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.

TL;DR: This review focuses on biological and environmental factors implicated in the development of conduct problems and depression in boys and girls and considers male-like and female-like characteristics to explore how they inform biological andEnvironmental theories about gender and psychopathology.

TL;DR: The interrelation of multiple indices of puberty was examined, including the Pubertal Development Scale, a picture-based interview about puberty (PBIP), and a physical exam, finding multiple measures of puberty are viable options, each with respective strengths.

TL;DR: This study suggests ELS may shape the development of brain areas involved with emotion processing and regulation in similar ways, and differences in the amygdala and hippocampus may be a shared diathesis for later negative outcomes related to ELS.

TL;DR: It was shown that the cotton interference effect is of sufficient magnitude to attenuate the association between serum and saliva levels and the order of individual results from samples collected using cotton versus no-cotton methods for certain markers is not conserved, suggesting that for some biomarkers this collection method can be a significant source of unsystematic error.
