In this two-wave longitudinal, daily diary study that followed up with 421 Mexican American parent-adolescent dyads (adolescents: M = 15 years, 50% males) after 1 year, we investigated the contingency between parental stressors and adolescents' emotional support to family members. Adolescents provided support to their parents and other family members at similar rates, but adolescents were more likely to provide support to other family members than to their parents on days when parents experienced a family stressor. This pattern was especially pronounced in families with parents who reported physical symptoms and adolescents with a strong sense of family obligation. Adolescents' provision of emotional support was associated with same-day feelings of role fulfillment, but not to their concurrent or long-term psychological distress.
在这项为期两年的纵向、每日日记研究中，我们对 421 对墨西哥裔美国亲子对（青少年：M=15 岁，50%为男性）进行了随访，研究了父母压力源与青少年向家庭成员提供情感支持之间的偶然性。青少年向父母和其他家庭成员提供支持的频率相似，但在父母经历家庭压力源的日子里，青少年更有可能向其他家庭成员而不是父母提供支持。这种模式在报告身体症状的父母和有强烈家庭责任感的青少年的家庭中尤为明显。青少年提供情感支持与当天的角色满足感有关，但与他们的当前或长期心理困扰无关。
