare-involved youth. Data were drawn from the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being. Latent growth curve modeling was conducted on a sample of 711 adolescents. The results revealed that adolescents' resilience increased across a 36-month period since initial contact with Child Protective Services. Better caregiver-child relationships were associated with a higher initial level of resilience among adolescents, whereas higher deviant peer affiliation was associated with a lower initial level of resilience. Significant lagged effects were also found; caregiver-child relationship quality and deviant peer affiliation at baseline were associated with resilience at 18 months after. The findings suggest that interventions that aim to promote positive caregiver-child relationships and prevent deviant peer relationships may help foster resilience among adolescents who have experienced child maltreatment.
尽管人们越来越关注儿童期虐待后的复原力，但对于在儿童福利机构中成长的青少年，复原力的发展如何随时间推移而展开，目前仍不清楚。此外，人们对儿童生活中两个重要依恋关系，即照顾者-儿童关系和偏差同伴关系，对随时间推移的复原力发展的直接和持久影响知之甚少。本研究旨在探讨照顾者-儿童关系和偏差同伴关系如何影响儿童福利机构中青少年复原力的发展轨迹。数据来自全国儿童和青少年福利调查。对 711 名青少年的样本进行了潜在增长曲线建模。结果表明，自与儿童保护服务机构首次接触以来，青少年的复原力在 36 个月内有所提高。更好的照顾者-儿童关系与青少年初始复原力水平较高有关，而较高的偏差同伴关系与初始复原力水平较低有关。还发现了显著的滞后效应；基线时的照顾者-儿童关系质量和偏差同伴关系与 18 个月后的复原力有关。研究结果表明，旨在促进积极的照顾者-儿童关系和预防偏差同伴关系的干预措施可能有助于培养经历过儿童虐待的青少年的复原力。
