Abstract

Objectives: The present study examined the association between acculturative stress and rule-breaking behaviors, with depressive symptoms as the mediator, and emotion regulation and parental behavioral involvement (i.e., time spent in shared activities between parents and adolescents) as the moderators among Latinx adolescents in rural areas.

Method: Using a sample of Latinx adolescents (N = 193; M_age = 15.90; 54.4% female) recruited from rural areas, a moderated mediation model was tested.

Results: Findings showed that the mediational pathways connecting acculturative stress, depressive symptoms, and rule-breaking behaviors were moderated by emotion regulation and parental behavioral involvement. Specifically, higher levels of acculturative stress were associated with higher levels of rule-breaking behaviors through elevated depressive symptoms only among adolescents who reported low levels of both emotion regulation and parental behavioral involvement.

Conclusion: These findings underscore the importance of considering multiple contextual factors in understanding the development of internalizing and externalizing behaviors among Latinx adolescents in rural areas. The findings suggest intervention programs may target parental behavioral involvement and emotion regulation to help adolescents cope with acculturative stress and perhaps other minority stressors.

农村地区拉美裔青少年的文化适应压力与违反规则行为之间的关系：调节中介分析

研究目的本研究以抑郁症状为中介，以情绪调节和父母行为参与（即父母与青少年共同参与活动的时间）为调节器，探讨了农村地区拉美裔青少年的文化适应压力与破坏规则行为之间的关联：方法：使用从农村地区招募的拉美裔青少年样本（N = 193；Mage = 15.90；54.4%为女性），对调节中介模型进行了测试：结果表明，连接文化适应压力、抑郁症状和破坏规则行为的中介途径受到情绪调节和父母行为参与的调节。具体来说，只有在情绪调节和父母行为参与程度都较低的青少年中，较高水平的文化适应压力才会通过抑郁症状的升高与较高水平的破坏规则行为相关联：这些发现强调了在理解农村地区拉美裔青少年内化和外化行为的发展过程中考虑多种背景因素的重要性。研究结果表明，干预计划可以以父母的行为参与和情绪调节为目标，帮助青少年应对文化适应压力和其他少数族裔压力。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, 版权所有）。
