This study examined profiles of family functioning, stress, psychological well-being, and social support in families participating in early head start; family characteristics that relate to profile membership; and the relationship of profiles to child social-emotional functioning. Because families' levels of functioning and well-being vary widely within low-income samples, we used a person-centered approach to understand how variations among families are linked with children's social-emotional skills. Our latent profile analysis of a sample of 246 families identified three profiles of family functioning and well-being: low stress, high family functioning (63%); moderate family stress, low family functioning (25%); and high psychological distress and parenting stress (12%). Children's social-emotional functioning, both social competence and problem behavior, related to profile membership. Children in the low stress, high family functioning profile displayed the most optimal social-emotional skills. These results highlight the importance of supporting family functioning and decreasing family stress to influence young children's positive behaviors.

将早期开端儿童的社会情感功能与家庭功能和压力的概况联系起来。

本研究调查了参与早期启蒙的家庭的家庭功能、压力、心理健康和社会支持的概况；与个人资料成员资格相关的家庭特征；以及个人资料与儿童社交情感功能的关系。由于低收入样本中家庭的功能和幸福水平差异很大，我们使用以人为本的方法来了解家庭差异如何与儿童的社交情感技能相关联。我们对 246 个家庭样本的潜在概况分析确定了家庭功能和幸福感的三个概况：低压力、高家庭功能（63%）；中度家庭压力，低家庭功能 (25%)；以及高心理困扰和养育压力 (12%)。儿童的社会情感功能，社交能力和问题行为都与个人资料成员相关。压力小、家庭功能高的儿童表现出最佳的社交情感技能。这些结果强调了支持家庭功能和减少家庭压力对影响幼儿积极行为的重要性。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
