Reports follow-up study of 181 young highly stressed urban children, classified asstress-resilient (SR) and stress-affected (SA) 1½–2 years earlier. At follow-up(T2), children were retested on five initial (T1) test measures:self-rated adjustment, perceived competence, social problem solving, realistic controlattributions, and empathy; parents and teachers did new child adjustment ratings, and parentsparticipated in a phone interview focusing on the T1–T2interval. Child test and adjustment measures and parent interview responses at T2sensitively differentiated children classified as SR and SA at T1. Test andinterview variables used at T1 and T2 correlated moderately acrosstime periods. At T2, four child test indicators (i.e., rule conformity, globalself-worth, social problem solving, and realistic control attributions) and four parent interviewvariables (positive future expectations for the child, absence of predelinquency indicators, goodparent mental health in the past year, and adaptive parent coping strategies) sensitivelydifferentiated children classified as SR and SA at T1. No relationship was foundbetween family stress experienced in the T1–T2 intervaland changes in children's adjustment during that period.
