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.

Existing research rarely considers important ethnic subgroup variations in violent behaviors among Latino youth. Thus, their
risk for severe violent behaviors is not well understood in light of the immense ethnic and generational diversity of the
Latino population in the United States. Grounded in social control theory and cultural analyses of familism, we examine differences in the risk for severe youth violence, as well its associations with family cohesion, parental engagement,
adolescent autonomy, household composition, and immigrant generation among Mexican (n = 1,594), Puerto Rican (n = 586), Cuban
(n = 488), and non-Latino Black (n = 4,053), and White (n = 9,921) adolescents with data from the National Longitudinal Study
of Adolescent Health. Results indicate a gradient of risk; White youth had the lowest risk for severe violence and Puerto
Rican youth had the highest risk compared to all other racial/ethnic subgroups. Within-group analysis indicates that family
factors are not universally protective or risk-inducing. While family cohesion decreased the risk of severe violence among
all groups, parental engagement was associated with increased risk among Blacks and Whites, and adolescent autonomy was associated
with increased risk among Puerto Ricans and Cubans. In addition, Cuban and White adolescents who lived in single parent households
or who did not live with their parents, had higher risk for severe violent behaviors than their counterparts who lived in
two parent households. Among Latinos, the association of immigrant generation was in opposite directions among Mexicans and
Cubans. We conclude that family and immigration factors differentially influence risk for violence among Latino subgroups
and highlight the significance of examining subgroup differences and developing intervention strategies that are tailored
to the needs of each ethnic subgroup. 相似文献

Participation in extracurricular activities is purported to protect the broad spectrum of youth from a host of behavioral
risks. Yet, empirical research on the extent to which this assumption holds for involvement in violence by immigrant youth
is limited. Thus, using data for 13,236 (51.8% female) adolescents from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health,
this study explores how the relationship between extracurricular activities and youth violence varies by type of extracurricular
activity profile (sports alone, non-sports alone, and a combination of sports and non-sports) and by generations of immigration
(first, second, and third-plus). The sample is composed of 9.3% (n = 1,233) first-generation youth, 15.7% (n = 2,080) second generation, and 74.9% (n = 9,923) third-plus generation. The results reveal that adolescents from the third-plus generation (i.e., non-immigrant youth)
who participate in non-sports alone or sports plus non-sports have lower odds of involvement in violence than adolescents
from the same generation who do not participate in extracurricular activities. However, for first- and second-generation adolescents,
participation in extracurricular activities is associated with higher rather than lower odds of violence compared to their
non-participating counterparts. These findings challenge the viewpoint that participation in mainstream extracurricular activities
as afforded by US schools is equally beneficial for all youth. They also call for additional research that explores why immigrant
youth are less likely than non-immigrant youth to gain violence-reducing benefits when they participate in extracurricular
activities. 相似文献

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.

Cultural factors are often neglected in studies of suicidal behavior among emerging adults. The present study examined acculturative
stress and perceived discrimination as statistical predictors of a suicide attempt history among an ethnically diverse sample
of 969 emerging adults, ages 18–25 (M = 18.8). Females made up 68% of the sample, and the racial/ethnic composition included Asian, Latino, Black, and White (US-born
and non-US-born) individuals. There were no statistically significant racial/ethnic differences in endorsement of a suicide
attempt history, with an overall rate of 8% in the sample. Asian participants reported higher acculturative stress than all
other racial/ethnic groups, while both Asian and Black participants reported having experienced more discrimination in the
previous year, compared to other groups. Logistic regression analyses suggested that familial acculturative stress was associated
with 2 times higher odds of endorsing a past suicide attempt, overall. More specifically, it was associated with over 2 times
higher odds among Asian participants, over 4 times higher odds among Black participants, and over 3 times higher odds among
non-US-born White participants, while social acculturative stress was associated with over 3 times higher odds of endorsing
a past suicide attempt among Latino participants. Environmental acculturative stress was associated with decreased odds of
endorsing a suicide attempt history, overall, but not when examined separately by racial/ethnic group. Perceived discrimination
was associated with over 5 times higher odds of a suicide attempt, overall, and specifically was associated with over 3 times
higher odds among Latino participants and over 10 times higher odds among White, US-born participants. These findings suggest
the importance of addressing culturally-related variables in treatment with emerging adults of racially/ethnically diverse
backgrounds to reduce risk for suicidal behavior. 相似文献

This study examined the role of adolescents’ and mothers’ self-reports of English and heritage language proficiency in youth’s
academic and emotional adjustment among 444 Chinese American families. Adolescents who were proficient in English tended to
exhibit higher reading achievement scores, math achievement scores, and overall GPA. Mothers who were English proficient tended
to have children with higher academic achievement and fewer depressive symptoms. Results also indicated that adolescents’
heritage language maintenance was associated with positive adjustment, particularly amongst foreign-born youth and for youth
whose parents were highly proficient in the heritage language. Mother-adolescent match in heritage language proficiency was
related to higher math achievement scores and overall GPA. Additionally, higher heritage language proficiency was associated
with fewer depressive symptoms for foreign-born but not U.S.-born youth. Overall, the findings suggest that proficiency in
both the English and heritage language may confer advantages to Chinese American youth.

Doing Well vs. Feeling Well: Understanding Family Dynamics and the Psychological Adjustment of Chinese Immigrant Adolescents 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

Despite their average high levels of educational achievement, Asian American students often report poor psychological and
social adjustment, suggesting an achievement/adjustment paradox. Yet, the reasons for this paradox remain unclear. Drawing
on 5-year longitudinal qualitative interview data, this paper compares the family dynamics of two groups of adolescents from
Chinese immigrant families: non-distressed adolescents (n = 20) who have high levels of academic achievement and high levels of psychological well-being; and distressed adolescents (n = 18) who have high levels of academic achievement but low levels of psychological well-being. Findings suggest that the
two groups of families differed in parenting approaches after migration, parent–child communication, parental expectations,
and parent–child relations. Implications for Asian American adolescent and youth development are discussed.

Previous research has consistently documented the importance of VIPs (mentors or important non-parental adults) in the lives
of adolescents. Little is known, however, about whether VIPs play the same important roles across ethnic groups and whether
VIPs remain influential when adolescents are older and involved in romantic relationships. The present study compared VIPs
of 355 Hispanic, Asian, and European American older adolescents (age range = 17–19 years; M = 18.7 years; 62% female). Results indicated that, despite ethnic differences in their social capital, VIPs’ psychological
characteristics (e.g., warmth and acceptance, depressive symptoms, and problem behavior) were similar. VIPs were perceived
to have more positive psychological profiles than parents and peers, and in some cases, romantic partners. Moreover, with
a few exceptions, the associations between VIP characteristics and adolescent adjustment (e.g., self-esteem, depressive symptoms,
and problem behavior) were largely similar across ethnic groups. Finally, VIPs made unique contributions to adolescents’ self-esteem
and problem behaviors even after the effects of romantic partners were considered. Implications of the findings are discussed. 相似文献

While many adolescents and young adults experiment with substances (e.g., alcohol, cigarette smoking, marijuana), recent research
suggests that rural youth and young adults may be more at risk for substance use than their urban counterparts. This study
was designed to examine the longitudinal relationships between rural adolescents’ prosocial behaviors and substance use in
young adulthood. Furthermore, we examined the potential mediating effects of adolescent substance use, academic investment,
and delinquency. Rural youth (N = 531; 263 girls) were surveyed in grades 10–12 (Time 1; M age = 16.17; SD = .91) and again in early adulthood (Time 2). Measures of prosocial behaviors, substance use, academic investment,
and deviant activities were assessed at Time 1. At Time 2, measures of marijuana use, cigarette smoking, and getting drunk
were administered. Overall, the findings showed that rural adolescents who frequently exhibit prosocial behaviors are less
likely to engage in substance use in young adulthood than those who exhibit relatively low levels of prosocial behaviors.
These findings indicate that prosocial behaviors may have positive health consequences, establishing behavioral trajectories
that lead to lower levels of risky health behaviors in adulthood in rural populations. 相似文献

There is a dearth of published research on the role of intergroup contact on urban US ethnic minority children’s and adolescents’
evaluations of racial exclusion. The current investigation examined these issues in a sample of low-income minority 4th, 7th,
and 10th grade (N = 129, 60% female) African American and Latino/a students attending predominately racial and ethnic minority US urban public
schools. Using individual interviews, participants were presented with scenarios depicting three contexts of interracial peer
exclusion (lunch at school, a sleepover party, and a school dance). Novel findings were that intergroup contact was significantly
related to low-income urban ethnic minority youth’s evaluations of the wrongfulness of race-based exclusion and their awareness
of the use of stereotypes to justify racial exclusion. Further, significant interactions involving intergroup contact, context,
age, and gender were also found. Findings illustrated the importance of intergroup contact for ethnic minority students and
the complexity of ethnic minority children’s and adolescents’ judgments and decision-making about interracial peer exclusion. 相似文献

How Do I Feel About Feelings? Emotion Socialization in Families of Depressed and Healthy Adolescents
Erin C. Hunter Lynn Fainsilber Katz Joann Wu Shortt Betsy Davis Craig Leve Nicholas B. Allen Lisa B. Sheeber 《Journal of youth and adolescence》2011,40(4):428-441
Emotional and cognitive changes that occur during adolescence set the stage for the development of adaptive or maladaptive
beliefs about emotions. Although research suggests that parents’ behaviors and beliefs about emotions relate to children’s
emotional abilities, few studies have looked at parental socialization of children’s emotions, particularly in families with
depressed adolescents. The present study examined associations between parent and adolescent meta-emotion philosophies (MEP),
defined as thoughts, reactions, and feelings about their own emotions. Additionally, adolescent depressive status was tested
as a moderator of relationships between parents’ and adolescents’ MEP. One hundred and 52 adolescents, aged 14–18 (65.8% female),
and their parents (148 mothers, 106 fathers) participated in a study on emotion socialization in families of depressed and
healthy adolescents. Depressed adolescents (n = 75) and matched healthy adolescents (n = 77) were recruited based on research criteria for mental health status. The sample was largely Caucasian (82%) and of middle
socioeconomic class status. Results indicated that mothers’ and fathers’ MEP about their children’s emotions were associated
with adolescents’ MEP, although parents’ MEP about their own emotions was unrelated to adolescents’ MEP. Fathers’ MEP about
children’s emotions made unique contributions to adolescents’ MEP across both adolescent groups. Adolescents’ depressive status
moderated the relationship between mothers’ and adolescents’ MEP such that mothers’ MEP was particularly relevant for depressed
adolescents. The continued influence of parents in the emotional lives of adolescents is discussed as well as differences
in emotion socialization in families with depressed and healthy adolescents. 相似文献

The psychological well-being and ethnic identity of biracial adolescents are largely underrepresented topics in current scholarly literature, despite the growing population of biracial and multiracial individuals in the United States. This study examined self-esteem, ethnic identity, and the relationship between these constructs among biracial and monoracial adolescents (n = 3282). Using analysis of covariance, significant differences emerged between biracial and monoracial adolescents on both a measure of self-esteem and a measure of ethnic identity. Specifically, biracial adolescents showed significantly higher levels of self-esteem than their Asian counterparts, but significantly lower self-esteem than Black adolescents. Furthermore, biracial adolescents scored significantly higher than Whites on a measure of ethnic identity, but scored lower than their Black, Asian, and Latino peers on the same measure. Finally, correlational analyses revealed a significant and positive relationship between ethnic identity and self-esteem for all groups. 相似文献

While few studies have identified predictors of exiting homelessness among adults, even fewer studies have attempted to identify
these predictors among homeless youth. The current study explored predictors of change in homelessness among 180 homeless
youth between the ages of 14 and 22, recruited through an urban drop-in center. All youth were assessed at baseline, 3 and
6 months. The sample included 118 males and the reported ethnicity included Latino (n = 54), Anglo (n = 73), Native American (n = 24), African American (n = 6) and mixed ethnicity or “other” (n = 23). Four distinct patterns of change in homelessness were identified among youth which included those who (1) had fairly
low rates of homelessness at each follow-up point, (2) started in the mid-range of homelessness, increased at 3 months and
sharply declined at 6-months (MHL), (3) reported high rates of homelessness at baseline and low rates at each follow-up point
(HLL), and finally, (4) remained consistently homeless across time (HMH). These patterns of change were most strongly predicted
by social connections and engagement in HIV risk behaviors. The findings from this study suggest that developing trust and
linkages between homeless youth and service providers may be a more powerful immediate target of intervention than targeting
child abuse issues, substance use and mental health problems.

Cellular phones provide a means for parents to monitor and request information about whereabouts, associates, and current
activities from adolescents. Simultaneously, adolescents can communicate with parents to inform them of activities and to
solicit support or they can also choose to nondisclose. The frequency, duration, and nature of calls may relate to parents’
and to adolescents’ perceptions of truthfulness and family relationships. 196 dyads (13% father–son, 11% father–daughter,
30% mother–son, and 46% mother–daughter) completed a questionnaire indicating cell phone use, their truthfulness of activities,
the nature of their calls to one another, and family relationships. The parents were, on average, 45.38 years old (SD = 6.35)
and were 83% Euroamerican, 9% Asian American, 3% Latino, 3% African American, 2% Mixed ethnicity, and 1% American Indian.
The adolescents were, on average, 16.25 years old (SD = 1.17) and were 77% Euroamerican, 9% Asian American, 4% Latino, 3%
African American, 8% Mixed ethnicity, and .5% American Indian. Correlational analyses revealed that parents who called more
frequently reported less truthfulness when speaking to their adolescents via cell phone. Greater frequency in parental calls
also was associated with less adolescent-reported truthfulness. From multiple regression analyses, for parents, calls when
upset were associated with less parental knowledge and poorer family relations. For adolescents, the same was true; however,
adolescents who made calls seeking social support and to ask and confer with parents reported greater perceived parental knowledge
and better family relationships.

This exploratory study examined whether associations between perceived school experiences and achievement motivation varied by language acculturation and generational status among a sample of immigrant and U.S. born Latino adolescents (n = 129). Ogbu's (1993) notion of primary and secondary cultural differences was adapted to better suit comparisons within this Latino group using the terms cultural attributes and cultural adaptations. Academic competence, school belonging, and parent involvement were positively related to achievement motivation. Academic competence and parent involvement were strongly related to achievement motivation among students who spoke English or were born in the U.S., suggesting that these associations may be cultural adaptations. Future intervention programs for Latino students, regardless of acculturation or generational status, should focus on making them feel supported and included. Acculturated Latino youth and youth who have lived in the U.S. for a long time should be targeted for programs that enhance academic competence and parent involvement. 相似文献

The purpose of the present study was to examine relations between adolescents’ social cognitions regarding parenting practices
and adolescents’ prosocial behavioral tendencies. A mediation model was tested whereby the degree to which adolescents perceived
their parents as responding appropriately to their prosocial and antisocial behaviors was hypothesized to predict adolescents’
tendencies toward prosocial behavior indirectly by way of adolescents’ prosocial values. Adolescents (N = 140; M age = 16.76 years, SD = .80; 64% girls; 91% European Americans) completed measures of prosocial values and of the appropriateness
with which they expected their parents to react to their prosocial and antisocial behaviors. In addition, teachers and parents
rated the adolescents’ tendencies for prosocial behaviors. A structural equation model test showed that the degree to which
adolescents expected their parents to respond appropriately to their prosocial behaviors was related positively to their prosocial
values, which in turn was positively associated with their tendencies to engage in prosocial behaviors (as reported by parents
and teachers). The findings provide evidence for the central role of adolescents’ evaluations and expectancies of parental
behaviors and of the role of values in predicting prosocial tendencies. Discussion focuses on the implications for moral socialization
theories and on the practical implications of these findings in understanding adolescents’ prosocial development. 相似文献

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

Cultural responsiveness is a key aspect of the quality of organized activities, yet has rarely been examined. Based on developmental theories and a theoretical framework for culturally responsive activities, the current study investigated the prevalence and correlates of two ethnic cultural features (i.e., ethnic cultural content & ethnic cultural respect) in organized activities. Using data from 154 Latino adolescents (Mage?=?12.36, SD?=?.53; 59% Female) and parents, we examined associations between adolescent perceptions of both ethnic cultural features and their activity experiences; and associations between parent perceptions of both ethnic cultural features and parental involvement in the activity. Latino adolescents and parents in general perceived lower than average ethnic cultural content and moderate to high ethnic cultural respect in the reported activity. Both adolescents and parents were more likely to perceive ethnic cultural content and respect in activities where Latino youth were the numerical ethnic majority than in activities where Latino youth were the numerical ethnic minority. Latino adolescents’ perceptions of ethnic cultural respect were associated with more positive activity experiences, whereas their perceptions of ethnic cultural content were associated with more negative feelings. Latino parents’ perceptions of ethnic cultural content predicted higher involvement. To design culturally responsive activities, ethnic cultural features should be incorporated in a thoughtful, meaningful way that reflects both adolescents’ and parents’ perspectives. 相似文献

This mixed-methods exploratory study examined the diverse content and situated context of White adolescents’ racial-ethnic
identities. The sample consisted of 781 9th–12th grade White adolescents from three New England schools, which varied in racial
and economic make-up. Open-ended responses provided a range of thematic categories regarding the importance of race-ethnicity
to the adolescents’ identities, representing the diverse ideologies of White adolescents’ explanations, ranging from colorblind
claims to ethnic pride. This study also found significant relationships between racial-ethnic identity importance (centrality)
and parents’ education for White adolescents. These findings highlight the diversity of White adolescents’ understanding of
their racial-ethnic identities and the importance of context in shaping racial-ethnic centrality.

Although there has been an increasing number of studies that has examined depression among adolescents from immigrant backgrounds,
findings have been mixed, with some studies reporting that immigrant status is associated with risk, while others report that
immigration status is linked to adequate or positive outcomes. Thus, it is important to explore how underlying predictors
contribute to trajectories of depressive symptoms among adolescents from immigrant backgrounds. Using data from a nationally
representative Canadian sample (N = 1,060; aged 12 to 23; 48.9% female), this longitudinal study examined the effects of risk and protective factors on trajectories
of depressive symptoms using multilevel modeling. Predictors of depressive symptoms tended to be protective and suggest a
universal positive influence of self-esteem, positive peer relationships, and parent–child cohesion. Host language proficiency
was predictive of greater increases in depressive symptoms over time. Findings highlight the value of promoting protective
factors and aspects of one’s heritage among immigrant adolescents. 相似文献
