Among our sample of Latino 9th graders (n 212) residing in impoverished, urban cities, we examine whether the immigrant paradox exists with regard to Latino adolescents’ educational values and school effort and whether cultural values serve as a protective factor for Latino youth. Our findings provide evidence for the immigrant paradox with regard to educational values in both our full sample as well as the Dominican American subsample and highlight the importance of drawing greater distinctions within cohorts of second-generation Latino youth. Further, greater endorsement of traditional cultural values, such as familismo and family obligations, were significantly related to adolescents’ educational values and school effort. Hence, this study underscores the importance of family processes and cultural values in motivating children of immigrants to succeed academically.","PeriodicalId":94085,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latina/o psychology","volume":"105 1","pages":"56-69"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72934658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of the present study was to assess the validity of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) BMI 95th percentile to identify excess adiposity in a sample of rural Latina/o youth. Height and weight and anthropometric skinfold measures were obtained for 636 third through fifth grade Latina/o students. Approximately 41.5% of the sample fell within the obese BMI range. Receiver operating characteristic curves were utilized to assess the sensitivity and specificity of the CDC BMI 95th percentile in classifying excess percent body fat. For the total sample, the BMI 95th percentile showed a sensitivity of 0.84 and specificity of 0.80. The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.82 indicating fair to good discriminatory power. Subgroup analysis indicated high sensitivity (0.95) for Latina girls and high specificity (0.91) for Latino boys. Our findings suggest that rural Latino boys have a greater likelihood of being under identified as having excess adiposity when using BMI in isolation. These findings provide initial evidence for a need for racial/ethnic specific BMI norms for Latina/o youth.","PeriodicalId":94085,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latina/o psychology","volume":"13 1","pages":"121-128"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84395511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study uses an ecocultural framework to identify socialization factors that promote the development of Latina science identities. Thirty-two college-aged Latinas in science-related majors participated in focus groups, and an additional 12 participated in interviews. Using interactive qualitative analysis (Northcutt & McCoy, 2004), we found 8 factors that influenced the development of a science identity: home environment, teacher influences, school experiences, contextual factors, media, using your brain, emotions, and career planning. Participants saw the first 4 factors as initiators of their development, with media as an irregular contributor. These environmental factors were filtered through the individual factors of using your brain and emotions, with career planning as the outcome. The results overall support that Latina science identity development results from a system of influences, with parents and teachers providing the foundations of interest and school experiences providing the impetus toward specific subject matter.","PeriodicalId":94085,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latina/o psychology","volume":"83 1","pages":"103-120"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91040495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Los investigadores han estudiado a los/as Latinos/as como un grupo homogéneo. Hasta ahora, poca atención se le ha dado a la forma en que el proceso de socialización racial impacta de manera diferente al desarrollo de la identidad racial y étnica en Latinos de piel clara y oscura.

De acuerdo con las conclusiones de este estudio, el proceso de socialización racial de las Latinas no las prepara para la discriminación. Esto puede ser perjudicial para los/as Latinos/as de piel oscura, ya que ellos pueden ser discriminados. Además, aunque se las prepare, las Latinas de piel oscura no se benefician necesariamente del proceso de socialización racial debido a las experiencias raciales y los estereotipos étnicos que existen fuera del entorno familiar, en el contexto de la sociedad de los Estados Unidos.","PeriodicalId":94085,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latina/o psychology","volume":"32 1","pages":"200-213"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87937867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Familism has been described as a Latino cultural value that emphasizes obligation, filial piety, family support and obedience, and its effects have been documented as primarily protective across childhood and adolescence. This review seeks to organize and critique existing research using a developmental science framework. Key tenets of this perspective that are highlighted in the review are close consideration of how familism develops within an individual across time, manifests itself at different points in development, and impacts child, adolescent, and family functioning. Forty-four articles were examined and categorized with results showing that the protective influence of familism is most evident during the period of adolescence. Consideration of expressions of familism and the impact of familism on outcomes during earlier and later periods of development is offered as a recommendation for deriving a more complete understanding of the function of familism in Latino families.","PeriodicalId":94085,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latina/o psychology","volume":"464 1","pages":"224-250"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77039369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
