DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Aggressive marital conflict and harsh parenting (family aggression) are highly prevalent. Chronic exposure to family aggression elevates adolescents' risk for antisocial and risky behavior, depressed mood, and cognitive decrements - significant public health problems that increase in prevalence and severity during adolescence. Explaining variability in trajectories of adaptation in the context of family aggression - why some adolescent's exhibit resilience and others deteriorate - is a critical need for science and practice. Findings stemming from the proposed study will illuminate autonomic nervous system activity and sleep regulation variables (bioregulatory processes), as well as economic and social context (peer affiliation) variables, which may mediate the risk of family aggression or operate to exacerbate or protect against its effects on cognitive, emotional, and behavioral maladjustment from late childhood through late adolescence. The design builds on a well-characterized 3-wave study; children ranged between 8-11 years across waves. The proposed study will involve 3 additional waves with a 1-year lag: 50% girls, ~14-15 years at T4, with high representation of both African-American and lower SES families. Study constructs are assessed with multiple informants and measures. Sleep parameters are examined objectively, via actigraphy, and subjectively. ANS activity (sympathetic and parasympathetic) is measured with standard indices, and reactivity is assessed with well-established lab procedures. The large and diverse sample, breadth of measurement across important adolescent outcome domains, and a 6-wave longitudinal design will permit analyses of long- term developmental trajectories, interactions among biopsychosocial processes, and profiles of family, bioregulatory and socioecological risk. The proposed study will create new knowledge in areas of great significance through investigations of bioregularoty and socioecological variables that have the potential to enhance understanding of risk among adolescents exposed to family aggression and to identify physiological, behavioral, and ecological targets for intervention. Outcome variables include public health priorities, such as behavioral and emotional adjustment, academic performance (PA-07-046, Research on Mind-Body Interactions and Health), violence (PA-09-169, Research on Teen Dating Violence), and sleep disturbances (PA-07-140, Research on Sleep and Sleep Disorders). Hypotheses will be tested across a wide range of socioecological contexts with a diverse community sample (PA-07-379, Behavioral and Social Science Research on Understanding and Reducing Health Disparities). Other key strengths include our focus on estimating trajectories of adolescent functioning across multiple domains; considering the direction of effects between constructs; and comparing the strength of associations at different time points across development.

描述（由申请人提供）：积极的婚姻冲突和严厉的育儿（家庭侵略）非常普遍。长期接触家庭侵略的暴露会提高青少年对反社会和危险行为，情绪低落和认知能力下降的风险 - 青少年期间增加患病率和严重程度的重大公共卫生问题。在家庭侵略的背景下解释适应轨迹的变异性 - 为什么有些 青少年的展览韧性，而其他人则恶化 - 是科学和实践的迫切需求。拟议的研究造成的发现将阐明自主神经系统的活动和睡眠调节变量（生物调节过程）以及经济和社会环境（同伴隶属关系）变量，这可能会介导家庭侵略的风险或运作以介绍家庭侵略的风险 从童年后期到青春期后期，加剧或防止其对认知，情感和行为不良的影响。该设计基于一项良好的3波研究；儿童在波浪中介于8 - 11年之间。拟议的研究将涉及另外3个浪潮，其中1年滞后：50％的女孩，在T4时约14 - 15年，对非裔美国人和较低的SES家族的代表性很高。研究结构通过多个线人和措施进行评估。睡眠参数可以客观地检查，并主观地检查。通过标准指数测量ANS活动（交感神经和副交感神经），并通过建立良好的实验室程序评估反应性。大而多样化的样本，重要的青少年结果领域的测量广度以及6波纵向设计将允许分析长期发展轨迹，生物心理社会过程之间的相互作用以及家庭，生物调节和社会生态生态生态生态学风险。拟议的研究将通过研究生物质谱和社会生态生物学变量来创造具有重要意义领域的新知识，这些变量有可能增强暴露于家庭侵略的青少年中对风险的理解，并确定生理，行为和生态学目标的干预目标。结果变量包括公共卫生的重点，例如行为和情感调整，学业成绩（PA-07-046，思维体互动和健康研究），暴力（PA-09-169，对青少年约会暴力研究）和睡眠障碍（PA-07-140，对睡眠和睡眠障碍研究）。假设将在各种社会生态环境中进行测试，并具有多样化的社区样本（PA-07-379，关于理解和降低健康差异的行为和社会科学研究）。其他关键优势包括我们专注于估计跨多个领域的青少年功能的轨迹；考虑结构之间的效果方向；并比较开发过程中不同时间点的关联的强度。
