Perceived social support can help immigrant youth to deal with developmental acculturation: the simultaneous resolution of developmental and acculturative tasks. This person‐oriented three‐wave comparative study investigated perceived social support trajectories in two immigrant and one non‐immigrant group. We investigated whether similar social support trajectory classes can be found across groups, whether developmental and/or acculturation‐related processes predict class membership, and whether social support trajectory classes associate with changes in self‐efficacy. The sample comprised 1326 ethnic German immigrant and 830 non‐immigrant adolescents in Germany, and 1593 Russian Jewish adolescents in Israel (N = 3749; M_age = 15.45; SD = 2.01; 50% female). Results revealed two social support trajectory classes across all and within each group: a stable well‐supported class and a low but increasingly‐supported class. Respective to the increasingly‐supported class, membership in the well‐supported class was associated with commonality in developmental predictors (female gender, high involvement with family and peers) in all groups and specificity in acculturation‐related predictors (higher heritage and host culture orientation) in immigrant groups. Patterns of self‐efficacy over time matched social support trajectories of both classes in all groups. Findings indicate that stakeholders looking to support immigrant adolescents should be aware of the nuanced coaction of development and migration.

每个人都需要某人：移民和非移民青年感知社会支持轨迹的特异性和共性

感知到的社会支持可以帮助移民青年应对发展性文化适应：同时解决发展性和适应性任务。这项以人为本的三波比较研究调查了两个移民和一个非移民群体的感知社会支持轨迹。我们调查了是否可以在不同群体中找到类似的社会支持轨迹类别，发展和/或文化相关的过程是否可以预测类别成员身份，以及社会支持轨迹类别是否与自我效能感的变化相关。样本包括德国的 1326 名德国移民和 830 名非移民青少年，以及以色列的 1593 名俄罗斯犹太青少年（N = 3749；M_年龄= 15.45；SD= 2.01; 50% 女性）。结果揭示了所有和每个组内的两个社会支持轨迹类别：一个稳定的、支持良好的类别和一个低但越来越支持的类别。相对于越来越受支持的阶层，在受支持的阶层中的成员身份与所有群体的发展预测因素（女性、与家人和同龄人的高度参与）的共性以及与文化相关的预测因素（较高的遗产和东道国文化取向）的特异性有关) 在移民群体中。随着时间的推移，自我效能的模式与所有群体中两个阶层的社会支持轨迹相匹配。调查结果表明，希望支持移民青少年的利益相关者应该意识到发展和移民之间微妙的相互作用。
