The Role of Context in the Development of Psychopathology: A Conceptual Framework and Some Speculative Propositions
Abstract
Despite the explosion of studies assessing relations between various contextual factors and various forms of psychological disturbance, about the only firm conclusion one can draw regarding the environment's role in the development of psychopathology is that "bad" things have "bad" effects among some-but not all-people, some-but not all-of the time. We argue that extant research has confused two different roles of context and suggest that (1) environmental factors act as nonspecific stressors in the elicitation of psychopathology by provoking autonomic arousal, with specificity of expressed psychopathology governed by individual differences in endogenous factors; and that (2) context is specific in affecting the course of psychopathology by influencing the extent to which the behavioral, affective, or cognitive components of the pathology are repeated.

“The work conducted by El-Sheikh et al., (2013; 2009) is consistent with ecological (Mohr & Fantuzzo, 2000; Mohr et al., 2000) and contextual (Steinberg & Avenevoli, 2000) perspectives of developmental psychopathology documenting that adjustment problems in children who are exposed to IPV should not be considered as a simple function of toxic environmental conditions.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
