Abstract

Introduction: Executive functions (EF), encompassing inhibition, updating, and shifting, are widely acknowledged as cognitive factors that promote resilience. However, prior research examining the association between EF and resilience has been hampered by inconsistent conceptualizations of resilience and an overreliance on cross-sectional designs. We embraced a process-oriented conceptualization of resilience and employed a longitudinal approach to investigate how EF components interplay with the dynamic processes of resilience resources and resilient functioning.

Methods: A total of 144 Chinese preadolescents (aged 10-12, 53.5% male) completed computer-based EF assessments at baseline and self-reported their resilience at three intervals during 2019-2020. The resilience evaluations encompassed resilience resources at individual, familial, and social levels, as measured by the Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescents, and resilient functioning, operationalized as the residuals of socioemotional difficulties after accounting for stressful life events.

Results: The findings emphasized the dynamic nature of resilience, unveiling a developmental cascade from resilience resources to resilient functioning and back to resilience resources. Furthermore, distinct effects of EF components on resilience development were found. Specifically, inhibition was associated with both concurrent and long-term resilience resources and functioning, while updating predicted long-term resilience resources, and shifting predicted long-term resilient functioning.

Conclusion: These results underscored the pivotal role of EF as a cognitive foundation in comprehending the dynamic resilience processes during preadolescence.

前青少年的执行功能和复原力发展：复原力资源和复原力功能的级联模型。

导言执行功能（EF）包括抑制、更新和转移，被广泛认为是促进复原力的认知因素。然而，由于对复原力的概念理解不一致以及过度依赖横断面设计，以往对执行功能与复原力之间关系的研究受到了阻碍。我们采用了以过程为导向的抗逆力概念，并采用纵向方法来研究EF成分如何与抗逆力资源和抗逆力功能的动态过程相互作用：共有144名中国学龄前儿童（10-12岁，53.5%为男性）在基线时完成了基于计算机的抗逆力评估，并在2019-2020年期间的三次间隔期内对其抗逆力进行了自我报告。抗逆力评估包括个人、家庭和社会层面的抗逆力资源（由中国青少年抗逆力量表测量）以及抗逆力功能（在考虑生活压力事件后的社会情感困难残差）：研究结果强调了复原力的动态性质，揭示了从复原力资源到复原力功能再回到复原力资源的发展级联。此外，研究还发现了抗逆力发展过程中EF成分的不同影响。具体来说，抑制与当前和长期的抗逆力资源和功能相关，而更新预测了长期的抗逆力资源，转移预测了长期的抗逆力功能：这些结果强调了作为认知基础的EF在理解青春期前动态复原过程中的关键作用。
