This study examined links between aspects of parenting behavior and children's cortisol and whether those links varied by child behavioral problems and ethnicity. Participants included children ages 9-15 (N = 159, 75% Latinx) and their primary caregivers from the Los Angeles Family and Neighborhood Survey (L.A.FANS; Wave 2). Children provided saliva upon waking, 30 min after waking, and at bedtime which was analyzed for cortisol. Analyses revealed associations between parenting behavior and cortisol were greater among children who had behavioral problems and these associations were stronger among non-Latinx White children compared to Latinx children. This study moves beyond the current literature by investigating these important associations in a predominately Latinx urban sample of children.
这项研究考察了父母行为的各个方面与儿童皮质醇之间的关系，以及这些关系是否因儿童行为问题和种族而异。参与者包括来自洛杉矶家庭和社区调查（L.A.FANS；第 2 波）的 9-15 岁儿童及其主要照顾者（N=159，75%拉丁裔）。儿童在醒来后、醒来后 30 分钟和睡前提供唾液，唾液中皮质醇的含量进行了分析。分析结果显示，在有行为问题的儿童中，父母行为与皮质醇之间的关联更大，而且在非拉丁裔白人和拉丁裔儿童之间，这种关联在非拉丁裔白人儿童中比在拉丁裔儿童中更强。本研究通过调查一个以拉丁裔为主的城市儿童样本中的这些重要关联，超越了现有文献。
