Abstract

The present study was designed to examine the direct and indirect relations between acculturative stress and Latinx youth prosocial tendencies. In addition, we considered family conflict, parental support, and parental psychological control as explanatory mechanisms. Participants included 306 (53.8% female, Mage = 15.50, SD = .42; range = 14 to 18) Latinx adolescents and their parents (87.9% mothers). The majority of adolescents were born in the U.S. (n = 206, 68.0%; average time in U.S. = 10 years) and identified as a Mexican heritage group member (n = 248, 81.0%). Findings differed by youth gender and suggest that for boys, parental support (but not psychological control) serves as underlying mechanism in the effects of acculturative stress and family conflict on youth's prosocial behaviors. Contrastingly, for girls, parental support (but not psychological control) serves as underlying mechanism in the negative effects of family conflict (but not acculturative stress) on youth's prosocial behaviors. The findings are discussed in the context of the need for integrative theories that account for cultural, family and gender-related socialization mechanisms to better understand prosocial behaviors among Latinx youth.

拉美裔青少年的文化压力、家庭过程和亲社会行为之间的性别特异性关系模式》（Gender-Specific Patterns of Relations between Acculturative Stress, Family Processes, and Prosocial Behaviors in Latinx Youth）。

本研究旨在探讨文化适应压力与拉丁裔青少年亲社会倾向之间的直接和间接关系。此外，我们还将家庭冲突、父母支持和父母心理控制作为解释机制。参与者包括 306 名拉美裔青少年（53.8% 为女性，Mage = 15.50，SD = .42；范围 = 14 至 18）及其父母（87.9% 为母亲）。大多数青少年出生在美国（n = 206，68.0%；平均在美时间 = 10 年），并被认定为墨西哥裔群体成员（n = 248，81.0%）。研究结果因青少年的性别而异，并表明对男孩而言，父母的支持（而非心理控制）是文化适应压力和家庭冲突对青少年亲社会行为产生影响的潜在机制。相反，对于女孩来说，父母的支持（而非心理控制）是家庭冲突（而非文化适应压力）对青少年亲社会行为产生负面影响的潜在机制。讨论这些研究结果的背景是，为了更好地理解拉美裔青少年的亲社会行为，需要考虑到文化、家庭和性别相关的社会化机制的综合理论。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Genetic Psychology is devoted to research and theory in the field of developmental psychology. It encompasses a life-span approach, so in addition to manuscripts devoted to infancy, childhood, and adolescence, articles on adulthood and aging are also published. We accept submissions in the area of educational psychology as long as they are developmental in nature. Submissions in cross cultural psychology are accepted, but they must add to our understanding of human development in a comparative global context. Applied, descriptive, and qualitative articles are occasionally accepted, as are replications and refinements submitted as brief reports. The review process for all submissions to The Journal of Genetic Psychology consists of double blind review.
