先孕和产前压力影响胎儿和婴儿的发育，有色人种妇女不成比例地暴露在社会文化压力中，如歧视和适应文化压力。然而，很少有研究研究母亲暴露在这些应激源和子女心理健康或可能的缓解因素之间的联系。使用线性回归方法，我们对113名拉丁裔/西班牙裔、亚裔美国人、黑人和多民族母亲及其子女进行了产前评估的母亲文化适应压力与婴儿消极情绪歧视之间的关系。此外，我们测试了压力源与潜在的出生前和出生后韧性促进因素之间的相互作用：社区凝聚力、社会支持、社区主义和育儿自我效能。歧视和文化适应压力与大约12个月大的婴儿更多的负面情绪有关(M=12.6，SD=0.75)。相比之下，母亲在婴儿6个月大时报告的育儿自我效能感与较低的婴儿负面情绪水平有关。此外，较高水平的育儿自我效能感缓解了文化适应压力和消极情绪性之间的关系。先入为主和产前暴露于社会文化压力可能是导致子女心理健康状况不佳的风险因素。妇幼卫生研究人员、政策制定者和从业者应优先考虑进一步了解这些关系，减少暴露在社会文化压力源中，并促进复原力。
Preconception and prenatal stress impact fetal and infant development, and women of color are disproportionately exposed to sociocultural stressors like discrimination and acculturative stress. However, few studies examine links between mothers’ exposure to these stressors and offspring mental health, or possible mitigating factors. Using linear regression, we tested associations between prenatally-assessed maternal acculturative stress and discrimination on infant negative emotionality among 113 Latinx/Hispanic, Asian American, Black, and Multiethnic mothers and their children. Additionally, we tested interactions between stressors and potential pre- and postnatal resilience-promoting factors: community cohesion, social support, communalism, and parenting self-efficacy. Discrimination and acculturative stress were related to more infant negative emotionality at approximately 12 months old (M = 12.6, SD = .75). In contrast, maternal report of parenting self-efficacy when infants were 6 months old was related to lower levels of infant negative emotionality. Further, higher levels of parenting self-efficacy mitigated the relation between acculturative stress and negative emotionality. Preconception and prenatal exposure to sociocultural stress may be a risk factor for poor offspring mental health. Maternal and child health researchers, policymakers, and practitioners should prioritize further understanding these relations, reducing exposure to sociocultural stressors, and promoting resilience.
