Aspects of DSH models have been examined in prior research, yet the vast majority has focused on the absence of negative environments and the lack of maladaptive outcomes.25 A primary way in which this work advances knowledge is expanding the study of genetic susceptibility among youth experiencing the full range of environmental contexts (from positive/supportive to negative/unsupportive parenting), and demonstrating that this GxE predicts both low–high levels of positive emotion. It is important to study youths' positive emotion because the full range, from low–high positive affect, is implicated in vulnerability to psychopathology and broad socio-emotional functioning.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
