In an effort to better understand possible pathways that lead to a relatively high incidence of depressive symptoms among Mexican American youth, an interpersonal stress model of depression was tested using a community sample of 674 Mexican American mothers and their 5th grade children. Structural equation analyses revealed that maternal depression was positively related to mothers' interpersonal stress in their relationships. Additionally, maternal poor parenting quality was associated with three child outcomes: lower social competence, higher interpersonal stress, and higher depressive symptoms. Child difficulties with peers, however, were not related to child depression. Overall, evidence suggests that familial factors, rather than peer factors, were related to child depression for these study participants.
为了更好地理解导致墨西哥裔美国青少年抑郁症状发病率相对较高的可能途径，使用一个由674名墨西哥裔美国母亲及其五年级孩子组成的社区样本，对一种抑郁症的人际压力模型进行了测试。结构方程分析表明，母亲的抑郁与母亲在人际关系中的人际压力呈正相关。此外，母亲不良的养育质量与孩子的三个结果相关：较低的社交能力、较高的人际压力和较高的抑郁症状。然而，孩子与同伴相处的困难与孩子的抑郁无关。总体而言，证据表明，对于这些研究参与者来说，家庭因素而非同伴因素与孩子的抑郁有关。
