Abstract

Social capital provides information and resources to help immigrant parents navigate social structures and support their families' well-being (Bankston, 2014; Serrano-Villar et al., 2017; Surkan et al., 2023). This study explored how unique components of structural and relational social capital influenced Latina immigrant mothers' ability to navigate social structures and support their children's education. Conducted within the context of a bilingual preschool that primarily serves Latine immigrant families, this study utilized social network analysis and survey data to examine the effects of mothers' structural and relational social capital. Findings suggested unique effects of Latina immigrant mothers' direct and indirect connections, and that their development of structural and relational social capital influenced their navigational support, parenting self-efficacy, and educational involvement. These results support community-focused programming that connects Latina immigrant mothers to one another, promoting the exchange of social and cultural assets to benefit their children and families.

结构与关系社会资本对拉丁裔母亲社区的影响

社会资本提供信息和资源，帮助移民父母驾驭社会结构，支持他们的家庭幸福(Bankston, 2014；Serrano-Villar et al., 2017；Surkan et al., 2023)。本研究探讨了结构和关系社会资本的独特组成部分如何影响拉丁裔移民母亲驾驭社会结构和支持子女教育的能力。本研究在一个以拉丁移民家庭为主要服务对象的双语幼儿园中进行，利用社会网络分析和调查数据来检验母亲的结构和关系社会资本的影响。研究结果表明，拉丁裔移民母亲的直接和间接联系具有独特的影响，其结构和关系社会资本的发展影响了她们的导航支持、育儿自我效能和教育参与。这些结果支持以社区为重点的规划，将拉丁裔移民母亲彼此联系起来，促进社会和文化资产的交换，使其子女和家庭受益。
