Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: This study used longitudinal data from a sample of low-income mothers and their children to examine how informal support and obligation, or informal networks, contribute to children\'s behavior. We also tested the potential mediating role of maternal parenting stress.
UNASSIGNED: Many studies document the importance of informal support for maternal stress and child behavior to offset the negative impact of poverty for low-income families. Evidence suggests the importance of also considering the obligations that such informal support access may impart.
UNASSIGNED: Using data from the Welfare, Children, Families Study, a longitudinal study of diverse, low-income, urban mothers in three cities (n = 2,142), we used a parallel process latent growth curve model approach to examine how informal support and obligation contributed to maternal stress and child behavior.
UNASSIGNED: Models indicated that mothers with healthy safety nets, including informal support and manageable obligations, had children with fewer behavior problems, and parenting stress partially accounted for the positive effects.
UNASSIGNED: Results highlight the importance of considering reciprocity norms among low-income mothers; one-sided support or obligation can be problematic for both maternal stress and child behavior problems.
UNASSIGNED: Results suggest the merit of empirically supported interventions to teach relationship skills and facilitate healthy relationships among low-income mothers.
摘要:
UNASSIGNED:这项研究使用了来自低收入母亲及其子女样本的纵向数据,以检查非正式支持和义务如何,或者非正式的网络,有助于孩子的行为。我们还测试了母亲育儿压力的潜在中介作用。
UNASSIGNED:许多研究记录了非正式支持产妇压力和儿童行为的重要性,以抵消贫困对低收入家庭的负面影响。有证据表明,也必须考虑这种非正式支助可能赋予的义务。
未经评估:使用福利部门的数据,孩子们,家庭研究,对多样性的纵向研究,低收入,三个城市的城市母亲(n=2142),我们使用并行过程潜在增长曲线模型方法来研究非正式支持和义务如何导致母亲的压力和儿童行为。
未经评估:模型表明,拥有健康安全网的母亲,包括非正式支持和可管理的义务,孩子的行为问题较少,和育儿压力部分占积极影响。
UNASSIGNED:结果强调了考虑低收入母亲之间互惠规范的重要性;单方面的支持或义务可能对产妇压力和儿童行为问题都有问题。
UNASSIGNED:结果表明,经验支持的干预措施可以教授关系技能并促进低收入母亲之间的健康关系。
