Differential susceptibility refers to the concept that children may be more or less responsive to different parenting strategies based on their individual temperament. This means that the same parenting approach may have very different effects on different children, depending on their temperament. Children with easy temperaments may respond positively to positive parenting behaviors such as warmth and support, while children with difficult temperaments may be more susceptible to negative effects from harsh or inconsistent parenting behaviors.
