大量的实证研究表明，照顾者的不良童年经历(ACE)预示着孩子的ACE，这种现象被称为ACE的代际传递。然而，尽管越来越多的理论文献和长老和传统知识保管者的智慧表明土著社区中存在这一现象，土著文化特性在防止王牌代际传播方面发挥了保护作用，但这项实证研究几乎没有专门针对土著人民。目前这项研究的目的是对这一假设进行实证评估，特别是土著文化认同和社会支持防止美国土著人民及其子女之间的ACE代际传播。参与者是南达科他州106名照顾10至14岁儿童的土著妇女，她们完成了调查。结果表明，土著文化认同调节了照顾者王牌和儿童王牌之间的联系。在文化认同感较高的情况下，照顾者王牌和儿童王牌之间没有关联。然而，在低水平的土著文化认同中，照顾者王牌和儿童王牌之间存在着强烈和积极的关系。社会支持并没有缓和照顾者王牌和儿童王牌之间的联系。这些调查结果突出表明，需要采取主动行动，在土著照顾者中加强土著文化特性和社会支持，以防止ACEs的代际传播。
A large body of empirical research has demonstrated that caregiver adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) predict ACEs in one’s child, a phenomenon known as the intergenerational transmission of ACEs. Little of this empirical research, however, has focused specifically on Indigenous peoples despite a growing body of theoretical literature and the wisdom of Elders and Traditional Knowledge Keepers that speaks to the presence of this phenomenon within Indigenous communities as well as the protective role of Indigenous cultural identity in preventing the intergenerational transmission of ACEs. The purpose of the current study was to conduct an empirical evaluation of this hypothesis, specifically that Indigenous cultural identity and social support protects against the intergenerational transmission of ACEs among Indigenous peoples and their children in the USA. Participants were 106 Indigenous women caregivers of children ages 10 to 14 in South Dakota who completed surveys. Results showed that Indigenous cultural identity moderated the association between caregiver ACEs and child ACEs. At high levels of cultural identity, there was no association between caregiver ACEs and child ACEs. At low levels of Indigenous cultural identity, however, there was a strong and positive relationship between caregiver ACEs and child ACEs. Social support did not moderate the association between caregiver ACEs and child ACEs. These findings underscore the need for initiatives that enhance Indigenous cultural identity and social support among Indigenous caregivers to prevent the intergenerational transmission of ACEs.
