Abstract

Using six waves of data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (2007-2017) and the Childhood Retrospective Circumstances Study (2014) (n=3,240), this paper estimates how childhood experiences with parental mental health problems shape trajectories of children's own distress in adulthood. Findings indicate that those who experience poor parental mental health have consistently greater distress than their non-exposed counterparts throughout adulthood. More severe and longer exposures to parental mental health problems corresponds to even greater distress in adulthood. The gender of the parent afflicted does not predict differences in adult mental health, but those individuals exposed to both maternal and paternal poor mental health have the greatest distress in adulthood. Together, results suggest that parental mental health during children's formative years is a significant predictor of life course distress and that heterogeneity in this experience corresponds to unique mental health trajectories.

父母心理健康对儿童成年后痛苦轨迹的长期影响。
本文使用来自收入动态小组研究(2007-2017)和童年回顾环境研究(2014)(n=3,240)的六波数据,估计童年与父母心理健康问题的经历如何影响儿童成年后的痛苦轨迹。研究结果表明,在整个成年期,父母心理健康状况不佳的孩子比没有接触过的孩子一直承受更大的痛苦。与父母的心理健康问题接触越严重、时间越长,成年后的痛苦就越大。受折磨的父母的性别不能预测成年后心理健康的差异,但那些同时暴露于母亲和父亲心理健康状况不佳的个体在成年后的痛苦程度最大。综上所述,研究结果表明,在儿童形成时期,父母的心理健康状况是生命历程痛苦的重要预测因素,这种经历的异质性对应于独特的心理健康轨迹。
