Abstract

The current research used reports among 350 Latinx young adults (60.3% male) between 18 and 21 years (Mage = 20.18, SD = 1.02). Using the cultural transmission model (Carlo & de Guzman, Handbook of U.S. Latino psychology. Sage Publications, Inc., 2009), the goal of the current study was to investigate the associations that sibling caregiving during adolescence, measured retrospectively, may have on ethnic identity resolution (EIR), and in turn, depressive symptoms, and responsibility among Latinx young adults. Path analysis results suggest that sibling caregiving was positively associated with EIR and responsibility. EIR was negatively associated with depressive symptoms and positively associated with responsibility. Both indirect effects via EIR were significant: sibling caregiving to depressive symptoms and responsibility. Our findings highlight that sibling caregiving affects young adult outcomes indirectly via ethnic identity development. The findings have important implications for practitioners and researchers to understand how ethnic identity may be related to young adult outcomes through a sibling-focused lens. Family interventions that leverage sibling relationships can be incorporated to improve the well-being of Latinx adolescents and young adults.

拉丁裔年轻人对兄弟姐妹照顾的回顾：与种族认同、责任感和抑郁症状的关系

本次研究使用了 350 名年龄在 18 至 21 岁之间的拉丁裔年轻人（60.3% 为男性）的报告（Mage = 20.18，SD = 1.02）。使用文化传播模型（Carlo & de Guzman，《美国拉丁裔心理学手册》。Sage Publications, Inc., 2009），本研究的目的是通过回顾性测量，调查青春期兄弟姐妹的照顾可能对拉美裔青少年的种族认同解决（EIR），进而对抑郁症状和责任感产生的影响。路径分析结果表明，兄弟姐妹的照顾与种族认同解决和责任感呈正相关。EIR 与抑郁症状呈负相关，而与责任感呈正相关。通过 EIR 产生的两个间接效应都很显著：兄弟姐妹的照顾对抑郁症状和责任感的影响。我们的研究结果突出表明，兄弟姐妹的照顾会通过种族认同的发展间接影响青少年的成长结果。这些研究结果对于从业人员和研究人员通过以兄弟姐妹为中心的视角来了解种族认同如何与青少年的成长结果相关具有重要意义。利用兄弟姐妹关系的家庭干预措施可以改善拉丁裔青少年和年轻成人的福祉。
