我们研究了居住在美国的阿拉伯穆斯林移民家庭的母子适应和儿童行为问题。635对母子的样本由1989年或以后移民的母亲组成，并且至少有一个11至15岁的青少年儿童也愿意参加。讲阿拉伯语的研究助理收集了母亲和儿童的数据，使用既定的措施，产妇和儿童的压力，应对和社会支持;产妇的痛苦;亲子关系;和儿童行为问题。一个结构方程模型（SEM）被指定的先验与17个预测的途径。除了少数例外，最终的SEM模型与所提出的模型高度一致，并且与数据拟合良好。该模型解释了67%的儿童行为问题的方差。儿童压力源、母子关系和母亲压力源是儿童行为问题的主要原因。该模型还解释了27%的母子关系的方差。儿童积极应对、儿童性别、母亲受教育程度、母亲痛苦程度均对母子关系有预测作用。母子关系在母亲压力和儿童积极应对对儿童行为问题的影响中起中介作用。这些研究结果表明，移民母亲有助于青少年的调整，无论是作为风险和保护的来源。这些研究结果还表明，干预移民母亲，以减少他们的压力和加强父母与子女的关系是促进青少年适应的两个重要领域。
We examined the mother-child adjustment and child behavior problems in Arab Muslim immigrant families residing in the U.S.A. The sample of 635 mother-child dyads was comprised of mothers who emigrated from 1989 or later and had at least one early adolescent child between the ages of 11 to 15 years old who was also willing to participate. Arabic speaking research assistants collected the data from the mothers and children using established measures of maternal and child stressors, coping, and social support; maternal distress; parent-child relationship; and child behavior problems. A structural equation model (SEM) was specified a priori with 17 predicted pathways. With a few exceptions, the final SEM model was highly consistent with the proposed model and had a good fit to the data. The model accounted for 67% of the variance in child behavior problems. Child stressors, mother-child relationship, and maternal stressors were the causal variables that contributed the most to child behavior problems. The model also accounted for 27% of the variance in mother-child relationship. Child active coping, child gender, mother’s education, and maternal distress were all predictive of the mother-child relationship. Mother-child relationship also mediated the effects of maternal distress and child active coping on child behavior problems. These findings indicate that immigrant mothers contribute greatly to adolescent adjustment, both as a source of risk and protection. These findings also suggest that intervening with immigrant mothers to reduce their stress and strengthening the parent-child relationship are two important areas for promoting adolescent adjustment.
