Prior studies have examined the influence of neighborhood perceptions on youth outcomes, but few studies have examined whose
report of neighborhoods, parents’ or youths,’ are most important in predicting youth outcomes. This study addresses the relative
associations of youths’ and mothers’ neighborhood perceptions with youth alcohol use and delinquency. The sample includes
499 mother-child dyads (youth age: 10 to 16 [mean=13.3; SD=2]). Structural equation modeling showed that youths’ perceived neighborhood problems were significantly associated with
their delinquency but not their alcohol use. However, mothers’ perceived neighborhood problems were not related to either
youth alcohol use or delinquency, suggesting that youths’ perceptions are better indicators of youth behavior. Youth reports
may reflect their activities in the neighborhood and their exposure to different forms of deviance, so youths’ reports would
be better indicators of exposure to neighborhood risk. Challenges for prevention are discussed.

Dating in adolescence plays an integral part in the development of sexual and social identities. This process is particularly
salient for sexual minority youth who face additional obstacles to their identity formation due to their marginalized status.
We investigated the influence of participating in a same-sex relationship (SSR) or an opposite-sex relationship (OSR) on sexual
minority youths’ psychological well-being (i.e., symptoms of depression, anxiety and internalized homophobia, and self-esteem)
in an ethnically-diverse sample of 350 youth (55% male) between the ages of 15–19 years, recruited from three GLBT drop-in
centers in the New York City area. Using longitudinal data, we examined youths’ SSR and OSR over time. Multivariate regression
analyses suggest that involvement in a SSR was positively associated with changes in self-esteem in males, and negatively
correlated with changes in internalized homophobia in females. We discuss the implications for positive development in sexual
minority adolescent populations. 相似文献

This study examines whether parents have the prerequisite knowledge about police interrogation that would allow them to compensate
for youths’ knowledge deficits, protect their interests, and buffer against their vulnerability to coercion. A racially diverse
urban/suburban convenience sample of 77 11- to 13-year-olds, 46 14- to 15-year-olds, and 47 16- to 17-year-olds and their
parents completed a semi-structured interview on knowledge of legal rights and police practices. Results show that parents
know more than younger adolescents about components of the Miranda warning and its behavioral implications but do not necessarily know more about police strategy or the parameters of parental
protection. Age and socioeconomic status were associated with youths’ risk for poor knowledge. Among parents, IQ, race, and
the child’s age predicted risk classification. Parent IQ, socioeconomic status, and youths’ justice experience, race, and
age predicted whether families were classified as at risk for poor knowledge. The results question legal assumptions about
parents’ capacity for protecting youths’ interests without intervention.

Gender Differences in the Educational Expectations of Urban,Low-Income African American Youth: The Role of Parents and the School 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
This study examined how youths’ gender is related to the educational expectations of urban, low-income African American youth,
their parents, and their teachers. As predicted, African American boys (ages 9–16) reported lower expectations for future
educational attainment than did their female counterparts. Parents and teachers also reported lower expectations for African
American boys (ages 6–16) than for girls. These findings held even when controlling for academic achievement. Contrary to
predictions, the magnitude of the difference in expectations for males vs. females did not increase as a function of youths’
age. In keeping with our hypotheses, parental expectations fully mediated the relation between youths’ gender and youths’
expectations. Finally, certain school-based factors (i.e., positive teacher expectations and positive youth perceptions of
the school environment) appeared to protect youths’ expectations from the deleterious impact of low parental expectations.

Most studies that explore parental knowledge of youths’ activities utilize parents’ and youths’ reports separately. Using
a sample of 938 rural early adolescents (53% female; 84% White), we explore congruence between mothers’ and youths’ perceptions
of maternal knowledge and its association with youth problem behaviors (delinquency, substance use, and attitudes towards
substances). Maternal overestimation of knowledge (compared to youths’ ratings) was positively associated with delinquency
and negatively associated with healthy drug attitudes. Significant differences in problem behaviors were found between four
groups created based on mothers’ and youths’ level of knowledge (High Youth and Mother, High Youth/Low Mother, Low Youth/High
Mother, and Low Youth and Mother). The High Youth and Mother group demonstrated less substance use and healthier drug attitudes
than the Low Youth and Mother group. The Low Youth/High Mother group had significantly higher levels of substance use and
delinquency than the High Youth and Mother group. Intervention implications are discussed. 相似文献

Existing research leaves a gap in explaining why African American adolescents do not exhibit more anxiety and depression than
other youth, at the same time that they experience more contextual risk factors. The current study examined the roles of social
support as well as possible mediators self-esteem and ethnic identity (sense of belonging to one’s ethnic group) in reducing
internalizing symptoms in 227 African American adolescents (mean age = 12.55). Structural equation models indicated that self-esteem
and ethnic identity partially mediated the relation between social support and depression. For depression, ethnic identity
accounted for more of the social support effect for males, whereas self-esteem had more impact for females. The mediation
model for anxiety was supported in females, with self-esteem more important than ethnic identity. The results suggest that
ethnic identity and self-esteem function as important links in how social support reduces internalizing symptoms in African
American youth.

While having a purpose in life has been theorized as a developmental asset, the extent to which adolescents cultivate a meaningful
sense of direction is not well understood. In the present study, cluster analysis was used to classify adolescents by levels
of purpose exploration and commitment. The sample (N = 318; 55% female) consisted of youth aged 14–18 and was predominantly White/non-Hispanic (76.3%). Results supported four
meaningful yet distinguishable profiles of youth purpose that are largely consistent with theories on identity formation:
Achieved, Foreclosed, Uncommitted, and Diffused. Hypothesized linkages with affect and hope were established across the profiles
such that positive emotions and goal-directed thinking were most apparent among Achieved and Foreclosed youth and least apparent
among Diffused and Uncommitted youth. Overall, findings demonstrate the inherent complexity in adolescents’ engagement with
purpose and suggest a correspondence between stronger commitments to purpose and youths’ sense of personal agency and well-being. 相似文献

Recent research suggests that youths interpret parental control and that this may have implications for how control affects
youths’ adjustment. In this study, we propose that youths’ feelings about being over-controlled by parents and feeling connected
to parents are intermediary processes linking parental control and youths’ adjustment. We used three years of longitudinal
data sampled from 1,022 Swedish youths in 7th, 8th, and 9th grade (47.3% girls; 12–17 years old, M age = 14.28 years, SD = .98) who were mainly Swedish in ethnic origin. We tested models linking parental control (i.e., rules,
restriction of freedom, and coldness-rejection) to adjustment (i.e., norm-breaking, depressive symptoms, and self-esteem)
through youths feeling over-controlled by and connected to parents. The overall model incorporating youths’ feelings showed
that restrictions and coldness-rejection were both indirectly linked to increases in norm-breaking and depressive symptoms
through increases in youths feeling over-controlled. Parental rules still independently predicted decreases in norm-breaking
and in self-esteem, and coldness-rejection predicted increases in norm-breaking. In addition, some paths (e.g., feeling over-controlled
to self-esteem) depended on the youths’ age, whereas others depended on their gender. These results suggest that when youths’
feelings are taken into account, all behavioral control is not the same, and the line between behavioral control and psychological
control is blurred. We conclude that it is important to consider youths’ feelings of being controlled and suggest that future
research focus more on exploring this idea. 相似文献

There is a dearth of literature that examines rural youths’ school transition and adaptation over the middle and high school
years. Given rural education challenges, this study examines rural youths’ developmental trajectories of self-reported grades
and affective and behavioral educational outcomes (i.e., school belonging, value of education, school misbehavior, and extracurricular
activity participation). The cohort-sequential study consisted of 3,312 African American and White youth (50% female) who
were surveyed over three and a half years, including the transition to high school. The results reveal significant changes
in the outcomes from sixth to twelfth grade. For example, on average, school misbehavior increased over time while perceived
school belonging decreased over time. Gender and race differences emerged; African American youth reported placing higher
importance on education and less participation in school activities than White youth. The discussion focuses on the importance
of examining rural adolescents’ educational pathways during the high school transition. 相似文献

Adolescents’ Reports of Parental Engagement and Academic Achievement in Immigrant Families 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The purpose of this study was to add to the understanding of the effects of perceived parental engagement on adolescents’
academic achievement in immigrant families. Self-report data were collected from 1,245 adolescents in immigrant families from
four high schools in Los Angeles County. The sample characteristics follow: 13–16 years old (M = 14.5); 58.9% female, 41.1% male; 57.5% Latino; 40.6% 1st generation youth (i.e., foreign born), 59.4% 2nd generation youth.
After controlling for parental educational attainment, parental engagement variables were indirectly related to grades through
youths’ academic engagement. Multigroup SEM indicated some differences between genders, generational statuses, and ethnicities
(Latinos versus others). Adolescents’ perceptions of monitoring by mothers and fathers were indirectly related to grades through
academic engagement. Perceived educational advice by mothers was indirectly related to grades through academic engagement
for non-Latinos, boys, and 2nd generation youth. Perceived mothers’ schoolwork help was positively related to adolescents’
academic engagement in all the models (except 2nd generation youth), yet fathers’ schoolwork help was significant only for
girls and 2nd generation youth.

Mexican-origin adolescent mothers are at increased risk for poor psychosocial functioning as a result of various stressors
with which they must contend; however, existing theory suggests that cultural strengths may help mitigate the negative effects
of stress. As such, the current study examined the associations between cultural and economic stressors and Mexican-origin
adolescent mothers’ (N = 207; M age = 16.23 years, SD = 1.0) internalizing and externalizing behaviors, as well as the degree to which ethnic identity affirmation
and familism values moderated these links. Adolescent mothers who reported higher levels of discrimination, acculturative
stress, and economic stress also reported higher depressive symptoms and greater involvement in risky behaviors. Importantly,
ethnic identity affirmation minimized the negative associations between cultural stressors and adolescents’ involvement in
risky behaviors, with the associations being weakest among adolescents with high levels of ethnic identity. Familism appeared
to serve a protective function under conditions of low levels of discrimination, but not under conditions of high levels of
discrimination. Findings are discussed with special attention to the developmental and cultural contexts in which these adolescent
mothers’ lives are embedded, and implications for future research and practice are presented. 相似文献

A Closer Look at Peer Discrimination,Ethnic Identity,and Psychological Well-being Among Urban Chinese American Sixth Graders 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1
Recent research suggests that although ethnic discrimination may have negative consequences for psychological well-being among
youth of Chinese descent as it does for other ethnic groups, ethnic identity beliefs may buffer against such effects. Data
for this study were drawn from the Early Adolescent Cohort Study, an investigation of contextual influences on the social,
emotional, and academic adjustment of youth in ethnically diverse New York City middle schools. The present study sample consists
of Chinese American (n = 84) and African American (n = 119) sixth graders. Results suggest that Chinese American youths’ own positive affect toward their ethnic group (private
regard) was positively associated with higher self-esteem. In addition, the more favorably Chinese American youth perceived
that others view their group (public regard), the fewer depressive symptoms they reported. In addition, among Chinese American
youth, more favorable public regard attenuated the negative relationship between peer ethnic discrimination and depressive
symptoms. The implications of these findings are discussed in light of the commonalities among ethnic and racial minority
groups’ experiences of discrimination as well as the unique challenges that Chinese American youth face.

The neighborhood context can interfere with parents’ abilities to effectively monitor their children, but may be related to
specific monitoring strategies in different ways. The present study examines the importance of mothers’ perceptions of neighborhood
disorganization for the specific monitoring strategies they use and how each of these strategies are related to youths’ alcohol
use and delinquency. The sample consists of 415 mother–child dyads recruited from urban and suburban communities in Western
New York state. Youths were between 10 and 16 years of age (56% female), and were mostly Non-Hispanic White and African American
(45.3 and 36.5%, respectively). Structural equation modeling shows that mothers who perceive greater neighborhood problems
use more rule-setting strategies, but report lower levels of knowledge of their children’s whereabouts. Knowledge of whereabouts
is related to less youth alcohol use and delinquency through its association with lowered peer substance use, whereas rule-setting
is unrelated to these outcomes. Thus, mothers who perceive greater problems in their neighborhoods use less effective monitoring
strategies. Prevention programs could address parental monitoring needs based upon neighborhood differences, tailoring programs
for different neighborhoods. Further, parents could be apprised of the limitations of rule-setting, particularly in the absence
of monitoring their child’s whereabouts. 相似文献

Although multiracial individuals are the fastest growing population in the United States, research on the identity development of multiracial adolescents remains scant. This study explores the relationship between ethnic identity, its components (affirmation, exploration), and mental health outcomes (anxiety, depressive symptoms) within the contexts of schools for multiracial adolescents. The participants were multiracial and monoracial minority and majority high school students (n = 4,766; 54.6 % female). Among the participants, 88.1 % were Caucasian, 7.4 % were African American, and 4.5 % were multiracial. The research questions examined the relationship between ethnic identity exploration and affirmation on mental health outcomes and explored the role school context plays in this relationship. The findings suggested that multiracial youth experience more exploration and less affirmation than African Americans, but more than Caucasians. In addition, multiracial youth were found to have higher levels of mental health issues than their monoracial minority and majority peers. Specifically, multiracial youth had higher levels of depressive symptoms than their African American and Caucasian counterparts. Multiracial and Caucasian youth had similar levels of anxiety but these levels were significantly higher than African Americans. School diversity did not influence mental health outcomes for multiracial youth. These findings provide insight into the experiences of multiracial youth and underscore the importance of further investigating factors that contribute to their mental health outcomes. 相似文献

Having a connection to one’s ethnic heritage is considered a protective factor in the face of discrimination; however, it is unclear whether the protective effects are persistent across multiple stressors. Furthermore, the dimensions of ethnic identity that reflect group pride/connection (affirmation) and exploration of the meaning of group membership (achievement) may operate differently in the face of stress. The present study examined the moderating role of ethnic identity affirmation and achievement on concurrent and longitudinal relationships between exposure to stress (discrimination, family hardship, exposure to violence) and antisocial behavior in a sample of 256 Black and Latino male youth (70 % Black) living in low-income urban neighborhoods. Using regression analysis, concurrent associations were examined at age 18, and longitudinal associations were tested 18 months later. We found that, among youth experiencing discrimination, high levels of achievement and low levels of affirmation predicted greater aggressive behavior and delinquency. Low affirmation also predicted more criminal offending in the face of discrimination. The two dimensions operated similarly in the context of family stress, in which case high levels of affirmation and achievement predicted lower levels of antisocial behavior. The findings suggest a differential role of the two dimensions of ethnic identity with respect to discrimination; furthermore, the coping skills that may be promoted as youth make meaning of their ethnic group membership may serve as cultural assets in the face of family stress. 相似文献

Understanding adolescents’ use of ethnic labels is a key developmental issue, particularly given the practical significance
of identity and self-definition in adolescents’ lives. Ethnic labeling was examined among adolescents in the traditional immigrant
receiving area of Los Angeles (Asian n = 258, Latino n = 279) and the non-traditional immigrant receiving area of North Carolina (Asian n = 165, Latino n = 239). Logistic regressions showed that adolescents from different geographic settings use different ethnic labels, with
youth from NC preferring heritage and panethnic labels and youth from LA preferring hyphenated American labels. Second generation
youth were more likely than first generation youth to use hyphenated American labels, and less likely to use heritage or panethnic
labels. Greater ethnic centrality increased the odds of heritage label use, and greater English proficiency increased the
odds of heritage-American label use. These associations significantly mediated the initial effects of setting. Further results
examine ethnic differences as well as links between labels and self-esteem. The discussion highlights implications of ethnic
labeling and context. 相似文献

Self-reported ethnic labels were examined among 242 young American adults with Chinese ancestry (age range = 18–32 years,
M = 23.97; 73% female, 27% male). Ethnic labels fell under broad categories whereby 22% reported heritage national labels (e.g.,
Chinese), 35% added American to their heritage national label (e.g., Chinese American), and 42% reported panethnic-American
labels (e.g., Asian American). Logistic regressions revealed that generation and ethnic exploration significantly predicted
the odds of choosing heritage national and heritage national-American labels. Ethnic label choice was not associated with
average differences in the ethnic diversity of youths’ community or peer group, or with heritage language proficiency. However,
label choice was associated with generation, ethnic identity, and English proficiency. Ethnic labels also were linked to self-esteem
and positive relationships with Asian peers, with most optimal outcomes reported by youth who chose heritage national-American
labels.

Fear of abandonment has been found to be associated with mental health problems for youth who have experienced a parent’s
death. This article examines how youth’s fears of abandonment following the death of a parent lead to later depressive symptoms
by influencing relationships with caregivers, peers, and romantic partners. Participants were 109 youth ages 7–16 (50% male),
assessed 4 times over a 6-year period. The ethnic composition of the sample was non-Hispanic Caucasian (67%), Hispanic (16%),
African American (7%), Native American (3%), Asian (1%), and Other (6%). Youth’s fears of abandonment by their surviving caregiver
during the first year of data collection were related to their anxiety in romantic relationships 6 years later, which, in
turn, was associated with depressive symptoms measured at 6 years. Youth’s caregiver, peer, and romantic relationships at
the 6-year follow-up were related to their concurrent depressive symptoms. The relationship between youth’s attachment to
their surviving caregiver and their depressive symptoms was stronger for younger participants. Implications of these findings
for understanding the development of mental health problems following parental bereavement are discussed. 相似文献

Changes in adolescents’ ethnic identity (e.g., exploration, belonging) were examined over the 4 years of high school. Results
from 541 adolescents (51% female) with Latin American, Asian, and European backgrounds suggest that, as a group, adolescents
do not report developmental changes in their ethnic exploration and belonging over time. Yet, within-person analyses of change
reveal that individual adolescents exhibited substantial fluctuation in ethnic identity across the years, and this fluctuation
was associated with concurrent changes in family cohesion, proportion of same-ethnic peers, and ethnic centrality. The discussion
focuses on the value of examining intraindividual change over at least several years in order to more fully understand processes
of ethnic identity development during adolescence. 相似文献
