Abstract

Objectives: This study was designed to examine associations among parents' familism values, adolescents' cultural resources, and externalizing behavior among Latinx youth in the Midwestern United States.

Method: Participants were 267 Latinx adolescents (M age = 15.58 years; SD = 1.28 years; 45% girls; 82.8% Mexican American) and their mothers/mother figures who completed individually administered interviews comprised of standardized measures. Structural equation modeling was used to test several alternative mediational models in which youth ethnic identity and familism values served as potential cultural mechanisms linking parents' familism values to lower levels of youth externalizing behavior.

Results: Results showed that mothers' familism values were positively associated with youth ethnic identity which was positively associated with youth familism values; in turn, youth familism values were inversely associated with externalizing behavior. The findings did not differ by youth gender or nativity (U.S.-born vs. foreign-born youth).

Conclusions: These findings provide support for cultural resilience perspectives by highlighting the protective role of ethnic identity and familism values among U.S. Latinx adolescents. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

在美国中西部拉丁裔青少年中，将母亲的家庭主义价值观与外化行为联系起来的文化机制。

目的本研究旨在调查美国中西部拉丁裔青年父母的家庭主义价值观、青少年的文化资源和外化行为之间的关系。方法受试者为267名拉丁裔青少年（男性年龄=15.58岁；SD=1.28岁；45%为女孩；82.8%为墨西哥裔美国人），他们的母亲/母亲完成了由标准化措施组成的单独管理的访谈。结构方程模型被用于测试几种替代中介模型，其中青年种族认同和家庭主义价值观是将父母的家庭主义价值与较低水平的青年外化行为联系起来的潜在文化机制。结果：母亲的家庭主义价值观与青年民族认同呈正相关，青年民族认同与青年家庭主义价值呈正相关；反过来，青年家庭主义价值观与外化行为呈负相关。研究结果没有因青年性别或出生地（美国出生的青年与外国出生的青年）而有所不同。结论这些发现通过强调种族认同和家庭主义价值观在美国拉丁裔青少年中的保护作用，为文化韧性观点提供了支持。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
