OBJECTIVES This study was designed to examine associations among parents' familism values, adolescents' cultural resources, and externalizing behavior among Latinx youth in the Midwestern United States. METHOD Participants were 267 Latinx adolescents (M age = 15.58 years; SD = 1.28 years; 45% girls; 82.8% Mexican American) and their mothers/mother figures who completed individually administered interviews comprised of standardized measures. Structural equation modeling was used to test several alternative mediational models in which youth ethnic identity and familism values served as potential cultural mechanisms linking parents' familism values to lower levels of youth externalizing behavior. RESULTS Results showed that mothers' familism values were positively associated with youth ethnic identity which was positively associated with youth familism values; in turn, youth familism values were inversely associated with externalizing behavior. The findings did not differ by youth gender or nativity (U.S.-born vs. foreign-born youth). CONCLUSIONS These findings provide support for cultural resilience perspectives by highlighting the protective role of ethnic identity and familism values among U.S. Latinx adolescents.

将母亲的家庭主义价值观与美国中西部拉丁裔青少年的外化行为联系起来的文化机制。


目的 本研究旨在探讨美国中西部拉丁裔青少年父母的家庭主义价值观、青少年的文化资源和外化行为之间的关联。方法 参与者是 267 名拉丁裔青少年（M 年龄 = 15.58 岁；SD = 1.28 岁；45% 女孩；82.8% 墨西哥裔美国人）及其母亲/母亲人物，他们完成了由标准化措施组成的单独访谈。结构方程模型被用来测试几种替代中介模型，其中青年种族认同和家庭主义价值观作为潜在的文化机制，将父母的家庭主义价值观与较低水平的青年外化行为联系起来。结果结果显示，母亲的家庭主义价值观与青少年的民族认同正相关，青少年的民族认同与青少年的家庭主义价值观正相关；反过来，青年人的家庭主义价值观与外化行为呈负相关。研究结果并没有因青年性别或出生地（美国出生的青年与外国出生的青年）的不同而有所不同。结论 这些发现强调了美国拉丁裔青少年中种族认同和家庭主义价值观的保护作用，为文化复原力观点提供了支持。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
