这项研究的422个两个照顾非裔美国人的家庭，每个家庭有一个10-11岁的焦点儿童（54%的女孩），评估了适用性的家庭压力模型的经济困难，了解经济对儿童发展的影响，在这个人口。这些发现基本上重复了早期对欧洲美国家庭的研究。结果表明，经济困难与家庭经济压力呈正相关。经济压力与照顾者的情绪困扰有关，而情绪困扰又与照顾者关系中的问题有关。这些问题与中断的父母的做法，这预示着较低的积极的儿童适应和较高的内化和外化症状。研究结果为经济困难的家庭压力模型及其对不同人群的普遍性提供了重要支持。
This study of 422 two-caregiver African American families, each with a 10-11-year-old focal child (54% girls), evaluated the applicability of the family stress model of economic hardship for understanding economic influences on child development in this population. The findings generally replicated earlier research with European American families. The results showed that economic hardship positively relates to economic pressure in families. Economic pressure was related to the emotional distress of caregivers, which in turn was associated with problems in the caregiver relationship. These problems were related to disrupted parenting practices, which predicted lower positive child adjustment and higher internalizing and externalizing symptoms. The results provide significant support for the family stress model of economic hardship and its generalizability to diverse populations.
