Family stress theory can explain associations between contextual stressors and parenting. However, the theory has not been tested among Mexican Americans or expanded to include cultural-contextual risks. This study examined associations between neighborhood, economic, and acculturative stressors and parenting behaviors in a sample of 570 two-parent Mexican American families. Results support the negative impact of economic stress on parenting through parental depressive symptoms. Neighborhood stress influenced fathers' depressive symptoms and parenting, but not mothers'. The effects of acculturative stress were inconsistent. Results suggest that contextual stressors common to Mexican American families impact parenting behaviors through parental depression.
家庭压力理论可以解释情境压力源与养育方式之间的关联。然而,该理论尚未在墨西哥裔美国人中得到验证,也未扩展到纳入文化情境风险。本研究在570个双亲墨西哥裔美国家庭样本中,考察了邻里、经济和文化适应压力源与养育行为之间的关联。结果支持经济压力通过父母的抑郁症状对养育方式产生负面影响。邻里压力影响父亲的抑郁症状和养育方式,但不影响母亲。文化适应压力的影响并不一致。结果表明,墨西哥裔美国家庭常见的情境压力源通过父母抑郁影响养育行为。
