摘要

The ability of a child to demonstrate resilience is a complex outcome influenced by multiple interconnected social systems. One system important to child resiliency is the family system, specifically parenting and the parent-child relationship. However, less is known about how macrosocial systems may affect the family system and, in turn, resiliency at the individual level. This study explored the effect of warm/responsive parenting and involvement on the association between adversity exposure and child internalizing and externalizing symptoms. Additionally, we examined the role of socioeconomic status (SES) and acculturation on the interaction between parenting, adversity, and child mental health to examine how contextual systems may influence the family-level system. Our sample was comprised of 308 mother-child dyads from racially, ethnically, and economically diverse backgrounds (47.1% had an income falling at or below the 33rd percentile for their county, 79.9% of mothers self-identified as belonging to either a racial or ethnic minoritized group) and included children aged 6–9 (M = 7.74 years, 49.4% male). Results showed that child adversity was associated with increased internalizing and externalizing symptoms. Warm/responsive parenting moderated the link between adversity and externalizing symptoms. When including SES and acculturation as moderators, the associations between adversity, parenting, and child mental health varied in complex ways. Findings highlight the importance of examining factors that promote resiliency across multiple systems and their implications for building interventions with greater relevance, accessibility, and effectiveness for families from diverse backgrounds.
