父母的压力已经被证明与孩子的饮食行为有关。压力缓冲假说认为，社会资源，即通过一个人的社会网络获得的资源，可以预防或减轻压力对健康的影响。先前对压力缓冲假说的研究已经发现了社会支持（个人生活中可用的情感、工具或信息资源）具有保护作用的证据；人们对社会资本（通过一个人的社会网络获得的资源）作为压力缓冲的了解较少。此外，这些研究经常考察一个人直接获得社会资源与其健康之间的关系；很少有研究调查社会资源的好处是否会从父母身上延伸到孩子身上。本研究利用基于社区的母子出生队列数据，考察了母亲的社会资本是否调节了母亲压力与儿童情绪暴饮暴食（EO）之间的关联。母亲们每年填写一次健康问卷，2011-2012年填写一次社会网络问卷。EO采用儿童饮食行为问卷进行测量。采用18项父母压力量表测量母亲压力。社会资本是根据母亲所从事的职业数量，用位置生成器来衡量的。采用泊松回归分析。结果表明，母亲的社会资本调节了母亲压力的增加与子女的情绪表现之间的正相关关系，只有在母亲的社会资本较低的情况下，母亲的压力才与子女的情绪表现相关。这项研究表明，社会资本可能会破坏母亲压力从父母到孩子的传递，从而在健康不平等的产生和再生产中发挥潜在作用。
Parental stress has been shown associated with children's eating behaviors. The stress-buffering hypothesis suggests that social resources, i.e., resources accessed via one's social networks, may prevent or attenuate the impact of stress on health. Prior research on the stress-buffering hypothesis has found evidence for the protective effects of social support (emotional, instrumental, or informational resources available in a person's life); less is known about social capital (resources available through one's social networks) as a stress buffer. Further, these studies have often examined the association between a person's direct access to social resources and their health; less research has examined whether the benefits of social resources may extend two degrees from parents to their children. Using data from a community-based birth cohort of mother-child dyads, this study examined whether mother's social capital moderated the association between maternal stress and children's emotional overeating (EO). Mothers completed health questionnaires on an annual basis and a one-time social network questionnaire in 2011–2012. EO was measured using the Children's Eating Behavior Questionnaire. Maternal stress was measured using the 18-item Parental Stress Scale. Social capital was measured using a position generator and based on the number of occupations to which a mother had access. Poisson regression analysis was used. Results showed that mother's social capital moderated the positive association between greater maternal stress and children's EO, such that maternal stress was associated with children's EO in only those mothers with low social capital. This study suggests that social capital may disrupt the transmission of maternal stress from parent to child, thereby playing a potential role in the production and reproduction of health inequalities.
