内容摘要: 目的:居住在美国的移民和非移民家庭之间的亲子冲突的模式不同(Fuligni, 1998)。尽管如此,关于移民家庭中的亲子冲突的细微差别性质的实证文献研究非常有限。为了填补这一空白,本研究考察了在预测拉丁裔青少年社会心理结果(即,抑郁症状与族裔认同)时两种类型冲突的角色(即,总冲突的与文化适应冲突),以及在受到同伴歧视的情况下这些关系是否有所不同。方法:所有的调查管理在参加学校的餐厅内完成。样本包括第七至第十年级组(样本172),平均年龄为14.01岁(标准差 1.32)。样本包括53%的女性,主要是来自墨西哥(78%)。结果为:正像所假设的,即使控制了亲子冲突,亲子间文化适应的冲突独特地预示了更大的抑郁症状和更低的少数族裔私人关注。然而,只在更大的同伴歧视的存在的情况下,文化适应冲突预示了低的族裔私有关注。更具体地说,同伴歧视调节了文化适应和民族私有关注之间的关系,即,报告最高水平文化冲突和同行人歧视的青少年则报告最低水平的族裔私人关注。结论:这些结果表明对拉丁裔青少年和他们的家庭,与一般的冲突相比,文化的冲突问题可能是特别严重的。此外,在家庭和学校的背景都面临着基于种族的压力的青年,他们的族裔认同进展方面处于危险境地。
Abstract: Objectives: Patterns of parent-adolescent conflict differ between immigrant and nonimmigrant families living in the United States (Fuligni, 1998). Despite this, there is limited empirical literature examining the nuanced nature of parent-adolescent conflict in immigrant families. To fill this gap, the current study examined the role of 2 types of conflict (i.e., general and acculturation) in predicting psychosocial outcomes (i.e., depressive symptoms and ethnic identity) among Latino adolescents, and whether these relationships differ within the context of peer discrimination. Method: All survey administration was completed in the participating school's cafeteria. The sample consisted of 7th through 10th graders (n = 172) with a mean age of 14.01 years (SD = 1.32.) The sample consisted of 53% females, and was primarily Mexican in origin (78%). Results: As hypothesized, parent-adolescent acculturation conflict uniquely predicted greater depressive symptoms and lower ethnic private regard, even when controlling for parent-adolescent general conflict. However, acculturation conflict predicted lower ethnic private regard only in the presence of greater peer discrimination. More specifically, peer discrimination moderated the relation between acculturation conflict and ethnic private regard such that adolescents who reported the highest levels of acculturation conflict and peer discrimination reported the lowest levels of ethnic private regard. Conclusions: These results suggest that for Latino youth and their families, acculturation conflict may be particularly problematic, as compared with general conflict. In addition, youth who face ethnicity-based stressors in both familial and school contexts are especially at risk in their ethnic identity development.
