Abstract

As the rate of international marriage increases, the adaptation of multicultural families and their children—multicultural adolescents—remains an issue requiring continuous monitoring, support, and improvement. This study investigates the mediating effects of parental support on the relationship between bicultural acceptance attitude and self-esteem among multicultural adolescents. Data are derived from 1197 high school sophomores, all of whom were multicultural adolescents, surveyed by the National Youth Policy Institute in 2018. Descriptive statistics, correlation, and hierarchical regression were used during data analysis. Bicultural acceptance attitude, parental support, and self-esteem all showed mutual positive correlations. Parental support had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between bicultural acceptance attitude and self-esteem. Multicultural adolescents exposed to both parent’s cultures are more likely to develop positive self-esteem and a healthy personality if they receive the support of their parents. The self-esteem of multicultural adolescents can be improved by implementing measures to nurture a bicultural acceptance attitude and parental support.

多元文化青少年的双文化接受态度与自尊之间的关系：父母支持的中介效应

随着跨国婚姻的增加，多元文化家庭及其子女--多元文化青少年--的适应问题仍然是一个需要不断监督、支持和改进的问题。本研究探讨了父母支持对多元文化青少年双文化接受态度与自尊之间关系的中介效应。数据来源于美国国家青年政策研究所2018年调查的1197名高中二年级学生，均为多元文化青少年。数据分析过程中使用了描述性统计、相关性和分层回归等方法。双文化接受态度、父母支持和自尊均呈现相互正相关。父母的支持对双文化接受态度和自尊之间的关系有部分中介作用。受到父母双方文化影响的多元文化青少年如果得到父母的支持，更有可能形成积极的自尊和健康的人格。通过采取培养双文化接受态度和父母支持的措施，可以提高多元文化青少年的自尊心。
