Fear of crime has attracted significant attention in academic research. One area that has largely been overlooked concerns fear of crime correlates among Hispanics, the largest ethnic minority group in the United States. Their unique cultural background as immigrants make them different from Non-Hispanic Whites and African Americans, and they all go through the acculturation process to some degree. However, the influence of acculturation has seldom been incorporated into the analysis. The current study attempts to use the acculturation thesis to examine two different types of fear among Hispanic residents in Houston, Texas. The findings suggest that acculturation is a significant predictor of crime-specific fear at home, but not of fear of crime in the neighborhood. 相似文献

Over the past two presidential elections, the major parties have been making a push at appealing to Latinos, airing over 3000 political advertisements in Spanish in the 2000 presidential election. In this paper, we ask whether the political ads used in the 2000 election had any effect on Latino turnout. We argue that the effectiveness of ads on the likelihood of turnout depends on how targeted the ad is to Latinos and the individual’s process of acculturation. We test our hypotheses using data from the Campaign Media Analysis Group, merged with data from the 2000 National Annenberg Election Survey. We find that the effectiveness of the ads on the likelihood of turnout was mediated by the individual’s dominant language, which is taken as a proxy for the process of acculturation.

This study draws on the social-discount and social-rejection hypotheses to examine the effect of perceived discrimination
on immigrant youths’ depressive moods, self-efficacy, and preferences for in-group socialization experiences. Data from a
panel study of immigrant young adolescents (aged 12–18) who came to Israel from countries of the former Soviet Union during
the preceding 6 years was used (n = 732). The average age of participants was 15.5 years; and 50% were boys. Partial support emerged for the social-rejection
hypothesis: perceived discrimination increases depressive moods and reduces self-esteem. Yet increased perceived discrimination
did not increase the preference for in-group socialization. Perceived discrimination seems to be detrimental to individuals’
psychological well-being but apparently does not hinder social integration.

冷漠作为现代人的一种稳定的具有特质性的状态,虽然在现代社会之前就已经出现,但当下冷漠在广度和深度两个维度上的蔓延,却与现代社会的变迁密切相关。出现在日常生活中的冷漠现象,是一种深层情感消解的状态。社会分工的精细化以及市场机制的不断发展,为冷漠的蔓延提供了结构背景。社会变迁的加速化,而适应文化没有跟上物质社会变迁的步伐,进一步导致了现代人的价值失落和自我丧失,反映在对外部世界的态度上就是冷漠。现代性不但使人与周围世界的联系越来越远,也造成了人与自我的疏离。重拾自我,保持情感的本真性,也许能为化解冷漠的心态找到出路。 相似文献

Abstract First, the importance of understanding what the key differences are between individuals in any ethnic population is highlighted. Next, the concept of assimilation is introduced as a construct by which these differences may be accounted for. Following this, the literature on the measurement of differences within ethnic markets is surveyed and classified in light of the assimilation construct and a set of conclusions based on this survey are drawn up. Finally, based on these conclusions, a set of recommendations is developed to guide researchers in the future who might wish to rigorously measure the major differences within any ethnic population group. 相似文献

Studies indicate that African American, Asian/Pacific Islander, and Latino youth have higher rates of unmet mental health
needs and lower rates of mental health service utilization compared to non-Hispanic White youth, suggesting that obstacles
may exist in the help-seeking and service utilization pathway for minority youth. Parental cultural factors may significantly
impact youth service use, and acculturation is one way to measure adherence to culture specific values, beliefs, attitudes,
and behaviors. In this study, parental acculturation level, conceptualized as cultural affinity to 1) mainstream American
culture and 2) an alternative culture, were examined as potential mediators of the relationship between race/ethnicity and
youth service use. The current subsample (n=1364) was drawn from the Patterns of Care study, a larger study of at-risk youth who were active to at least one of five
public sectors of care. Our subsample included all youth aged 6–17 who were African American, Asian/Pacific Islander, Latino,
or Non-Hispanic Whites (66.6% male). The results indicate that parental acculturation level as measured by affinity to an
Alternative Culture was a partial mediator in the relationship between race/ethnicity and mental health service use for Asian/Pacific
Islander and Latino youth.

Though official data document that Hispanic youth are at a great risk for early sexual intercourse, STDs, and teen pregnancy,
only few etiological studies have been conducted on Hispanic youth; almost no work has examined potential generational differences
in these behaviors, and thus, these behaviors may have been mistakenly attributed to cultural differences. The current study
examined the relationships between maternal parenting (general communication, communication about sex, monitoring, support)
and risky sexual behaviors, and potential moderating effects by immigration status and acculturation in 1st and 2nd generation
Hispanic immigrant adolescents (N = 2,016) from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Waves I and II). Maternal communication about sex and
maternal support emerged as key predictors of risky sexual behaviors across generational groups; neither immigration status
nor acculturation moderated the maternal parenting constructs-risky sexual behaviors links. Furthermore, maternal parenting
constructs and their relationships with risky sexual behaviors did not differ by generational groups.

This study examined the role that Mexican ethnicity, acculturation into Anglo American society, and social integration play
in intimate partner violence among a sample of 348 college students. The results indicated that Mexican American ethnicity
and acculturation into Anglo American society by Mexican American college students had no relation to intimate partner violence.
However, integration into society was associated with a decreased probability of severely assaulting a partner among both
Mexican Americans and Non-Mexican Whites. The results support a control theory perspective (social integration) on intimate
partner violence. 相似文献

Acculturation has been associated with numerous health and social outcomes among Hispanic/Latino adolescents. Various self-report
scales have been used to measure acculturation, making comparisons of results across studies difficult. This study administered
several commonly-used acculturation scales to 221 Hispanic/Latino 9th grade students in Los Angeles. Although all of these
scales purport to measure acculturation, the correlations among the scales, and their correlations with language usage measures,
were modest. As expected, higher scores on Hispanic/Latino orientation scales (or lower scores on U.S./White orientation scales)
were associated with higher levels of ethnic identity formation. Results indicate that these acculturation scales may measure
different aspects of the complex phenomenon of acculturation. For example, purely language-based measures shared only small
amounts of variance with more comprehensive measures. Additional research is needed to create and validate acculturation measures
for adolescents.
