OBJECTIVE This study tested the Adaptation to Poverty-Related Stress (APRS) model's proposed relationships between poverty-related stress (PRS), ethnic identity affirmation (EI), social support, engagement coping, and depression in a racial/ethnically diverse sample of low-income parents. METHOD Path analysis was used to test the APRS model in a sample of 602 parents living at or below 200% of the federal poverty line (50% male, mean age = 32.55 years, SD = 8.78, 34.8% White). Multigroup path analysis tested moderation by gender and race/ethnicity. RESULTS Path analysis revealed that PRS was indirectly associated with higher depressive symptoms through less social support and less use of engagement coping operating in parallel and sequentially in a three-path mediated sequence. Conversely, EI was indirectly associated with lower depressive symptoms through greater social support and greater use of engagement coping operating in parallel and sequentially. However, PRS remained a direct predictor of higher depressive symptoms. Moderation by gender and race/ethnicity was not found. CONCLUSION Overall, the findings provide empirical support for the APRS model. This study suggests that clinical and preventive interventions targeting depression in low-income parents could benefit from focusing on improving low-income parent's use of engagement coping and perceived social support. Ethnic identity is a promising target as it to protects against PRS' negative impact on coping and social support. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).

种族认同，社会支持和应对低收入父母的抑郁症的保护作用：适应贫困相关压力模型的测试。

目的这项研究测试了适应贫困相关压力（APRS）模型在贫困/种族，种族差异样本中的与贫困相关的压力（PRS），族裔认同（EI），社会支持，参与应对和抑郁之间的建议关系。 -收入父母。方法采用路径分析法对602名生活在或低于联邦贫困线200％的父母（50％的男性，平均年龄= 32.55岁，SD = 8.78，34.8％的白人）的父母样本中的APRS模型进行测试。多组路径分析测试了性别和种族/民族的节制。结果路径分析显示，PRS与较低的抑郁症状间接相关，这是由于较少的社会支持和较少使用的参与应对方式（以三路径介导的顺序并行和顺序地进行）。反过来，EI通过更多的社会支持和更多地同时使用和顺次进行的参与应对而间接地降低了抑郁症的症状。然而，PRS仍然是抑郁症较高症状的直接预测因子。未发现性别和种族/民族的节制。结论总体而言，研究结果为APRS模型提供了经验支持。这项研究表明，针对低收入父母的抑郁症的临床和预防性干预措施可以从专注于改善低收入父母对参与应对和感知社会支持的使用中受益。种族认同是一个有希望的目标，因为它可以防止PRS对应对和社会支持的负面影响。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
