Abstract

Background: With the increasing number of multicultural adolescents, concerns about their healthy development are also on the rise. This study aimed to examine the influence of mothers’ acculturative stress on adolescents’ depression in multicultural families with respect to the moderating effect of sex.Methods: A series of regression analyses were conducted using a sample of 1,052 adolescents from multicultural families composed of a foreign-born mother and a Korean father based on the 9th wave of the Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study (MAPS).Results: First, foreign-born mothers’ acculturative stress positively and significantly influenced adolescents’ depression. When the level of acculturative stress increased, so did the level of depression. Second, the influence of mothers’ acculturative stress on adolescents’ depression was moderated by sex. The influence was larger for female than for male adolescents.Conclusions: Based on its findings, this study discussed intervention strategies to address depression among multicultural adolescents.

母亲的文化适应压力对多元文化家庭青少年抑郁的影响——性别的调节作用

背景：随着多元文化青少年数量的增加，人们对他们健康发展的担忧也在增加。本研究旨在考察多元文化家庭中母亲的文化适应压力对青少年抑郁的影响，以及性别的调节作用。方法：基于第9波多元文化青少年小组研究（MAPS），对1052名来自由外籍母亲和韩国父亲组成的多元文化家庭的青少年进行了一系列回归分析。当文化适应压力水平增加时，抑郁水平也会增加。其次，母亲的文化适应压力对青少年抑郁的影响受性别调节。女性青少年的影响大于男性青少年。结论：基于研究结果，本研究讨论了解决多元文化青少年抑郁症的干预策略。

期刊介绍： The journal Stress aims to provide scientists involved in stress research with the possibility of reading a more integrated view of the field. Peer reviewed papers, invited reviews and short communications will deal with interdisciplinary aspects of stress in terms of: the mechanisms of stressful stimulation, including within and between individuals; the physiological and behavioural responses to stress, and their regulation, in both the short and long term; adaptive mechanisms, coping strategies and the pathological consequences of stress. Stress will publish the latest developments in physiology, neurobiology, molecular biology, genetics research, immunology, and behavioural studies as they impact on the understanding of stress and its adverse consequences and their amelioration. Specific approaches may include transgenic/knockout animals, developmental/programming studies, electrophysiology, histochemistry, neurochemistry, neuropharmacology, neuroanatomy, neuroimaging, endocrinology, autonomic physiology, immunology, chronic pain, ethological and other behavioural studies and clinical measures.
