Beyond diathesis stress: differential susceptibility to environmental influences.

Psychological bulletin - 1 Nov 2009

Belsky Jay, Pluess Michael

Abstract excerpt

Evolutionary-biological reasoning suggests that individuals should be differentially susceptible to environmental influences, with some people being not just more vulnerable than others to the negative effects of adversity, as the prevailing diathesis-stress view of psychopathology (and of many environmental influences) maintains, but also disproportionately susceptible to the beneficial effects of supportive and...
