Abstract
This research examines whether physical punishment towards children in Méxican immigrant and native-born Latinx families of Mexican heritage households varies across immigrant generational status and if physical punishment is associated with important measures of culture: familismo, traditional machismo, acculturation to the United States and enculturation to México. Data from a sample of households in El Paso County, Texas, are analysed using Firth logistic regression. Findings show that physical punishment is lowest in first-generation immigrant households but, in sharp contrast, highest in 1.5-generation immigrant households, suggesting the need for more precise measurement of immigration status as such differentiation can be masked with a more general approach to measuring immigrant generation. Findings also indicate that enculturation to México is protective towards physical punishment, while measures of acculturation, familismo and traditional machismo are not associated with this behaviour in multivariate models.
