本研究以264对非裔美国夫妇为样本，考察了照顾者种族歧视经历对其青少年子女心理功能的影响。研究了照顾者歧视经历与青少年（1217岁）心理功能指标之间的潜在关系。结果发现，照顾者歧视经历与青少年抑郁症状正相关，与心理健康负相关。进一步的分析揭示了照顾者歧视经历和家庭收入对所有三个结果的影响之间的相互作用。更大的照顾者歧视经历和较低的家庭收入是样本中青少年的危险因素。这些发现强调了照顾者的歧视经历对非裔美国青年心理健康的有害后果。
The present study examined the effect of caregivers' experiences of racial discrimination on their adolescent children's psychological functioning among a sample of 264 African American dyads. Potential relations between caregiver discrimination experiences and a number of indicators of adolescents' (aged 1217) psychological functioning over time were examined. It was found that caregiver discrimination experiences were positively related to adolescents' symptoms of depression and negatively related to their psychological well-being. Additional analysis revealed interactions between the effects of caregiver discrimination experiences and family income on all 3 outcomes. Greater caregiver discrimination experiences and lower family income were risk factors for the youth in the sample. These findings underscore the deleterious consequence of caregivers' discrimination experiences on African American youth's psychological health.
