To test the relation between multiple family stressors and young children's adjustment problems.
Longitudinal data were collected on 300 low-income, ethnically diverse, male subjects beginning during infancy and followed until age 31/2.
General support was found for the family stressor hypothesis. Stressor groups at 18 and 24 months predicted Child Behavior Checklist Externalizing and Internalizing factors at 24 and 42 months, including clinically elevated problems.
The results confirm and extend previous investigation of the family stressor hypothesis. They suggest that psychological evaluations of young children need to be ecologically based, including intra- and extrafamilial factors that appear to cumulatively increase risk of behavior problems.
检验多种家庭压力源与幼儿适应问题之间的关系。
收集了300名低收入、种族多样的男性受试者从婴儿期开始直至3岁半的纵向数据。
研究结果为家庭压力源假说提供了普遍支持。18个月和24个月时的压力源组可预测24个月和42个月时儿童行为量表的外化和内化因子,包括临床上的问题增多。
研究结果证实并扩展了先前对家庭压力源假说的调查。结果表明,对幼儿的心理评估需要基于生态学,包括家庭内部和外部因素,这些因素似乎会累积增加行为问题的风险。
