Neighborhood social processes may have important implications for parenting processes and ethnic-racial identity (ERI) processes and content in adolescence. Past research suggests that adolescents whose parents engaged in more cultural socialization, an important aspect of parental racial socialization, had higher levels of ERI processes and content. Parenting, however, is also situated within neighborhood contexts and can be influenced by resources available in neighborhoods. For example, having neighbors who share mutual values, trust one another, and appreciate/celebrate one's heritage culture may be a resource that promotes parents' efforts to engage in cultural socialization. We prospectively examined (from x¯age = 10.9-15.8 years) a model in which U.S. Mexican parents' perceptions of neighborhood social and cultural cohesion supported parents' engagement in higher levels of cultural socialization and in turn promoted adolescents' ethnic-racial identity processes and content. We tested a longitudinal mediation model with a sample of 749 U.S. Mexican adolescents (30% Mexico born; 48.9% female) and their parents. Mother-adolescent models suggest mothers' perception of neighborhood social and cultural cohesion in late childhood promoted middle adolescents' ERI affirmation via intermediate increases in maternal cultural socialization. Similar patterns were observed for ERI resolution, but only for adolescents whose mothers were born in the United States. We did not find evidence for mediation in the father-adolescent models. Findings are discussed in the context of the promoting nature of socially and culturally supportive neighborhood environments for U.S. Mexican families and adolescents.

对美国墨西哥青少年种族种族认同的邻里社会和文化凝聚力和养育过程的前瞻性研究。

邻里社会过程可能对青春期的育儿过程和种族-种族认同 (ERI) 过程和内容具有重要意义。过去的研究表明，父母参与更多文化社会化（父母种族社会化的一个重要方面）的青少年具有更高水平的 ERI 过程和内容。然而，育儿也位于邻里环境中，并且可能受到邻里可用资源的影响。例如，拥有共同价值观、相互信任并欣赏/庆祝自己的遗产文化的邻居可能是促进父母参与文化社会化的一种资源。我们前瞻性地检查了（从 x¯age = 10.9-15.8 岁）一个模型，其中美国墨西哥父母的 对邻里社会和文化凝聚力的看法支持父母参与更高水平的文化社会化，进而促进青少年的民族-种族认同过程和内容。我们以 749 名美国墨西哥青少年（30% 墨西哥出生；48.9% 女性）及其父母为样本测试了纵向中介模型。母亲-青少年模型表明，母亲在童年后期对社区社会和文化凝聚力的看法通过母亲文化社会化的中间增加促进了中期青少年的 ERI 肯定。在 ERI 分辨率方面观察到类似的模式，但仅适用于母亲出生在美国的青少年。我们没有在父亲-青少年模型中找到调解的证据。在美国墨西哥家庭和青少年的社会和文化支持社区环境的促进性质的背景下讨论了调查结果。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
