人们越来越感兴趣的是，当父母遇到压力时，如何帮助他们保持良好的养育方式。美国是世界上单亲家庭比例最高的国家。这些家庭往往经历更大的逆境，反过来，精神痛苦。支持关系被广泛认为是健康的心理健康所不可或缺的;然而，支持的来源往往没有在研究中区分。本研究探讨家庭支持与朋友支持对单亲母亲内化症状与亲职支持的预测作用。该样本包括2019年秋季招募的来自中西部州的200名单身母亲。分层线性回归发现，家庭和朋友的支持预测更多的养育支持，而只有朋友的支持预测较少的内化症状。此外，家庭和朋友的支持相互作用，预测内化症状。当朋友支持高/足够时，家庭支持可以增强朋友对单亲母亲心理健康的积极影响。潜在轮廓分析确定了四个轮廓：亲属网络，友谊网络，社会孤立，广泛联系。广泛联系的侧写有最佳的结果。社会孤立和亲属关系网络的配置文件都呈现出独特的风险。总的来说，我们的研究结果强调了朋友支持的重要性和只获得家庭支持的潜在风险。单身母亲的社会支持干预的影响进行了讨论。
There is growing interest in what helps parents maintain good parenting when they encounter stressors. The United States has the world's highest rate of single-parent households. These families often experience higher adversity and, in turn, mental distress. Supportive relationships are widely recognized as indispensable for healthy psychological well-being; however, the sources of support have often not been differentiated in research. The present study investigated the relative roles of family support and friend support in predicting single mothers’ internalizing symptoms and parenting support. The sample included 200 single mothers from a Midwest state recruited during Fall 2019. Hierarchical linear regressions found both family and friend support predicted more parenting support, whereas only friend support predicted fewer internalizing symptoms. In addition, family and friend support interacted in predicting internalizing symptoms. When friend support was high/sufficient, family support could augment friends’ positive impact on single mothers’ mental health. Latent profile analysis identified four profiles:kinship network, friendship network, socially isolated, andwidely connected. Thewidely connectedprofile had the most optimal outcome. Bothsocially isolatedandkinship networkprofiles were presented with unique risks. Taken together, our findings underscored the importance of friend support and the potential risk of only accessing family support. Implications for social support interventions for single mothers are discussed.
