项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this research is to understand the processes underlying associations among forms of family and community adversity on children's mental health. Several primary hypotheses are proposed. First, it is predicted that greater adversity will be associated with greater concurrent and subsequent maladjustment in children; furthermore, neighborhood and family adversity are explored as potentially impacting children's adjustment additively as well as mediationally (community impacting through the family). Second, the mediating processes by which adversity relates to psychopathology will be considered. Guided by theories of attachment and emotional security, it is hypothesized that adversity increases children's vulnerability to adjustment problems by fostering children's negative internal representations of the family and the neighborhood. Third, parental communication patterns are proposed as potential buffers of the impact of family and community adversity. Consistent with socialization models, it is predicted that parental explanations that emphasize family cohesion and coping efficacy will buffer children from the effects of adversity. To test the proposed hypotheses, two multimethod, prospective longitudinal studies will be completed with two groups of children, their primary caregivers, and their teachers.

描述（由申请人提供）：本研究的目的是了解家庭和社区逆境对儿童心理健康的潜在关联过程。提出了几个主要假设。首先，预测更大的逆境将与更大的儿童并发和随后的适应不良有关；此外，邻里和家庭逆境被探讨为潜在的影响儿童适应的附加和中介（社区影响通过家庭）。其次，将考虑逆境与精神病理相关的中介过程。在依恋和情感安全理论的指导下，假设逆境通过培养儿童对家庭和邻里的负面内在表征而增加儿童对适应问题的脆弱性。第三，提出父母沟通模式作为家庭和社区逆境影响的潜在缓冲。与社会化模型一致，预测强调家庭凝聚力和应对效能的父母解释将缓冲儿童对逆境的影响。为了检验提出的假设，两项多方法的前瞻性纵向研究将在两组儿童、他们的主要照顾者和他们的老师中完成。
