Skin-deep resilience, in which youth overcome adversity and achieve success in psychological and academic domains but at a cost to their physiological well-being, has been documented in late adolescence and adulthood. However, its potential to emerge at earlier developmental stages is unknown. To address this gap, secondary data analyses were executed using waves 1 and 2 of the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study (n = 7712; ages 9-10 years at baseline [mean: 9.92; SD = 0.63]; 47.1% female; 66.1% White, 13.4% Black, and 20.6% Hispanic). The results indicated high levels of executive functioning were associated with improved psychological and behavioral outcomes at one-year follow-up. However, for racial and ethnic minority (i.e., Black or Hispanic) youth from disadvantaged neighborhoods, high levels of executive functioning were also associated with accelerated pubertal development. No significant interaction was observed among White youth. The findings suggest the skin-deep resilience pattern may be evident in early adolescence.
表面韧性是指青少年克服逆境，在心理和学业领域取得成功，但却以牺牲自身生理健康为代价，这种现象在青少年晚期和成年期已有记载。然而，它在更早发育阶段出现的可能性尚不清楚。为了填补这一空白，我们利用青少年大脑认知发展研究的第1波和第2波数据进行了二次数据分析（n = 7712；基线年龄9至10岁[平均：9.92；标准差 = 0.63]；47.1%为女性；66.1%为白人，13.4%为黑人，20.6%为西班牙裔）。结果表明，高水平的执行功能与一年随访时心理和行为结果的改善相关。然而，对于来自弱势社区的少数族裔（即黑人或西班牙裔）青少年来说，高水平的执行功能也与青春期发育加速有关。在白人青少年中未观察到显著的相互作用。研究结果表明，表面韧性模式可能在青春期早期就很明显。
