摘要：

This study assessed the efficacy of selected variables from the Parents and Children Coping Together (PACT) model, which was designed to predict maternal HIV effects on child/adolescent outcomes. Data from two longitudinal studies applying PACT measures were utilized, encompassing a 7-year assessment time span for HIV-infected mothers and their children. Both maternal and child-based measures were evaluated, and a sequential longitudinal design was adopted. Structural equation modeling using full information maximum likelihood was performed to assess the proposed model. Results show the PACT model was viable in predicting child/adolescent outcomes of self-concept and depression. Study implications are discussed, including the influences of maternal factors on child's self-concept and depression and a reconsideration of the effect of family cohesion on child/adolescent outcomes.
