ABSTRACT Low-English proficiency parents often have their bilingual children translate, called language brokering. Brokering can be stressful for low-income, Latino adolescents, who are already at-risk for depression. We tested the theory of resilience and relational load (TRRL) in a new context (in 100 low-income, Latino mother-adolescent dyads who engaged in language brokering) and extended TRRL by proposing security- and threat-based behaviors and appraisals can be represented by interaction goals. We examined mother warmth, mother brokering interaction goals of supporting and monitoring the adolescent, adolescent brokering feelings, and adolescent depressive symptoms. Mothers’ support goal was a protective factor against adolescent depression, but only when adolescents also inferred mothers pursued this goal. Adolescent positive brokering feelings were also a protective factor, as when positive feelings were high, the positive association between negative feelings and depression was not present. Findings supported TRRL propositions about relational maintenance, security-based goals, emotional reserves, and mental health.

语言中介期间低收入，拉丁裔家庭中的母亲与青少年沟通：研究弹性和关系负荷理论

摘要低英语水平的父母通常会把他们的双语孩子翻译成语言中介。对于低收入的拉丁裔青少年来说，经纪业务可能会给他们带来压力，他们已经处于抑郁症的危险中。我们在新的环境下（在100个从事语言中介的低收入拉丁裔母亲-青少年二元组中）测试了弹性和关系负荷（TRRL）的理论，并通过提出可以基于安全和威胁的行为和评估来扩展TRRL。以互动目标为代表。我们检查了母亲的温暖，支持和监控青少年的母亲中介互动目标，青少年中介的感觉和青少年抑郁症状。母亲的支持目标是防止青春期抑郁的保护因素，但是只有在青少年还推断母亲追求这一目标的情况下。青少年的积极性调解情绪也是一个保护因素，因为当积极性情绪高时，消极情绪与抑郁之间就不存在正向关联。研究结果支持TRRL关于关系维护，基于安全目标，情感储备和心理健康的主张。
