Abstract

The current study examined communication between Mexican-origin college students (n = 84) and their parents and the supportive messages that students received. Students attend a Hispanic Serving Institution in central Texas. Most students (96.4%) communicated weekly with parents. Females communicated more with their mothers. Relationship quality was positively related to communication with fathers. Parents’ supportive messages targeted characteristics of parent–child relationships and noncognitive predictors of academic outcomes. Findings demonstrate that parents are a viable focus for college retention efforts.

交流频率和支持信息类型:墨西哥裔大学生与父母关系的混合方法研究

目前的研究调查了墨西哥裔大学生(n = 84)与父母之间的沟通以及学生收到的支持信息。学生们就读于德克萨斯州中部的一所西班牙裔服务机构。大多数学生(96.4%)每周与父母沟通。雌性与母亲的交流更多。人际关系质量与父亲沟通呈正相关。父母支持信息的目标是亲子关系的特征和学业成绩的非认知预测因素。研究结果表明，父母是大学留校努力的可行焦点。
