The dual risk of exposure to community violence and maternal depression has potentially negative effects on children. This study examined whether social skills served as a protective factor for the impact of community violence exposure on anxiety within children of African American mothers with depression. Multiple regressions showed that community violence exposure was associated with less anxious coping but more physical symptoms. Findings support that younger children who view themselves as being socially skilled also exhibit higher levels of anxious coping. Implications addressing the importance of age, physical symptoms of anxiety, and anxious vigilance for interventions are discussed.
接触社区暴力和母亲抑郁的双重风险可能会对儿童产生负面影响。本研究调查了社交技能是否作为一种保护因素，影响患有抑郁症的非裔美国母亲的孩子在接触社区暴力时产生焦虑。多元回归分析表明，接触社区暴力与较少的焦虑应对方式相关，但与更多的身体症状相关。研究结果支持，那些认为自己社交能力强的年幼儿童也表现出更高水平的焦虑应对方式。文中还讨论了年龄、焦虑的身体症状以及焦虑警觉性对干预措施的重要性。
