Abstract

Introduction: As active coping strategies support the development and adjustment of Latinx adolescents, it is important to identify periods of growth and decline. Yet, no work has examined trajectories of active coping within the unique developmental context of Latinx adolescents. The purpose of this study was to (a) examine changes in active coping strategies during the transition from middle to high school (Goal 1) and (b) explore variations in the trajectories of active coping by gender and nativity (Goal 2) among Latinx adolescents.

Method: Using latent growth curve analysis, trajectories of active coping strategies across the transition from middle to high school, (i.e., 3 time points, 8th grade, 9th grade, and 10th grade) were examined among 288 Latinx adolescents at ages 13 to15 at Time 1 (MageT1 = 13.69, SDageT1 = 0.56).

Results: The study found stability in the trajectory of active coping during the transition from 8th to 9th grade, but a significant curvilinear decline in active coping during the transition from 9th grade to 10th grade; there were no differences in the trajectory of active coping by gender and nativity.

Conclusion: The findings suggest that the transition from 9th grade to 10th grade is a sensitive period that clinical and educational program administrators may want to target when focusing on developing active coping among Latinx adolescents.

拉丁裔青少年积极应对策略的变化:潜在增长曲线。
引言:由于积极的应对策略支持拉丁裔青少年的发展和调整,因此确定成长和衰退时期是很重要的。然而,在拉丁裔青少年独特的发展背景下,还没有研究过积极应对的轨迹。本研究的目的是(a)研究拉丁裔青少年在初中到高中阶段积极应对策略的变化(目标1)和(b)探索性别和出生背景对积极应对轨迹的影响(目标2)。方法:采用潜在生长曲线分析方法,对288名13 ~ 15岁拉丁裔青少年在第1时间点(MageT1 = 13.69, SDageT1 = 0.56)从初中到高中(即8年级、9年级和10年级3个时间点)的积极应对策略发展轨迹进行分析。结果:八年级至九年级学生积极应对的发展轨迹较为稳定,九年级至十年级学生积极应对的发展轨迹呈明显的曲线性下降;在积极应对的轨迹上,性别和出生没有差异。结论:研究结果表明,九年级到十年级的过渡阶段是临床和教育项目管理者在培养拉丁裔青少年积极应对能力时需要关注的敏感阶段。
