Dante Cicchetti's remarkable contributions to the field of developmental psychopathology include the advancement of key principles such as the interplay of typical and atypical development, multifinality and equifinality, the dynamic processes of resilience, and the integration of multiple levels of analysis into developmental theories. In this paper we assert that person-centered data analytic methods are particularly well-suited to advancing these tenets of developmental psychopathology. We illustrate their utility with a brief novel empirical study focused on underlying patterns of childhood neuroendocrine regulation and prospective links with emerging adult functioning. Results indicate that a childhood neuroendocrine profile marked by high diurnal cortisol paired with low diurnal DHEA was uniquely associated with more adaptive functioning in emerging adulthood. We discuss these findings, and person-centered methods more broadly, within the future of developmental psychopathology.
但丁·西凯提对发展性心理病理学领域做出了卓越贡献，其中包括推动了一些关键原则的发展，如典型与非典型发展的相互作用、多终性和等终性、复原力的动态过程，以及将多层次分析整合到发展理论中。在本文中，我们认为以人为主的数据分析方法特别适合推进发展性心理病理学的这些原则。我们通过一项简短的新颖实证研究来说明它们的效用，该研究聚焦于儿童神经内分泌调节的潜在模式以及与成年后新出现功能的前瞻性联系。结果表明，以日间皮质醇水平高且日间脱氢表雄酮水平低为特征的儿童神经内分泌特征与成年早期更具适应性的功能独特相关。我们在发展性心理病理学的未来背景下讨论这些发现以及更广泛意义上的以人为主的方法。
