Limited research exists on the association between cumulative risk factors and the psychosocial well-being of adolescents in low-income, culturally distinct settings. This study aimed to fill this gap by examining the impact of cumulative risk exposure on Ghanaian adolescents' psychosocial problems and exploring the mediating role of parenting. The study involved 212 adolescents (61% girls; average age = 13.38) who completed measures on cumulative risk, maternal and paternal warmth, behavioral control, anxiety, depression, overt aggression, and relational aggression. The results indicated that cumulative risk indirectly influenced adolescents' depression and overt aggression through paternal warmth. Furthermore, paternal behavioral control mediated the relationship between cumulative risk and adolescents' overt aggression. Findings highlight the importance of fathers' parenting in mediating cumulative risk effects.

加纳的累积背景风险、父母的养育方式以及青少年的社会心理问题

关于低收入、文化独特环境中累积风险因素与青少年社会心理健康之间关系的研究有限。本研究旨在通过研究累积风险暴露对加纳青少年心理社会问题的影响并探索养育的中介作用来填补这一空白。该研究涉及 212 名青少年（61% 是女孩；平均年龄 = 13.38 岁），他们完成了累积风险、母亲和父亲温暖、行为控制、焦虑、抑郁、公开攻击和关系攻击等方面的测量。结果表明，累积风险通过父亲的温暖间接影响青少年的抑郁和明显的攻击行为。此外，父亲的行为控制调节了累积风险与青少年公开攻击行为之间的关系。研究结果强调了父亲的养育方式在调节累积风险效应方面的重要性。
