Guided by a process model of parenting and the integrative model, this study examined sources of emotional support (i.e., partner, maternal, paternal) as related to stress and satisfaction resulting from the parenting role in a sample of Mexican-origin young adult parents who participated in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) during Wave IV. Participants were male and female parents (26-35 years of age; 59% female; N = 737) who had children and a partner. Results from structural equation modeling revealed support from mothers as salient; high levels of maternal support were associated with high levels of parenting satisfaction. Tests of indirect effects suggested that parenting satisfaction played an intervening role in the link between maternal support and parenting stress. The pattern of results held across levels of linguistic acculturation but varied by gender. Understanding the mechanisms that predict parenting stress and satisfaction within the Mexican-origin population may help in the identification of culturally sensitive intervention strategies.
本研究以育儿过程模型和综合模型为指导，考察了情感支持的来源（即伴侣、母亲、父亲）与墨西哥裔青年父母（在 Add Health 研究的第四波中参与研究，年龄在 26-35 岁之间，女性占 59%，N=737）的育儿角色相关的压力和满意度之间的关系。结果表明，母亲的支持至关重要；高水平的母亲支持与高水平的育儿满意度相关。中介效应检验表明，育儿满意度在母亲支持与育儿压力之间起着中介作用。结果模式在不同的语言文化适应水平上保持一致，但因性别而异。了解在墨西哥裔人群中预测育儿压力和满意度的机制，可能有助于确定具有文化敏感性的干预策略。
