Abstract

Abstract: The harmful effects of adverse childhood experiences(ACEs) on individual physical and mental health have been demonstrated in many aspects.In recent years,foreign studies have focused on the impact of parental ACEs on children and adolescents' psychological and behavior problems,and explored the role of many social psychological and biological factors in the relationship between them.This study reviews the intergenerational effects of parental ACEs on children and adolescents' psychological behavior and analyzes the possible mechanism,so as to provide reference for promoting children and adolescents' physical and mental health.

Key words: adverse childhood experiences, intergenerational effect, children, adolescent, mental health

摘要： 童年期不良经历(ACEs)对个体身心健康的危害已得到多方面论证,近年来,国外有研究关注到父母ACEs对儿童青少年心理行为的影响,并探讨了诸多社会心理学和生物学因素在两者关联中的作用。本文综述了父母ACEs对儿童青少年心理行为的代际作用,并分析关联的可能机制,为促进儿童青少年身心健康提供参考依据。
