We tested whether neighborhood greenness is a promotive and/ or a protective factor in the development of adolescent externalizing behavior problems and explored a possible mechanism of its effects via respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) recovery after stress. Data from a longitudinal multi-method study on adolescents (N=715) was used. Result showed that neighborhood greenness was neither a promotive nor a protective factor. However, adolescents who reported more stressful life events showed more externalizing behavior and-contrary to our expectation-this effect was stronger for adolescents who grew up in greener neighborhoods (vs. less green neighborhoods).
