Journal ArticleDOI
Biological sensitivity to context: I. An evolutionary–developmental theory of the origins and functions of stress reactivity
W. Thomas Boyce,Bruce J. Ellis +1 more
TL;DR: Theoretical perspectives generate a novel hypothesis: that there is a curvilinear, U-shaped relation between early exposures to adversity and the development of stress-reactive profiles, with high reactivity phenotypes disproportionately emerging within both highly stressful and highly protected early social environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential susceptibility to the environment: an evolutionary--neurodevelopmental theory.
Bruce J. Ellis,W. Thomas Boyce,Jay Belsky,Marian J. Bakermans-Kranenburg,Marinus H. van IJzendoorn +4 more
TL;DR: The differential susceptibility paradigm has far-reaching implications for understanding whether and how much child and adult development responds, for better and for worse, to the gamut of species-typical environmental conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fundamental Dimensions of Environmental Risk : The Impact of Harsh versus Unpredictable Environments on the Evolution and Development of Life History Strategies.
TL;DR: This review demonstrates the value of applying a multilevel evolutionary-developmental approach to the analysis of a central feature of human phenotypic variation: LH strategy, and converging lines of evidence support core assumptions of the theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Adaptive Calibration Model of stress responsivity.
TL;DR: The Adaptive Calibration Model is presented, an evolutionary-developmental theory of individual differences in the functioning of the stress response system that extends the theory of biological sensitivity to context (BSC) and provides an integrative framework for future research in the field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Timing of Pubertal Maturation in Girls: An Integrated Life History Approach.
TL;DR: 5 middle-level theories--energetics theory, stress-suppression theory, psychosocial acceleration theory, paternal investment theory, and child development theory--each of which applies the basic assumptions of life history theory to the question of environmental influences on timing of puberty in girls are reviewed.
