psychopathology as an interaction between environmental risk factors and intra‐individual …

Statistical tests of differential susceptibility have become standard in the empirical literature,

This study focused on generality versus specificity of susceptibility of effects of eight family

Background Most gene‐environment interaction (GXE) research, though based on clear,
vulnerability‐oriented hypotheses, is carried out using exploratory rather than hypothesis …

Abstract Differential Impact Theory (DIT) can help explain which services and supports work
best for which young people at which levels of risk exposure. As a complement to a growing …

Evidence that adverse rearing environments exert negative effects particularly on children

In the current paper we present new empirical data and meta-analytic evidence for the role
