Abstract
Do environmental factors and heritable influences affect child stress sensitivity and its subsequent impacts? This study revealed child’s stress sensitivity may vary depending on the rearing environment. Stress in the rearing environment was associated with children’s cortisol levels at age 4.5 and effortful control in early adolescence.
