e.g. 1 Possible explanations for thesedifferent results are that : the relatively small sample may have lacked powerto detect significant interactions; the studies included children across a wideage range; the younger children’s cognitive styles might not have beendeveloped yet; these studies assessed stress differently and used different measures ofcognitivevulnerability.
