这项纵向研究旨在检验来自压力扩散框架的假设，该框架涉及南方农村非洲裔美国母亲在养育子女方面的变化与种族歧视之间的关系。139名母亲和她们的孩子每隔1年接受3次访谈。母亲们报告了感受到的歧视和两个激增的压力源：与压力有关的健康问题和抑郁症状。母亲和孩子都报告了母亲促进能力的养育方式。结构方程模型揭示了一个链式序列：感知到的歧视预示着母亲压力相关健康问题的增加，而这反过来又与抑郁症状呈正相关。抑郁症状是与母亲促进能力的养育方式减少相关的最近邻变量。这些结果与社会经济特征无关。
This longitudinal study was designed to test hypotheses, derived from a stress proliferation framework, regarding the association between perceived racial discrimination and changes in parenting among African American mothers in the rural South. A sample of 139 mothers and their children were interviewed 3 times at 1-year intervals. Mothers reported on perceived discrimination and two proliferated stressors: stress-related health problems and depressive symptoms. Both mothers and children reported on mothers' competence-promoting parenting. Structural equation modeling revealed a chain-like sequence: Perceived discrimination forecast increases in mothers' stress-related health problems, which in turn were positively associated with depressive symptoms. Depressive symptoms constituted the proximal variable associated with decreases in mothers' competence-promoting parenting. These results emerged independent of socioeconomic characteristics.
