项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Objectives are to understand how fathers impact children's mental disorders, chronic stress-related physical health conditions, and behavioral problems during emerging adulthood. The study follows a representative sample of 393 Mexican- and European-American intact and stepfather families, recruited from AZ and CA when the children were in 7th grade, tracked with multi-agent reporting and multiple methods in 3 Waves through 10th grade. The study will undertake Wave 4 (12th grade) and Wave 5 (ages 19 - 20). It is guided by a Conceptual Model emphasizing the meanings that children give to fathering behaviors, and that includes biosocial mediators of the effects of fathering. Specific Aims: (1) identify continuities and discontinuities in father behaviors and meanings during emerging adulthood, (2) determine the effects of father behaviors and meanings on mental, physical, and behavioral health, over and above effects of mothering and social- contextual variables, (3) identify the social-contextual variables that predict father behaviors / meanings, (4) determine the role of a set of biosocial mediators (self-esteem, self-efficacy, social support, daily emotional and physiological processes) in the relation between father behaviors / meanings, and outcomes, (5) assess how the above differ by family type, ethnicity, and child gender. Methods employ standardized and open-ended measures, diary records of social and emotional experiences, and salivary cortisol stress responses. It is expected that intra-individual variation in the reactivity of self-esteem, self-efficacy, and perceptions of social support to daily stressful experiences is related to hormone reactivity, and that both are predicted by father behaviors / meanings. Empirical significance includes innovative daily socio-emotional measures, representativeness of the sample (important for public health use of findings), and the longitudinal cohort sequential multi-wave design in which every participant is measured 5 times, but the different intervals allow growth curve modeling of 14 different half-year points, over 10 years (ages 12 to 21). The findings will increase understanding of how fathering affects the physiological, social, emotional, and cognitive lives of emerging adults. Data provide needed information about the health status of Mexican- and European-American youth, and about how parenting affects health which will help guide the design of future interventions aimed at improving children's health. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The findings will increase understanding of how fathering affects the physiological, social, emotional, and cognitive lives of emerging adults. Data provide needed information about the health status of Mexican- and European-American youth, and about how parenting affects health which will help guide the design of future interventions aimed at improving children's health.

描述（由申请人提供）：目标是了解父亲如何影响儿童的精神障碍、慢性压力相关的身体健康状况以及成年初期的行为问题。该研究以 393 个墨西哥裔和欧洲裔美国人的完整家庭和继父家庭为代表，在孩子们七年级时从亚利桑那州和加利福尼亚州招募，通过多主体报告和多种方法在 3 Waves 到 10 年级进行跟踪。该研究将进行第 4 波（12 年级）和第 5 波（19 - 20 岁）。它以概念模型为指导，强调儿童赋予父亲行为的含义，其中包括父亲影响的生物社会中介因素。具体目标：(1) 确定成年初期父亲行为和意义的连续性和不连续性，(2) 确定父亲行为和意义对心理、身体和行为健康的影响，以及母性和社会背景变量的影响，（3）确定预测父亲行为/意义的社会背景变量，（4）确定一组生物社会中介的作用（自尊、自我效能、社会支持、日常情绪和生理）过程）在父亲的行为/意义和结果之间的关系中，（5）评估上述内容如何因家庭类型、种族和儿童性别而有所不同。方法采用标准化和开放式测量、社交和情感经历的日记记录以及唾液皮质醇应激反应。预计自尊、自我效能和对日常压力经历的社会支持感知的反应性的个体内部差异与激素反应性有关，并且两者都是由父亲的行为/意义预测的。实证意义包括创新的日常社会情感测量、样本的代表性（对于公共卫生使用结果很重要）以及纵向队列顺序多波设计，其中每个参与者都被测量 5 次，但不同的间隔允许生长曲线建模14 个不同的半年点，超过 10 年（12 岁至 21 岁）。这些发现将加深人们对父亲如何影响新生成年人的生理、社交、情感和认知生活的理解。数据提供了有关墨西哥和欧洲裔美国青少年健康状况以及养育方式如何影响健康的必要信息，这将有助于指导未来旨在改善儿童健康的干预措施的设计。公共健康相关性：这些发现将增进人们对父亲如何影响新生成年人的生理、社交、情感和认知生活的理解。数据提供了有关墨西哥和欧洲裔美国青少年健康状况以及养育方式如何影响健康的必要信息，这将有助于指导未来旨在改善儿童健康的干预措施的设计。
