使用药物的母亲在暴露于与其使用药物的生活方式相关的背景风险积累方面各不相同，可能导致其子女行为结果的变异性。本研究探讨了母亲的累积风险暴露，儿童的行为问题，和应对策略的母亲和儿童的中介模型。研究结果显示，母亲的累积风险暴露越高，任务导向应对的利用率越低，情绪导向应对的利用率越高。此外，母亲的情绪导向的应对中介母亲的累积风险暴露和儿童的行为问题之间的关联。这些发现强调了在理解高危人群中儿童问题行为时考虑家庭社会化背景的重要性。母亲的情绪应对方式对儿童行为问题有显著的影响，这一发现表明情绪应对方式可能是家庭预防干预的一个重要干预目标。
Substance using mothers vary in their exposure to an accumulation of contextual risks associated with their drug-using lifestyles, likely leading to variability in their children’s behavioral outcomes. The present study examined a mediation model interrelating mothers’ cumulative risk exposure, children’s behavior problems, and coping strategies of both mothers and children. Findings showed that mothers’ greater exposure to cumulative risk was associated with lower utilization of task-oriented coping and higher utilization of emotion-oriented coping. Further, mothers’ emotion-oriented coping mediated the association between mothers’ cumulative risk exposure and children’s behavior problems. These findings underscore the importance of considering the family socialization context in understanding children’s problem behaviors in a high-risk population. The finding that mothers’ emotion-oriented coping exerted a strong influence on children’s behavior problems suggests that emotion-oriented coping may be a critical intervention target for family based prevention interventions.
