This study applies cumulative adversity and stress proliferation theories to examine risk and protective resource profiles of youth with three different levels of housing and parental care instability. Data derive from a state representative sample (n=27,087) of school-based adolescent students. ANCOVA analyses identified significant differences in sociodemographic and psychosocial functioning variables for youth with 0, 1, or 2 forms of housing and parental care instability, with more deleterious functioning being observed among youth with greater levels of instability. Those experiencing either or both housing and parental care instability are more represented by males, sexual minorities, and youth of color; psychosocial risk and protective factors demonstrated consistent differences between instability groups. Dimensions of cumulative adversity operate with social marginalities (e.g., race, sexual minority status) relative to instability, with higher frequency of victimization, lower grades, diminished self-regulation capabilities and school engagement, weakened psychological health, and strained family and peer relationships. The paper discusses theorized mechanisms through which cumulative adversity conveys effects as well as implications for social work prevention and resilience-fostering strategies in schools and other youth-serving settings.

How susceptible our daily affect is to fluctuations in physical health indicates how well we adapt to everyday health challenges. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are known to have a lasting impact on everyday emotion regulation and adaptation across the lifespan, but less is known about whether and how such adversity is linked to the susceptibility of affect to everyday health challenges. This study therefore tested whether ACEs were associated with daily reports of positive and negative affect and examined weather they moderated emotional reactions to daily physical symptoms in adulthood and old age.

Introduction: The present research applies the exposome approach for understanding Quality of life of +50 Europeans based on retrospective panel data. Our paper explores the cumulative influences of personality traits, childhood adversities, such as poor health in infancy, culturally deprived environments, poor mathematical performance, or reduced language skills, and undesired employment status along the life course on Quality of Life of +50 Europeans.
Methods: The study utilizes data from the SHARE (Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe), belonging to SHARELIFE (wave 3 and 7) and from the Working Life Histories retrospective panel (N = 5884).

Article Synopsis
- - Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have lasting mental health effects, but the impact of specific ACE patterns on cognitive function, particularly executive function, is not well understood.
- - A study of 2,515 college students in northern China identified three ACE patterns: low adversity, multiple adversity, and family environment adversity, with family environment adversity linked to executive function impairments.
- - The study found that focusing on specific ACE patterns rather than just cumulative scores offers a clearer picture of their effects, suggesting that targeted prevention strategies should be developed for different risk profiles.
