项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): System justification theory proposes that individuals develop belief systems to explain and legitimize existing status differences between groups in societies. Although people differ in the extent to which they endorse system-justifying beliefs, research shows they are widely endorsed and have important implications for mental health. In particular, recent research has found that system justification is related to mental disorders among members of low-status groups. However, the current research is limited by its focus on college samples and use of cross-sectional methods. The long-term objective of this application is to extend the current research on system justification by examining system justification as a risk factor for mental illness among low-income racial/ethnic minorities and recent immigrants, exploring relationships longitudinally and studying associations between maternal system justification and mental health and child behavior problems. The current project, comprised of two studies, relies on data from NYU's Center for Research on Culture, Development and Education (CRCDE), which have a number of advantages. First, the sample is composed of 200 low-income, immigrant and ethnically diverse women who recently gave birth in New York City. Second, mothers and their infants are followed longitudinally over three years and assessed using well- validated epidemiological screening tools for maternal mental disorders and child behavior problems. Third, the CRCDE combines quantitative survey measures with an embedded qualitative study of a random sample of survey members, allowing for a more nuanced understanding of relationships between constructs. The first study, focused on survey data, employs regression-based change score analyses and structural equation modeling techniques to explore longitudinal associations between maternal system justification, maternal mental illness and child behavior problems. I hypothesize that system justification will be positively related to maternal risk for mental illness and child behavior problems. The second study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining survey and qualitative data to explore the types of system- justifying beliefs endorsed by diverse low-income women, and identify factors that mitigate or exacerbate the relationship between system justification, maternal mental disorders and child behavior problems. The proposed project has direct implications for public health. System justification may be an important previously unidentified risk factor placing mothers and their children at risk for mental disorders and behavior problems. Understanding the role of system justification in mental health can inform policy and intervention efforts aimed at improving the mental health of vulnerable groups in the US.

描述（由申请人提供）：系统论证理论提出，个人发展信仰体系来解释社会中群体之间现有的地位差异并使之合法化。尽管人们对系统合理性信念的认可程度不同，但研究表明它们得到了广泛认可，并对心理健康具有重要影响。特别是，最近的研究发现，制度合理性与低地位群体成员的精神障碍有关。然而，目前的研究因其对大学样本的关注和横截面方法的使用而受到限制。该应用程序的长期目标是通过检查系统合理性作为低收入种族/族裔少数群体和新移民精神疾病的危险因素，纵向探索关系并研究母性系统合理性之间的关联，来扩展当前对系统合理性的研究。以及心理健康和儿童行为问题。当前的项目由两项研究组成，依赖于纽约大学文化、发展和教育研究中心 (CRCDE) 的数据，该数据具有许多优势。首先，样本由 200 名最近在纽约市分娩的低收入、移民和多种族女性组成。其次，对母亲及其婴儿进行为期三年的纵向跟踪，并使用经过充分验证的流行病学筛查工具对母亲精神障碍和儿童行为问题进行评估。第三，CRCDE 将定量调查措施与对调查成员随机样本的嵌入式定性研究相结合，从而可以更细致地了解结构之间的关系。第一项研究侧重于调查数据，采用基于回归的变化评分分析和结构方程建模技术来探索母亲系统合理性、母亲精神疾病和儿童行为问题之间的纵向关联。我假设系统合理性与孕产妇患精神疾病和儿童行为问题的风险呈正相关。第二项研究采用混合方法，结合调查和定性数据，探讨不同低收入妇女认可的制度合理性信念类型，并确定减轻或加剧制度合理性、母亲精神障碍和儿童之间关系的因素。行为问题。拟议的项目对公共卫生有直接影响。系统合理性可能是一个先前未被识别的重要风险因素，使母亲及其子女面临精神障碍和行为问题的风险。了解系统合理性在心理健康中的作用可以为旨在改善美国弱势群体心理健康的政策和干预措施提供信息。
