Abstract

We describe Mexican American 7(th) graders' expectations for future work and family roles and investigate links between patterns of future expectations and adolescents' cultural experiences and adjustment. Adolescents participated in home interviews and a series of seven nightly phone calls. Five unique patterns of adolescents' future expectations were identified (N = 246): Career Oriented, Independent, Family Oriented, Early, and Inconsistent. Career Oriented adolescents had the highest socioeconomic status and contact with the U.S. (e.g., generation status) whereas Family Oriented adolescents had the lowest. Cultural orientations, values, and involvement also varied across groups. For example, Career Oriented adolescents reported significantly higher familism values compared to Inconsistent adolescents. Clusters also differed on adjustment: Career Oriented and Family Oriented adolescents reported higher parental warmth and less risky behavior compared to Independent and Inconsistent adolescents. Findings underscore the multi-faceted nature of adolescents' future expectations and the diversity in cultural experiences among Mexican origin youth.

墨西哥裔美国七年级学生未来工作与家庭计划:与文化体验与适应的关联。

我们描述了墨西哥裔美国七年级学生对未来工作和家庭角色的期望，并调查了未来期望模式与青少年文化体验和适应之间的联系。青少年参加了家庭访谈和一系列每晚7次的电话。青少年未来期望有五种独特的模式(N = 246):职业导向、独立导向、家庭导向、早期导向和不一致导向。以事业为导向的青少年的社会经济地位和与美国的接触(如代际地位)最高，而以家庭为导向的青少年的社会经济地位和接触最低。不同群体的文化取向、价值观和参与度也各不相同。例如，以事业为导向的青少年报告的家庭主义价值显著高于不一致的青少年。集群在适应方面也存在差异:与独立和不一致的青少年相比，职业导向和家庭导向的青少年报告了更高的父母温暖和更少的风险行为。研究结果强调了青少年对未来期望的多面性以及墨西哥裔青年文化体验的多样性。
