There has been significant progress in understanding the effects of childhood poverty on neurocognitive development. This captured attention policymakers and promoted progressive policy reform. However, prevailing emphasis harms associated with may have inadvertently perpetuated a deficit-based narrative, focused presumed shortcomings children families poverty. focus can unintended consequences for (e.g., overlooking strengths) as well public discourse focusing individual rather than systemic factors). Here, we join scientists across disciplines arguing more well-rounded, "strength-based" approach, which incorporates positive and/or adaptive developmental responses to experiences social disadvantage. Specifically, first show value this approach normative brain development diverse human environments. We then highlight its application educational policy, explore pitfalls ethical considerations, offer practical solutions conducting strength-based research responsibly. Our paper re-ignites old recent calls paradigm shift, cognitive neuroscience. also unique perspective from new generation early-career researchers engaged work, several whom themselves grown up conditions Ultimately, argue that balanced scientific will be essential building effective policies.

Although positive childhood experiences (PCEs) may serve as protective factors against the negative consequences of adversity, they have been less extensively studied. However, more recently, there has a growing interest in understanding role these experiences. This systematic review aims to address this research gap by systematizing existing literature on PCEs and examining their relationship with both outcomes. A comprehensive search databases such B-On, PsycINFO, PubMed, SCOPUS, Scielo identified 87 studies that met inclusion criteria. Different employed various designs samples investigate between adult The findings suggest higher levels are consistently associated better mental health outcomes, decreased depressive symptoms, anxiety, suicidal behaviors, well improved psychosocial well-being, including reduced perceived stress increased life satisfaction. Conflicting results were found for behavioral physical health, stressful events, parenting family functioning. In addition, interaction effect adverse (ACEs) adulthood is inconsistent. ACEs appear be independent sets often coexist, frequently not moderating adversity More diverse needed understand PCEs.

Background: Autistic youth experience high rates of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), although it is critical to extend this work by further identifying the ACEs most commonly reported adults. We know less about benevolent (BCEs) among adults and how they are associated with psychosocial outcomes. The current study aimed (1) identify BCEs, (2) evaluate related for non-autistic adults, (3) BCEs outcomes (i.e., trauma symptoms, resilience, treatment utilization, vulnerable life [VLE]) across adults.Methods: A total 276 (Mage = 29 years, Mincome 34,935 U.S. dollars, 46.4% cisgender men, 74.3% White) 361 45.69 56,753 49.9% women, 66.2% completed an online survey. Participants provided information demographic history characteristics (age, income, gender, race/ethnicity, use), checklist measures self-report scales assessing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms (Posttraumatic Symptom Checklist DSM-5, PCL-5), resilience (Brief Resilience Scale), broader trauma-related service (VLE scale).Results: more fewer than even when accounting differences. were weakly moderately a similar degree groups. differentially Child maltreatment higher PTSD VLEs, use services. lower VLEs services.Conclusion: trauma-focused supports should seek facilitate improve positive youth.
