Abstract

Abstract This study explored whether Latinx adolescents’ ethnic identity and stressful experiences predicted characteristics of their naturally-occurring mentoring relationships with non-parental adults. Ninth-grade Latinx students completed surveys about ethnic identity, stress exposure, and their natural mentoring relationships during 9th and 10th grade. Youth who showed greater ethnic identity exploration in 9th grade perceived more support from mentors who were family members at follow-up. In addition, Latinx youth who experienced more stressors were less likely to identify familial mentors and to retain familial and Latinx mentors from baseline to follow-up. Youth who were exposed to more stressors also reported receiving significantly more support from their natural mentors at follow-up, but this association was only observed for non-Latinx mentors. Findings are some of the first to identify predictors of mentor retention and perceived mentoring relationship support among Latinx youth, and have implications for understanding intergenerational relationships that may promote resilience in this population.

族群认同与压力源在拉丁裔青少年自然辅导支持中的作用

摘要本研究探讨了拉丁裔青少年的种族认同和压力经历是否预测了他们与非父母成年人自然发生的辅导关系的特征。九年级的拉丁裔学生在九年级和十年级完成了关于种族认同、压力暴露以及他们天生的指导关系的调查。在九年级表现出更多种族认同探索的年轻人在后续行动中感受到了家庭成员导师的更多支持。此外，经历更多压力源的拉丁裔青年不太可能找到家庭导师，也不太可能从基线到随访期间保留家庭和拉丁裔导师。据报道，暴露于更多压力源的年轻人在随访中也从他们的自然导师那里得到了更多的支持，但这种联系只在非拉丁裔导师中观察到。研究结果是第一批确定拉丁裔青年导师保留和感知辅导关系支持的预测因素，并对理解可能促进该人群恢复力的代际关系具有重要意义。

期刊介绍： The focus of this multidisciplinary journal is the synthesis of research and application to promote positive development across the life span and across the globe. The journal publishes research that generates descriptive and explanatory knowledge about dynamic and reciprocal person-environment interactions essential to informed public dialogue, social policy, and preventive and development optimizing interventions.
