作者使用交叉滞后分析来检验青少年怀孕意愿、渴望和后悔的跨时间影响和后果。100名怀孕的拉丁裔青少年在怀孕期间和产后6个月和12个月进行了研究。结果发现：（a）与成年女性相似，青少年的产前妊娠意向和渴望程度较低，预示着其最初的养育困难：（B）频繁的抑郁症状预示着随后较低的妊娠意向和渴望程度;（c）青少年心理健康状况不佳和父母对孩子的严厉管教预示着随后更高的生育遗憾，（4）高生育后悔和父母压力在时间上呈负相关。此外，青少年对怀孕的渴望在产前到产后呈下降趋势，强烈的怀孕意愿和渴望与青少年产前心理健康状况不相关。研究结果揭示了青少年对怀孕的想法和感受如何受到他们的心理健康和育儿经历的影响和预测。
The authors used cross-lagged analyses to examine the across-time influences on and consequences of adolescents’ pregnancy intentions, wantedness, and regret. One hundred pregnant Latina adolescents were studied during pregnancy and at 6 and 12 months postpartum. The results revealed 4 main findings: (a) similar to what has been found in adult women, adolescents’ lower prenatal pregnancy intendedness and wantedness predicted initial difficulties in parenting; (b) frequent depression symptoms predicted subsequent lower pregnancy intendedness and wantedness; (c) adolescents’ poor mental health and harsh parenting of their child predicted subsequent higher childbearing regret, and (d) high childbearing regret and parenting stress were reciprocally related across time. In addition, adolescents’ wantedness of their pregnancy declined prenatally to postbirth, and strong pregnancy intendedness and wantedness were not concurrently related to adolescents’ poor prenatal mental health. The findings reveal how adolescents’ thoughts and feelings about their pregnancies are influenced by and predictive of their mental health and parenting experiences.
