Within an ethnically diverse sample of young adults (n = 223, 26% Latin American, 14% Asian American, 32% Filipino American, 28% European American), average levels of ethnic identity
was found to vary significantly across different relational contexts. Regardless of ethnicity, young adults reported highest
levels of ethnic exploration and ethnic belonging with parents, followed by same-ethnic peers, then different-ethnic peers.
Significantly greater variation between relational contexts generally was found for ethnic exploration compared to ethnic
belonging. Greater variation in ethnic identity, particularly between same-ethnic and different-ethnic contexts was associated
with lower self-esteem, positive affect, relational competence, and higher negative affect, though these liabilities were
only found for European American youth. The discussion emphasizes the importance of examining ethnic identity as a dynamic
construct that can vary as a function of relationships, and proposes directions for future research.

A longitudinal daily diary method was employed to examine the implications of family assistance for the academic achievement
of 563 adolescents (53% female) from Mexican (n = 217), Chinese (n = 206), and European (n = 140) backgrounds during the high school years (mean age 14.9 years in 9th grade to 17.8 years in 12th grade). Although
changes in family assistance time within individual adolescents were not associated with simultaneous changes in their Grade
Point Averages (GPAs), increases in the proportion of days spent helping the family were linked to declines in the GPAs of
students from Mexican and Chinese backgrounds. The negative implications of spending more days helping the family among these
two groups was not explained by family background factors or changes in study time or school problems. These results suggest
that the chronicity rather than the amount of family assistance may be difficult for adolescents from Mexican and Chinese
backgrounds.

This study investigated a multi-mediation model of the relationship between bullying behavior, peer victimization, personal
identity, and family characteristics to adolescent depressive symptoms in 194 high school students, 12–18 years of age. In
the first model, peer victimization mediated the relation between bullying behavior and depressive symptoms. In the second
model, personal identity mediated the relation between peer victimization and depressive symptoms. In the final model, the
two mediation models were combined. The relative influence of family characteristics on all variables in the two mediation
models was studied using structural equation modeling. The results supported both mediation models and confirmed the influence
of family characteristics on all variables in the mediation models. This study indicates that victimization by one’s peers
has consequences for adolescents’ psychological health when their personal identity is affected. In addition, the study was
able to model several processes in which family characteristics were related to adolescent depressive symptoms. Moreover,
the final combined model (in which the two mediation models and the influence of family characteristics on all variables were
confirmed) explained half of the variance in adolescent depressive symptoms.

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.

A number of models have been proposed to explain the relationship between family structure and adolescent problem behaviors, including several that consider parent-child relations, family income, stress, and residential mobility. However, studies have not explored whether the different types of communities within which families reside affect the association between family structure and problem behaviors. A community context model also suggests that the relationship between family structure and problem behaviors may be conditioned by community characteristics. The results of a multilevel regression model that used data from the National Educational Longitudinal Study (NELS; n = 10,286) indicated that adolescents from homes with a recently divorced mother, a mother and stepfather, a single mother, or a single father reported more problem behaviors regardless of the community context. Moreover, adolescents living in communities with a high proportion of impoverished residents, female headed households, or jobless males reported more problem behaviors irrespective of family structure.

The role of prejudice and ethnic awareness in the civic commitments and beliefs about the American social contract of 1,096
(53% female) adolescents (11–18 year olds, Mean = 15) from African-, Arab-, Latino-, and European-American backgrounds were
compared. Ethnic awareness was higher among minority youth and discrimination more often reported by African- and Arab-Americans.
Parental admonitions against discrimination were heard by all but African Americans, Latinos and those who reported prejudice
heard that it could pose a barrier. Adolescents’ beliefs that America is an equal opportunity society were negatively associated
with experiences of discrimination and African-Americans were least likely to believe that the government was responsive to
the average person. With respect to civic goals, all youth endorsed patriotism but ethnic minorities and ethnically aware
youth were more committed to advocating for their ethnic group and European-Americans were less committed than were African
Americans to improving race relations.

Self-esteem and depression are fundamental psychological adjustment constructs in the study of adolescent well-being. Most
measures of these constructs have been developed and validated using European American samples, and while the correlates and
predictors of psychological adjustment have been examined in multiple cultural settings, no existing research explicitly compares
the equivalence of measures of self-esteem or depression for contemporary Chinese, Filipino and European American adolescents.
Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (the Add Health study), this study examines the factorial
invariance of self-esteem and depression measures for European American adolescents and the two largest Asian American ethnic
groups in the U.S.: Chinese and Filipino Americans. Results indicate strong evidence for invariance of the measure of self-esteem;
however, the often-used measure of depression (CES-D) does not satisfy basic tests of measurement invariance for Asian Americans
in this sample.

Changes in the family structure can be very disruptive to adolescents who live in those families. This article examines the
impact of the number of family transitions on delinquent and drug-using behavior. Specifically, the effect of family transitions
is hypothesized to be mediated by problems within the family, school, and peer settings. A sample of 646 boys (73%) and girls
(27%) taken from a longitudinal panel study of high-risk adolescents are used to examine these hypotheses. For girls, little
support is found for the direct or the indirect effect of family transitions on delinquent behavior or drug use. For boys,
however, both forms of problem behavior are influenced by family transitions directly and indirectly through changes in, and
problems with, peer associations. The findings suggest that during times of family turmoil, the friendship network of adolescent
male children is also disrupted, leading to an increase in associations with delinquent others and, in turn, an increase in
problematic behaviors.

The current cross-sectional study investigated the links between various dimensions of organized activity involvement and
depressive symptoms, loneliness, and peer victimization in an ethnically and economically diverse sample of adolescents (N = 152; 58% female). Results indicate that adolescents who were involved in organized activities for more years also reported
lower levels of loneliness. There was evidence of diminishing returns when adolescents were very highly involved in organized
activities; those who were either under- or over-involved reported the highest levels of depressive symptoms. Conversely,
findings indicate that adolescents who participated in a narrow or wide range of activity contexts reported the lowest levels
of depressive symptoms. In addition, results suggested that the relation between organized activity involvement and adjustment
differs among adolescents from diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. Findings from the current study also underscore
the importance of considering multiple indices of activity involvement when assessing its association with adjustment.

Number of lifetime episodes, duration of current episode, and severity of maternal depression were investigated in relation
to family functioning and child adjustment. Participants were the 151 mother–child pairs in the Sequenced Treatment Alternatives
to Relieve Depression (STAR*D) child multi-site study. Mothers were diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder; children (80
males and 71 females) ranged in age from 7 to 17 years. Measures of child adjustment included psychiatric diagnoses, internalizing
and externalizing symptoms, and functional impairment. Measures of family functioning included family cohesion, expressiveness,
conflict, organization, and household control; parenting measures assessed maternal acceptance and psychological control.
Children of mothers with longer current depressive episodes were more likely to have internalizing and externalizing symptoms,
with this association being moderated by child gender. Mothers with more lifetime depressive episodes were less likely to
use appropriate control in their homes.

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.

Structural equation modeling was used to test [Sandler, American Journal of Community Psychology 29: 19–61.] a theoretical model of risk and resilience in an urban sample of African American and European American adolescents. The aims of the present study were to examine whether self-system processes (i.e., competence, self-esteem, and coping efficacy) mediated the relations between ecological risk and depressive symptoms and to determine if pathways varied across ethnic/racial groups. Results implicate self-esteem as a putative mediator of the impact of ecological risk on depressive symptoms for both African American and European American youth. In addition, coping efficacy was a mediator of the link between ecological risk and depressive symptoms for African American youth, but not for European American youth. The evidence supporting competence as a significant mediator of the relation between ecological risk and depressive symptoms was less compelling. Findings suggest substantial similarities in the pathways between ecological risk and depressive symptoms across African American and European American youth.

The current study, using data from 374 African American students (59.4% female) in grades 7–12 attending a rural, southern
county public school, addressed associations of self-efficacy, ethnic identity and parental support with “future education
orientation.” Both gender and current level of achievement distinguished adolescents with differing levels of future education
orientation. The strongest predictors of future education orientation were self-efficacy, ethnic identity and maternal support.
Gender did not moderate these associations. Implications for future research include the need to conduct longitudinal studies
and research that integrates quantitative and qualitative methods to elucidate further the nature and importance of future
education orientation for African American youth. Also needed are policies and programs that facilitate school bonding and
academic performance, as are efforts that focus specifically on enhancing the future education orientation and academic success
of African American male adolescents.

Adolescent Children of Adolescent Mothers: The Impact of Family Functioning on Trajectories of Development 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
V. Susan Dahinten Jennifer D. Shapka J. Douglas Willms 《Journal of youth and adolescence》2007,36(2):195-212
This study drew on four cycles of longitudinal data from the Canadian National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth to
examine the academic and behavioural trajectories of youth between 10 and 15 years of age as a function of maternal age at
childbearing. The analyses controlled for several family characteristics and examined the mediating effects of three family
functioning variables (maternal depression, and nurturing and rejecting parenting behaviours). Maternal age was related to
academic competency in math (standardized Math scores), externalizing disorders (Property Offences, Hyperactivity-Inattention),
and internalizing disorders (Anxiety-Emotional Disorder). After accounting for family characteristics, the children of the
young and older teen mothers retained their disadvantage in Math scores and Property Offences, respectively, whereas the children
of older mothers lost the advantages that they had exhibited at age 10 (for Property Offences, the benefits were mediated
through family functioning). These results have implications for future research and for the development of policy and programming
targeting the healthy development of 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
Desirée Baolian Qin 《Journal of youth and adolescence》2008,37(1):22-35
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.

Development and Validation of the Adolescent Racial and Ethnic Socialization Scale (ARESS) in African American Families 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Racial and ethnic socialization are an integral part of African American parenting strategies. Varied conceptualizations and
operationalizations of racial and ethnic socialization exist within the literature with limited evidence of the validity of
existing measures. The purpose of this study is to develop a comprehensive definition of racial and ethnic socialization and
to validate a new measure termed the Adolescent Racial and Ethnic Socialization Scale (ARESS). Using Confirmatory Factor Analysis
(CFA), findings from 218 African American adolescents (grades 9–12) support the multidimensional nature of racial and ethnic
socialization. Results also indicate that racial and ethnic socialization are distinct constructs reflecting the utility of
this instrument for African American youth.

Adolescents spend only a fraction of their waking hours in school and what they do with the rest of their time varies dramatically.
Despite this, research on out-of-school time has largely focused on structured programming. The authors analyzed data from
the Educational Longitudinal Study of 2002 (ELS:2002) to examine the out-of-school time activity portfolios of 6,338 high
school sophomores, accounting for time spent in school clubs and sports as well as 17 other activities. The analytical sample
was balanced with respect to sex and racially and ethnically diverse: 49% female, 67% White, 10% Latino, 10% African American,
and 6% Asian and Pacific Islander. Approximately 76% of the sample attended public schools, 30% were in the highest socioeconomic
quartile, and 20% were in the lowest socioeconomic quartile. The authors identified five distinct out-of-school time activity
portfolios based on a cluster analysis. The demographic profiles of students by portfolio type differed significantly with
respect to sex, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, school type and location. Students by portfolio type also differed significantly
in terms of measures of academic success, school behavior, victimization and perceptions of school climate, controlling for
covariates. These findings underscore the importance of more complex considerations of adolescents’ out-of-school time.

Focusing on identity development explorations enables a greater understanding of contexts that affect immigrant adolescents.
Utilizing thematic and grounded narrative analysis of 46 journal writings, during a one-month period, from first and second
generation Vietnamese adolescents ranging in age from 15 to 18 (26 residents of a culturally and politically active ethnic
enclave in Southern California; 20 adolescents living outside the enclave), this study establishes ways in which a focus on
social context and exploration processes illuminates the complexity of immigrant adolescents’ identity formation. The two
groups shared many similarities, including precipitants to exploration and steps undertaken to explore identity. However,
two factors—social and cultural influences and emotional reactions—revealed interesting contrasts distinguishing enclave from
non-enclave dwelling Vietnamese adolescents. Data also suggested that immigrant adolescents strive to integrate different
domains of identity (ethnicity, gender, career) both with one another and with the historical, social, and cultural contexts
they occupy.

Academic Achievement and Problem Behaviors among Asian Pacific Islander American Adolescents 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
Yoonsun Choi 《Journal of youth and adolescence》2007,36(4):403-415
Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, this study tests whether the relationship between academic
achievement and problem behaviors is the same across racial and ethnic groups. Some have suggested that academic achievement
may be a weaker predictor of problem behaviors among Asian Pacific Islander American (API) youth; that they can have high
grades but still exhibit problem behaviors. This study finds that academic performance is a significant predictor of aggressive
and nonaggressive delinquent offenses, gang initiation, sexual behaviors, and substance use, and that the relationship generally
does not vary by race and ethnicity. Thus, there is little evidence that API youth are high achievers who are also engaging
significantly in problem behaviors. The existing perceptions of API youth may be largely based on stereotype and ambivalence.

This study uses two waves of data to examine the relationships among patterns of racial socialization experiences and racial
identity in a sample of 358 African American adolescents (60% female and 40% male). Using latent class analyses, we identified
three patterns of adolescent-reported racial socialization experiences: High Positive, Moderate Positive, and Low Frequency.
Adolescent-reported racial socialization experiences at Wave 1 were associated with Wave 2 adolescent racial identity approximately
one year later. Specifically, High Positive and Low Frequency racial socialization were associated with racial centrality,
assimilationist ideology, and nationalist ideology. These findings suggest that various patterns of racial socialization practices
play an important role in the developing significance and meaning that African American adolescents ascribe to race.
