摘要
大学教育与妥协的教育方式有关,但其机制尚不清楚。本研究考察了文化一致性——个人生活与共同文化模式的一致程度——作为母亲逆境和三种养育方式(暴力管教、积极管教和认知刺激)之间的中介。方法收集并分析了多米尼加共和国2024- 2025年1019名生活在贫困中的母亲的数据。母亲逆境被建模为一个潜在的构念,包括不良的童年经历、亲密伴侣暴力和抑郁症状。文化一致性评估跨越物质社会和家庭动态领域。结构方程模型检验中介作用;回归探讨了家庭结构和生育年龄的预测因素。结果逆境降低了物质社会性(β =−)。56, p < .001)和家庭动态一致性(β = -。87, p < .001)。对于暴力管教,家庭动态一致性具有保护作用(β =−)。37, p = 0.013),而物质社会一致性增加了其使用(β = 0.22, p < 0.001);逆境的影响是完全中介的。对于积极纪律,逆境有积极的直接影响(β = 39, p = .014),但有消极的间接影响(β = -)。31, p = 0.025),提示有抑制作用。对于刺激,逆境的正面直接效应(β = 0.44, p = 0.018)被更强的负面间接效应(β =−)所抵消。61, p < .001),产生负的总效应。家庭结构和第一次生育的年龄塑造了这些途径。有父母和其他成年人的家庭有更好的结果;有多个孩子的单身母亲面临着最大的挑战。父系和谐一致地预测认知刺激;所有家庭领域的和谐都能防止暴力纪律。结论:增强文化一致性的干预措施可以补充传统的育儿计划,但应根据家庭组成和母亲的年龄进行调整。
Cultural consonance as a mediator between maternal adversity and parenting practices across family contexts in the Dominican Republic
Background
Adversity is linked to compromised parenting, but the mechanisms remain unclear. This study examines cultural consonance—the extent to which individuals’ lives align with shared cultural models—as a mediator between maternal adversity and three parenting practices: violent discipline, positive discipline, and cognitive stimulation.
Methods
We collected and analyzed data from 1019 mothers living in poverty in 2024-25 in the Dominican Republic. Maternal adversity was modeled as a latent construct including adverse childhood experiences, intimate partner violence, and depression symptoms. Cultural consonance was assessed across material-social and family dynamics domains. Structural equation models tested mediation; regressions explored predictors by family structure and maternity onset age.
Results
Adversity lowered material-social (β = −.56, p < .001) and family dynamics consonance (β = −.87, p < .001). For violent discipline, family dynamics consonance was protective (β = −.37, p = .013), while material-social consonance increased its use (β = .22, p < .001); adversity's effect was fully mediated. For positive discipline, adversity had a positive direct effect (β = 39, p = .014) but negative indirect effects (β = −.31, p = .025), suggesting suppression. For stimulation, adversity's positive direct effects (β = .44, p = .018) were offset by stronger negative indirect effects (β = −.61, p < .001), yielding a negative total effect. Family structure and age at first childbirth shaped these pathways. Households with both parents and other adults had better outcomes; single mothers with multiple children faced the greatest challenges. Paternal consonance consistently predicted cognitive stimulation; consonance in all family domains were protective against violent discipline.
Conclusions
Interventions that enhance cultural consonance may complement traditional parenting programs, but they should be tailored to the family composition and the mother's age.
期刊介绍:
Social Science & Medicine provides an international and interdisciplinary forum for the dissemination of social science research on health. We publish original research articles (both empirical and theoretical), reviews, position papers and commentaries on health issues, to inform current research, policy and practice in all areas of common interest to social scientists, health practitioners, and policy makers. The journal publishes material relevant to any aspect of health from a wide range of social science disciplines (anthropology, economics, epidemiology, geography, policy, psychology, and sociology), and material relevant to the social sciences from any of the professions concerned with physical and mental health, health care, clinical practice, and health policy and organization. We encourage material which is of general interest to an international readership.
