本研究以家庭压力模型和压力缓冲模型为基础，考察了照顾者的经济压力与儿童内化问题行为的关系、照顾者虐待行为的中介作用以及照顾者的社会服务是否对这一关系起到缓冲作用。目前的研究基于全国儿童和青少年健康调查数据集（N = 2670）的第二波数据。结果表明，增加高家庭经济压力与儿童内化问题。照顾者的心理攻击，身体攻击，儿童忽视，性虐待出现的机制，调解这种关系。研究发现，家庭服务和社会网络服务可以缓解经济压力对儿童内化行为的不利影响，但主要是针对那些经济压力高的儿童。这些研究结果强调了经济压力对潜在虐待和儿童结局的作用，而不是依赖于经济状况的客观衡量标准。社会服务为重点的干预措施，为儿童和照顾者应对高水平的财政压力的影响进行了讨论。
Based on the family stress model and the stress-buffering model, the present study examines the relationship between caregivers' financial stress and child internalizing problem behaviors, the mediating role of caregiver maltreating behaviors, and whether social services for caregivers buffer this relationship. The current study is based on data from wave two of the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being dataset (N = 2670). Results indicated increased high familial financial stress was associated with child internalizing problems. Caregivers' psychological aggression, physical assault, child neglect, and sexual maltreatment emerged as mechanisms mediating this relationship. Tangible service and social network service were found to mitigate the deleterious effect of financial stress on child internalizing behaviors, but primarily for those whom financial stress was high. These findings highlight the role perceived financial stress has on potential maltreatment and child outcomes, rather than relying on objective measures of economic status. Implications for social services focused interventions for children and caregivers coping with high levels of perceived financial stress are discussed.
