持续的COVID-19危机对有年幼子女的经济弱势家庭造成的伤害尤其严重。我们调查了来自美国142个家庭的247位低收入母亲和父亲，了解他们在疫情带来的经济和社会限制后家庭生活的变化。我们研究了流行病相关风险因素之间的关联，如经济压力因素（例如，失业）和社会压力（例如，暴露于病毒）对家庭功能的影响（例如，父母的心理健康，父母的参与和儿童的社会情感行为）以及共同养育支持和父母的积极性保护家庭免受这些压力对他们的幸福的负面影响的程度。我们发现了积极和消极的联系。自大流行以来报告更多经济压力的母亲和父亲还观察到，他们的孩子在大流行期间表现得更亲社会，父亲经历了更多的心理健康困难。报告更多社会压力源的母亲和父亲报告说，与大流行前相比，他们与孩子的互动较少，他们的孩子表现出更多的行为问题。我们还发现，那些报告感觉更积极的母亲和父亲在大流行期间也报告感觉更少抑郁和压力，并观察到他们的孩子比大流行前有更多的亲社会行为。与大流行之前相比，那些报告了更多支持性共育关系的母亲和父亲也报告了更多的父母参与，并在他们的孩子身上观察到更多的亲社会行为。就保护因素而言，大流行期间父母的高度积极态度保护了母亲（较少的心理健康困难），而高水平的共同养育支持保护了父亲（较少的心理健康困难），使其在大流行期间免受经济压力对其心理健康的负面影响。这些研究结果突出表明，家庭进程可以促进父母在面临与大流行病有关的经济和社会压力时的复原力。
The ongoing COVID-19 crisis has been particularly harmful to economically vulnerable families with young children. We surveyed 247 low-income mothers and fathers from 142 families in the United States about changes in their family life following the economic and social restrictions imposed by the pandemic. We examined the associations between pandemic-related risk factors such as economic stressors (e.g., loss of job) and social stressors (e.g., exposure to the virus) on family functioning (e.g., parents’ mental health, parent engagement, and children’s socioemotional behaviors) and the degree to which coparenting support and parents’ positivity protected families from the negative effects of these stressors on their wellbeing. We found both positive and negative associations. Mothers and fathers who reported more economic stressors since the pandemic also observed that their children behaved more prosocially and that fathers experienced more mental health difficulties during the pandemic. Mothers and fathers who reported more social stressors reported that they were less engaged with their children and their children exhibited more behavior problems compared to before the pandemic. We also found that mothers and fathers who reported feeling more positive also reported feeling less depressed and stressed during the pandemic and observed that their children had more prosocial behaviors compared to before the pandemic. Compared to before the pandemic, mothers and fathers who reported a more supportive coparenting relationship also reported more parent engagement and observed more prosocial behaviors in their children. In terms of protective factors, high levels of parent positivity during the pandemic protected mothers (less mental health difficulties) whereas high levels of coparenting support protected fathers (less mental health difficulties) from the negative effects of economic stress on their mental health during the pandemic. These findings highlight family processes that could promote resilience in mothers and fathers in the face of pandemic-related economic and social stressors.
