초록

Objective: This study aimed to examine the influence of maternal acculturative stress on adolescents’ internalizing problems through daily maternal stress, parenting efficacy, and neglectful parenting in multicultural families. Methods: For the aim, this study used data from the Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study (MAPS) and utilized Model 6 of the PROCESS macro method. Results: The findings are summarized as follows. First, mothers’ daily stress mediated the influence of mothers’ acculturative stress on children’s internalizing problems. Levels of acculturative stress increased levels of daily stress and, in turn, increased levels of internalizing problems. Second, mothers’ parenting efficacy mediated the influence of mothers’ acculturative stress on children’s internalizing problems. Levels of acculturative stress decreased levels of parenting efficacy and, in turn, increased levels of internalizing problems. Third, mothers’ parenting efficacy and neglectful parenting double- mediated the influence of mothers’ acculturative stress on children’s internalizing problems. Levels of acculturative stress decreased levels of parenting efficacy, which, in turn, increased levels of neglectful parenting and, finally, increased levels of internalizing problems. Conclusion: This study concluded with suggesting practical implications to reduce multicultural children’s internalizing problems.
