Sluggish Cognitive Tempo (SCT) refers to a group of symptoms that includes excessive daydreaming, inactivity, and mental fogginess. SCT symptoms are associated with considerable impairment at home and work, increased suicidality, and a high risk of internalizing disorders. While SCT research has advanced significantly over the last decade, research on the environmental and biological underpinnings of the symptoms is urgently needed. The current investigation aims to provide insight into the psychological and biological basis of SCT in four ways: by establishing its validity in a population-based sample, by exploring how life stress leads to SCT symptoms in adolescents, by analyzing the role of SCT on an in-vivo stress task, and lastly, by examining SCT’s functional impact during a major life stressor. Each study makes use of data from a large multi-site longitudinal study of children, adolescents, and young people at high risk of life stress.
