OBJECTIVES
The purpose of the study was to investigate the extent to which perceived thought control ability (PTCA) promotes the psychological functioning of Black American mothers, as well as moderates the negative effects of key stressors faced by this population, including discrimination experiences, financial strain, and parenting stress.
METHODS
An online survey was administered to 305 Black American mothers across the U.S. Participants completed measures of PTCA, psychological well-being (life satisfaction and emotional well-being), psychological distress (depressive and anxiety symptoms), and stressors (discrimination experiences, financial strain, and parenting stress).
RESULTS
Discrimination experiences, financial strain, and parenting stress were related to higher anxiety and depressive symptoms. Financial strain and parenting stress were also related to lower life satisfaction and emotional well-being. PTCA protected against the link between discrimination experiences and depressive symptoms (β = -.15, p < .001), discrimination experiences and anxiety (β = -.15, p < .001), and parenting stress on anxiety (β = .08, p = .04). PTCA also was associated with higher life satisfaction (β =.19, p = .001) and emotional well-being (β =.42, p < .001).
CONCLUSIONS
This study provides evidence that PTCA is a culturally relevant and practical psychological resource for psychological functioning among Black American mothers. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).
目的
本研究旨在探讨感知思维控制能力（PTCA）在多大程度上促进了美国黑人母亲的心理功能，以及调节了这一人群所面临的关键压力源的负面影响，包括歧视经历、经济紧张和育儿压力。
方法
通过在线调查的方式，对美国各地的 305 名美国黑人母亲进行了调查。参与者完成了感知思维控制能力、心理幸福感（生活满意度和情绪幸福感）、心理困扰（抑郁和焦虑症状）和压力源（歧视经历、经济紧张和育儿压力）的测量。
结果
歧视经历、经济紧张和育儿压力与更高的焦虑和抑郁症状有关。经济紧张和育儿压力也与较低的生活满意度和情绪幸福感有关。PTCA 可以防止歧视经历与抑郁症状（β=-.15，p<.001）、歧视经历与焦虑（β=-.15，p<.001）以及育儿压力与焦虑（β=.08，p=.04）之间的联系。PTCA 还与更高的生活满意度（β=.19，p=.001）和情绪幸福感（β=.42，p<.001）相关。
结论
这项研究为 PTCA 是美国黑人母亲心理功能的一种文化相关且实用的心理资源提供了证据。
