Mexico-U.S. migration creates situations that may cause psychological distress. The purpose of this research project was to study the impact of father's physical absence due to international migration (FPAIM) on adolescent offspring of rural immigrants from Zacatecas, Mexico. Stressors and compensators were studied from the adolescent's perspective and were analyzed using a stress-mediator-consequences theoretical framework. Qualitative (n = 24) and quantitative (n = 310) methodologies were used with a nonrandom sample of adolescents. Results show that the FPAIM is an ambivalent experience for adolescents that has positive and negative elements. Though migrants' children seem to be more vulnerable to psychosocial stress than are the offspring of nonmigrants, gender, not father's absence, appears to be the most important risk factor for psychological distress.
墨西哥与美国之间的移民潮引发了一些可能导致心理困扰的情况。本研究项目旨在探究因国际移民导致父亲长期不在身边（FPAIM）对墨西哥萨卡特卡斯州农村移民青少年后代的影响。从青少年的角度研究了压力源和补偿因素，并运用压力 - 中介因素 - 结果的理论框架进行分析。对青少年的非随机样本采用了定性研究方法（n = 24）和定量研究方法（n = 310）。结果表明，FPAIM对青少年来说是一种利弊兼具的经历。虽然移民子女似乎比非移民子女更容易受到心理社会压力的影响，但性别而非父亲不在身边，似乎是心理困扰最重要的风险因素。
