Abstract: We examined the relation between adversity, pubertal timing, and executive functioning skills in predicting adolescent psychopathology in the context of SES. Data from the Adolescent Behavior and Cognitive Development Study (ABCD) was leveraged to examine pathways leading to externalizing and internalizing symptoms. Findings highlight differential paths between sexes.
