Abstract

Objective: The goal of the present study was to cumulatively examine the effects of familial and material needs on rural Mexican adolescents' anxiety symptoms and stress, as assessed by anxiety symptoms and perceived stress. Additionally, we investigated whether individual- and family-level factors-resilience and family cohesion-moderate the links between familial and material needs and anxiety symptoms and stress.

Method: Participants were 200 adolescents between the ages of 13 and 17 (M_age = 14.9; 58% girls) from two public schools in a rural town in the State of Mexico, Mexico, who completed paper surveys.

Results: Hierarchical regressions revealed that difficult family situations, but not material needs, were positively and statistically significantly associated with anxiety symptoms (b = .18, p < .01) and perceived stress (b = .15, p < .05). Resilience and family cohesion were associated with decreased anxiety symptoms, and resilience was associated with lower perceived stress. At low and mean, but not high, levels of resilience, difficult family situations were strongly associated with anxiety symptoms. Similarly, at low, but not mean or high, levels of family cohesion, material needs were strongly associated with anxiety symptoms and stress.

Conclusions: Findings show that rural Mexican adolescents simultaneously contend with high levels of familial and material needs that negatively impact their anxiety symptoms and stress. Further, resilience and family cohesion can mitigate these outcomes, albeit to a certain extent. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).

导航家庭压力源和物质需求：检查弹性和家庭凝聚力作为墨西哥农村青少年的保护因素。

目的：本研究的目的是通过焦虑症状和感知压力来评估家庭和物质需求对墨西哥农村青少年焦虑症状和压力的影响。此外，我们调查了个人和家庭层面的因素——弹性和家庭凝聚力——是否调节了家庭和物质需求与焦虑症状和压力之间的联系。方法：参与者为200名年龄在13至17岁之间的青少年(Mage = 14.9；（58%的女孩）来自墨西哥墨西哥州一个乡村小镇的两所公立学校，他们完成了书面调查。结果：层次回归显示，家庭困难与焦虑症状（b = 0.18, p < 0.01）和感知压力（b = 0.15, p < 0.05）呈正相关，而物质需求与焦虑症状（b = 0.18, p < 0.01）和感知压力（b = 0.15, p < 0.05）无关。弹性和家庭凝聚力与焦虑症状的减少有关，而弹性与较低的感知压力有关。在较低和中等但不高的复原力水平下，困难的家庭状况与焦虑症状密切相关。同样，在家庭凝聚力较低（但不是中等或较高）的情况下，物质需求与焦虑症状和压力密切相关。结论：研究结果表明，墨西哥农村青少年同时面临着高水平的家庭和物质需求，这对他们的焦虑症状和压力产生了负面影响。此外，弹性和家庭凝聚力可以减轻这些后果，尽管在一定程度上。（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA，版权所有）。
