Stress is a potent disruptor of parents' emotional well-being and interactions with their children. In the context of the early months of the unfolding pandemic, parents' stress likely fluctuated, with downstream impacts on their parenting experiences. The sample consisted of 72 Latina mothers who participated in a 15-20-min phone interview roughly once a month between March 2020 and January 2021. Mothers were asked about their experiences of stress, the quality of partner support, and their emotional experience of parenting. Analyses revealed that mothers' experiences of stress were high at the beginning of the pandemic and slowly decreased as time went on, though this decline eventually leveled off. Partner support and mothers' emotional experiences of parenting, on the other hand, did not change across the first 10 months of the pandemic. Collectively, the within and between analyses revealed that stress (individually), and stress and support (interactively) were associated with mothers' emotional experiences while interacting with their children. Between-subjects analyses revealed greater stress was associated with greater negative emotions during parenting, though support did not buffer this association. Within-subjects analyses revealed a quadratic association between stress and positive parenting emotions, such that at lower levels of stress, increases in stress were associated with more positive than typical emotions during parenting. However, the inclusion of social support into the model as a moderator revealed that when mothers received less support than typical from their partners, mothers' greater experience of stress was associated with their greater experience of negativity during parent-child interactions.

压力和支持的偏差：COVID-19 大流行期间与育儿情绪的关联。

压力会严重破坏父母的情绪健康以及与孩子的互动。在疫情爆发的最初几个月里，父母的压力可能会出现波动，从而对他们的育儿经历产生下游影响。该样本由 72 名拉丁裔母亲组成，她们在 2020 年 3 月至 2021 年 1 月期间大约每月接受一次 15 至 20 分钟的电话采访。母亲们被问及她们的压力经历、伴侣支持的质量以及养育子女的情感体验。分析显示，母亲们的压力体验在大流行初期很高，但随着时间的推移慢慢下降，尽管这种下降最终趋于平稳。另一方面，在大流行的前 10 个月里，伴侣的支持和母亲的育儿情感体验并没有改变。总的来说，内部和之间的分析表明，压力（单独）以及压力和支持（交互）与母亲在与孩子互动时的情绪体验相关。受试者间分析显示，养育期间更大的压力与更大的负面情绪相关，尽管支持并不能缓冲这种关联。受试者内部分析显示，压力与积极的养育情绪之间存在二次关联，因此，在压力较低的情况下，压力的增加与养育期间比典型情绪更积极的情绪相关。然而，将社会支持纳入模型作为调节因素表明，当母亲从伴侣那里得到的支持少于典型时，母亲更大的压力体验与她们在亲子互动中更大的消极体验有关。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
