Previous studies have indicated that neighborhood disorganization affects child-rearing beliefs in the United States, but few studies have focused on such influences among Asian American parents. Largely due to Asian American parents' immigration experiences, neighborhood disorganization factors inevitably intersect with their traditional cultures, which may lead to different patterns in their parental beliefs. Using structural equation modeling, this study found that neighborhood disorganization factors directly influenced Asian American parents' beliefs toward physical punishment and parenting stress mediated this relationship. These findings suggest that the integration of family and neighborhood-level practices in social services may reduce the risk of physical abuse.
先前的研究表明，邻里失序会影响美国的育儿观念，但很少有研究关注亚裔美国父母的这种影响。由于亚裔美国父母的移民经历，邻里失序因素不可避免地与他们的传统文化相交织，这可能导致他们的育儿观念呈现出不同的模式。本研究采用结构方程模型发现，邻里失序因素直接影响亚裔美国父母对体罚的观念，而育儿压力则在其中起到中介作用。这些发现表明，在社会服务中整合家庭和邻里层面的实践可能有助于降低身体虐待的风险。
