We examined differences in family structure change in an urban sample of mothers (N= 1,314) from their child's birth to age 5 and whether ecological risk moderated this association. We found that compared to U.S.-born Latino mothers, foreign-born Latino mothers were 62% less likely to break up and 75% less likely to repartner than remain stably resident. Across nativity status, Latina mothers with fewer children, more economic stress, less income, and less frequently reported father involvement were more likely to break up and repartner than remain stably resident. We found no moderation effects of ecological risk.
我们研究了城市中1314名母亲从孩子出生到5岁期间家庭结构变化的差异，以及生态风险是否调节了这种关联。我们发现，与在美国出生的拉丁裔母亲相比，外国出生的拉丁裔母亲分手的可能性低62%，重新组建家庭的可能性低75%，而不是保持稳定居住状态。在不同出生状态下，孩子较少、经济压力较大、收入较低且较少报告父亲参与的拉丁裔母亲比保持稳定居住状态的母亲更有可能分手并重新组建家庭。我们没有发现生态风险的调节作用。
