三种模式的风险进行了检查，为277名非洲裔美国儿童从单亲母亲为首的家庭：累积，添加剂和间接模型。风险因素是母亲报告的社区风险，收入不足，母亲抑郁症状，和养育不足。儿童报告的内化和外化的困难作为依赖的调整措施。而累积风险模型确定了一个子集的儿童在这一组的风险调整困难，只有更近端的家庭变量（母亲抑郁症状和养育不足）占独特的变异在儿童的结果（加性风险模型）。然而，更远的危险因素社区风险和收入不足，都与内化和外化的困难，通过近端的家庭变量（间接效应模型）。
Three models of risk were examined for 277 African American children from single-mother-headed homes: cumulative, additive, and indirect models. Risk factors were mother-reported community risks, inadequate income, maternal depressive symptoms, and inadequate parenting. Child-reported internalizing and externalizing difficulties served as dependent measures of adjustment. Whereas the cumulative risk model identified a subset of children within this group as at-risk for adjustment difficulties, only more proximal family variables (maternal depressive symptoms and inadequate parenting) accounted for unique variance in child outcomes (additive risk model). However, the more distal risk factors community risk and inadequate income-were linked to both internalizing and externalizing difficulties through the proximal family variables (indirect effects model).
