研究发现，儿童时期缺乏父母的情感支持可以预测身心健康问题（即，慢性健康状况、抑郁症）。较少的研究探讨了可能缓冲或放大这种关联的因素。使用美国中年发展（MIDUS）国家样本（N = 7，108;年龄= 20 - 75岁），本研究从三个来源（即，家庭，朋友，伴侣/配偶）对早期父母支持与慢性健康状况和抑郁症变化之间的关联。泊松模型表明，随着时间的推移，早期父母的支持水平低与更大的健康问题有关。然而，父母的支持和慢性健康状况之间的关联只对朋友压力更大的人有意义。此外，父母的支持和抑郁症之间的关联只对那些从伴侣/配偶那里得到低水平支持的人和与伴侣/配偶关系紧张的人有意义。目前的研究结果表明，特定来源的社会支持和社会压力在缓冲个人因缺乏早期父母支持而经历更多问题结果的风险方面发挥着重要作用。
A lack of emotional support from parents during childhood has been found to predict both physical and mental health problems (i.e., chronic health conditions, depression) during middle and older adulthood. Less research has examined the factors that may either buffer or amplify this association. Using the Midlife Development in the United States (MIDUS) national sample (N = 7,108; age = 20-75 years), the current study examined the moderating role of social support and social strain from three sources (i.e., family, friends, partner/spouse) on the association between early parental support and changes in chronic health conditions and depression. Poisson models indicated that low levels of early parental support were associated with greater health problems over time. However, the association between parental support and chronic health conditions was only significant for individuals with greater levels of friend strain. Additionally, the association between parental support and depression was only significant for individuals with low levels of support from a partner/spouse and high levels of strain from relationships with a partner/spouse. The current findings demonstrate the important role of source-specific social support and social strain in buffering individuals' risk for experiencing increased problematic outcomes in response to a lack of early parental support.
