This study of 52 predominantly lower income Jordanian and Syrian families with young children (31 girls; M_age = 53.37 months, SD = 3.53) in Jordan began in 2019, before the pandemic. Families were followed to explore stress physiology, family functioning, and mental health over the first 9 months of the pandemic. Mothers reported less adaptive coping and more negative changes to family life in June 2020 when their children had poorer behavioral self-regulation and more behavior problems, and when families had lower income, in 2019. More negative changes to family life predicted greater hair cortisol concentrations in children in June 2020, and more negative changes and less adaptive coping predicted worse child and mother psychosocial adjustment in December 2020.

约旦家庭对 COVID-19 大流行的肾上腺皮质和社会心理反应

这项研究 于 2019 年在大流行之前开始，对约旦52 个主要是低收入的约旦和叙利亚有幼儿的家庭（31 名女孩；M_年龄 = 53.37 个月，SD = 3.53）进行了研究。在大流行的前 9 个月，对家庭进行了追踪，以探索压力生理、家庭功能和心理健康。2020 年 6 月，当孩子的行为自我调节能力较差，行为问题较多，而家庭收入较低时，2020 年 6 月，母亲们报告称，家庭生活的适应能力较差，家庭生活出现更多负面变化。家庭生活的更多负面变化预示着头发皮质醇浓度更高在 2020 年 6 月的儿童中，更多的负面变化和更少的适应性应对预示着 2020 年 12 月儿童和母亲的心理社会适应会更差。
