Abstract

Drawing on Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory (1977), this study examined the antecedents and outcomes of internalized model minority myth (MMM) within the microsystem of family and the macrosystem of culture. Among Korean immigrant families, we examined how mothers' internalized MMM (i.e., achievement orientation, unrestricted mobility) and youth's cultural orientations (i.e., acculturation, enculturation) were related to youth's internalized MMM and had direct and indirect relations to youth outcomes (i.e., life satisfaction, depression, antisocial behaviors, and academic performance). In a sample of 334 Korean immigrant mother-youth dyads (155 female youth; 132 foreign-born youth; Mage of youth = 16.37; Mage of mothers = 46.94), we conducted a path analysis by using the maximum likelihood and bootstrapping methods. A path analysis revealed mothers' achievement orientation was indirectly related to youth's academic performance via youth's beliefs in unrestricted mobility. In general, mothers' internalized MMM had harmful relationships to youth's depression and antisocial behaviors versus mixed relationships to academic performance. Importantly, mothers' internalized MMM indicated greater direct and indirect associations with youth outcomes than youth's own internalized MMM. A follow-up analysis of moderated mediation ruled out the possibility that academic performance moderated the relations of youth's internalized MMM and outcomes and thus masked any significant associations. Overall, the current findings highlighted the importance of understanding the internalized MMM within the microsystem of the close-knit Korean immigrant family relations. Implications for research, family intervention, parent education and outreach were discussed.

韩国移民家庭的文化适应/文化融合与内化的模范少数民族神话。
本研究借鉴布朗芬布伦纳(Bronfenbrenner)的生态系统论(1977 年),考察了家庭微观系统和文化宏观系统中内化的模范少数族裔神话(MMM)的前因和结果。在韩国移民家庭中,我们研究了母亲内化的 MMM(即成就取向、不受限制的流动性)和青少年的文化取向(即文化适应、文化涵化)如何与青少年内化的 MMM 相关,以及与青少年的结果(即生活满意度、抑郁、反社会行为和学业成绩)有哪些直接或间接的关系。我们以 334 个韩国移民母亲-青少年组合(155 个女性青少年;132 个外国出生的青少年;青少年的 Mage = 16.37;母亲的 Mage = 46.94)为样本,采用最大似然法和引导法进行了路径分析。路径分析显示,母亲的成就取向与青少年的学业成绩间接相关,而青少年的成就取向与母亲的无限制流动信念间接相关。总体而言,母亲的内化 MMM 与青少年的抑郁和反社会行为存在有害关系,而与学业成绩存在混合关系。重要的是,与青少年自身的内化 MMM 相比,母亲的内化 MMM 与青少年结果的直接和间接关联更大。后续的调节中介分析排除了学业成绩调节了青少年内化的 MMM 与结果的关系,从而掩盖了任何显著关联的可能性。总之,目前的研究结果强调了在紧密联系的韩国移民家庭关系的微观系统中理解内化的 MMM 的重要性。研究还讨论了研究、家庭干预、家长教育和外联工作的意义。
