本研究通过对母亲和儿童的家庭访谈，考察了99名8-12岁儿童(男性=10.7岁)的社区暴力暴露与心理健康之间的关系。对暴力暴露和幸福感之间联系的调解人和调解人进行了测试。在控制了人口统计学和同时存在的生活应激源之后，暴力暴露与侵入性思维、焦虑和抑郁显著相关。回归分析表明，侵入性思维部分调节了暴力暴露和内化症状之间的联系。有计划的比较显示，在社会支持较低或社会压力较高的儿童中，接触暴力对幸福感的影响最大。此外，当社会支持不足时，具有高侵入性思维水平的儿童最有可能表现出高度的内化症状。
This study examined associations of community violence exposure and psychological well-being among 99 8-12 year old children (M = 10.7 years) using home interviews with mothers and children. Both moderators and mediators of the links between violence exposure and well-being were tested. After demographics and concurrent life stressors were controlled for, violence exposure was significantly associated with intrusive thinking, anxiety, and depression. Regression analyses indicated that intrusive thinking partially mediated associations between Violence exposure and internalizing symptoms. Planned comparisons revealed that violence exposure had the strongest effect on wellbeing among children with low social support or high levels of social strains. Furthermore, children with high levels of intrusive thinking were most likely to show heightened internalizing symptoms when they had inadequate social support.
