The psychological study of resilience has increasingly underscored the need for children and families to access material and psychological resources to positively adapt to significant stress. Redistributive policies-policies that downwardly reallocate society's social and economic resources-can offer economically disadvantaged families sustained access to these resources and mitigate the harmful impacts of adversity. This conceptual article builds upon and integrates insights from psychological and policy research to develop a unifying multilevel resilience framework, which we call the Social Determinants of Resilience. We examine four U.S. redistributive policies that have been extensively studied for their effects on child and family outcomes as case studies: (1) Medicaid expansion; (2) the Earned Income Tax Credit; (3) childcare subsidies; and (4) Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. Informed by a scoping review of each policy, we propose that redistributive policies promote children's resilience through three mechanisms by (1) increasing families' resource and service access; (2) reducing family stress; and (3) enhancing adaptive cognitions, emotions, behaviors, and interpersonal processes that protect against the development of psychopathology and promote positive mental health outcomes. Highlighting current evidence for these resilience mechanisms as well as gaps in knowledge, we conclude by setting a multidisciplinary research agenda that can leverage this conceptual framework to advance the science on how redistributive policies enable children and families to thrive.

复原力的社会决定因素：整合心理学和政策研究的概念框架。


对弹性的心理学研究越来越强调儿童和家庭需要获得物质和心理资源，以积极适应巨大的压力。再分配政策——向下重新分配社会社会和经济资源的政策——可以为经济上处于不利地位的家庭提供持续获得这些资源的机会，并减轻逆境的有害影响。这篇概念性文章建立并整合了心理学和政策研究的见解，以开发一个统一的多层次韧性框架，我们称之为韧性的社会决定因素。我们以案例研究的形式研究了四项美国再分配政策，这些政策因其对儿童和家庭结果的影响而得到广泛研究：（1） 医疗补助扩大;（2） 收入所得税抵免;（3） 育儿补贴;（4） 为贫困家庭提供临时援助。在对每项政策进行范围界定审查后，我们建议再分配政策通过三种机制促进儿童的复原力，包括 （1） 增加家庭的资源和服务机会;（2） 减轻家庭压力;（3） 增强适应性认知、情绪、行为和人际关系过程，以防止精神病理学的发展并促进积极的心理健康结果。强调了这些弹性机制的当前证据以及知识差距，我们最后设定了一个多学科研究议程，可以利用这个概念框架来推进关于再分配政策如何使儿童和家庭茁壮成长的科学。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 （c） 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
