暴露在社区暴力和产妇抑郁中的双重风险对儿童有潜在的负面影响。这项研究调查了社交技能是否作为社区暴力暴露对患有抑郁症的非裔美国人母亲的孩子焦虑影响的保护性因素。多元回归分析表明,社区暴力暴露与较少的焦虑应对有关,但与更多的身体症状有关。研究结果支持,认为自己具有社交技能的年龄较小的孩子也表现出更高的焦虑应对水平。讨论了年龄、焦虑的身体症状和对干预措施的焦虑警觉性的重要性。
The dual risk of exposure to community violence and maternal depression has potentially negative effects on children. This study examined whether social skills served as a protective factor for the impact of community violence exposure on anxiety within children of African American mothers with depression. Multiple regressions showed that community violence exposure was associated with less anxious coping but more physical symptoms. Findings support that younger children who view themselves as being socially skilled also exhibit higher levels of anxious coping. Implications addressing the importance of age, physical symptoms of anxiety, and anxious vigilance for interventions are discussed.
