Latino/a adolescents are increasingly represented in higher education. Whereas previous work suggests that positive aspects of the family can promote adjustment during the college transition, less is known regarding the longitudinal, reciprocal nature of these associations. The current study examined changes in parenting, family dynamics, and adjustment across the transition from high school to college among 207 Latino/a young adults (Mage = 18.10; 65.0% female identifying) in the Southwestern United States and investigated within- and between-person reciprocal relations using standard and random-intercept cross-lagged panel models. Participants self-reported on parental support, parental monitoring, family communication, depressive symptoms, and alcohol use during their senior year of high school (Time 1; spring/summer 2017), first semester of college (Time 2; fall 2017), and second semester of college (Time 3; spring/summer 2018). Parental support, family communication, depressive symptoms, and alcohol use increased across the initial transition from high school to college, whereas parental monitoring decreased across time. Reciprocal effects were largely between-person driven. Family communication in high school was concurrently and prospectively related to fewer depressive symptoms. Higher parental monitoring during the first semester of college was related to less alcohol use within and across semesters. In addition, students who experienced within-person increases in depressive symptoms during the first semester of college perceived less parental support than usual the next semester. Study findings point to the importance of developmental timing and further highlight the role that family plays during Latino/a students' transition to college. Implications for family-based prevention efforts are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).

拉丁裔/学生向大学过渡的家庭动态和调整：解开人内和人与人之间的相互联系。

拉丁裔青少年在高等教育中的比例越来越高。尽管之前的研究表明，家庭的积极方面可以促进大学过渡期间的调整，但人们对这些关联的纵向、互惠性质知之甚少。当前的研究调查了美国西南部 207 名拉丁裔/a 年轻人（Mage = 18.10；65.0% 为女性）从高中到大学过渡期间养育方式、家庭动态和调整的变化，并在内部和之间进行了调查使用标准和随机截距交叉滞后面板模型的人互惠关系。参与者自我报告高中高年级期间的父母支持、父母监督、家庭沟通、抑郁症状和饮酒情况（时间 1；2017 年春/夏），大学第一学期（时间 2；2017 年秋季）和大学第二学期（时间 3；2018 年春/夏）。从高中到大学的最初过渡期间，父母的支持、家庭沟通、抑郁症状和饮酒有所增加，而父母的监督则随着时间的推移而减少。相互影响主要是人与人之间驱动的。高中时期的家庭沟通与较少的抑郁症状同时和前瞻性相关。大学第一学期加强家长监督与学期内和跨学期饮酒较少有关。此外，在大学第一学期经历了抑郁症状增加的学生在下学期感受到的父母支持比平时更少。研究结果指出了发展时机的重要性，并进一步强调了家庭在拉丁裔/学生向大学过渡期间所发挥的作用。讨论了对以家庭为基础的预防工作的影响。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
