Overview

Longitudinal data shows a spillover process between acculturative stress and daily stress in families, influencing parenting efficacy.

Key Points

  • This study aims to examine how parental stress relates to family dynamics in multicultural families using a longitudinal approach.
  • Analyzed longitudinal data from 1,424 parent-adolescent dyads in the Korean Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study.
  • Tested a four-wave model examining the relationships between maternal acculturative stress, daily stress, and parenting efficacy.
  • Examined autoregressive and cross-lagged effects over time.
  • Found that maternal acculturative stress predicted higher daily stress over time.
  • Confidence in parenting efficacy showed stability and positively predicted adolescents' school adjustment.
  • Confirmed the direction of stress associations aligned with family stress model expectations, despite an insignificant hypothesized pathway.
