Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the longitudinal relationship between cultural adaptation stress, daily life stress, and psychological health of mothers from multicultural families through a potential growth model. The analysis focused on the mediating effects of cultural adaptation stress, daily life stress, and psychological health of mothers from multicultural families, and daily life stress on psychological health. Among the multicultural youth panel data from 2015 to 2019, 1,058 people were analyzed, excluding Korean mothers and mothers who did not respond. As a result, it was found that the higher the cultural adaptation stress of mothers from multicultural families, the lower the daily life stress and psychological health, and the rate of change in cultural adaptation stress had a positive effect on the rate of change, but not on psychological health. In addition, the mediating effect of daily life stress was confirmed in the relationship between cultural adaptation stress and psychological health. Second, the higher the cultural adaptation stress, the higher the rate of change in daily life stress over time. Third, a negative relationship was confirmed in which the higher the initial value of cultural adaptation stress, the lower the initial value of psychological health.
