Although the Family Stress Model (FSM) has been widely tested, expanded conceptualizations of stressors, intervening mechanisms, and developmental outcomes from this perspective is becoming increasingly common in order to better explain the adolescent adjustment. Additionally, though extant research analyzes the utility of the FSM in African American and European–American samples, little is known about the representativeness of the FSM in Latino/a samples, and cross-ethnoracial comparisons are scarce. The present study addresses these gaps by conducting cross-ethnic comparisons in a modified FSM between African American, European–American, and U.S. Latino/a ethnoracial adolescents. Findings revealed that perceived neighborhood safety was indirectly associated with youth prosocial behavior through parent mental health symptoms and family conflict for African Americans, U.S. Latino/as, and European–Americans. Objective neighborhood risk predicted parent mental health symptoms but was not indirectly associated with youths' prosocial behavior. Results generally suggest that the FSM may adequately represent family processes across ethnoracial groups. The usefulness and practical implications of the FSM are discussed.

早期青少年亲社会行为的客观和主观邻里预测因素的跨种族比较

尽管家庭压力模型 (FSM) 已得到广泛测试，但为了更好地解释青少年适应，从这个角度对压力源、干预机制和发展结果的扩展概念变得越来越普遍。此外，尽管现有研究分析了 FSM 在非裔美国人和欧美样本中的效用，但对 FSM 在拉丁裔/a 样本中的代表性知之甚少，跨种族比较也很少。本研究通过在非裔美国人、欧洲裔美国人和美国拉丁裔/种族青少年之间在修改后的 FSM 中进行跨种族比较来解决这些差距。调查结果显示，对于非裔美国人、美国拉丁裔/美国人和欧洲裔美国人，感知邻里安全与青少年亲社会行为通过父母的心理健康症状和家庭冲突间接相关。客观邻里风险预测了父母的心理健康症状，但与青少年的亲社会行为没有间接关联。结果通常表明 FSM 可以充分代表跨种族群体的家庭过程。讨论了 FSM 的有用性和实际意义。
