This study of 598 7th grade students of Mexican origin examined the role of traditional cultural values as a mediator of the effects of immigrant status, Mexican cultural orientation and Anglo cultural orientation on adolescent externalizing behavior and academic engagement. Immigrant status of adolescents and their maternal caregivers uniquely predicted increased Mexican cultural orientation and decreased Anglo cultural orientation, and both Mexican and Anglo cultural orientation related positively to adolescents' endorsement of traditional cultural values. Endorsement of traditional cultural values related, in turn, to decreased externalizing behaviors and increased academic engagement and these findings were replicated across adolescent and teacher report of these two outcomes. Tests of mediation provided further evidence to support these pathways. Findings support the central importance of traditional cultural values as a protective resource that explains why immigrant youth exhibit fewer externalizing problems and increased academic engagement when compared to their second and third generation peers.
这项针对598名墨西哥裔七年级学生的研究，考察了传统文化价值观作为一种中介因素的作用，该中介因素涉及移民身份、墨西哥文化取向和盎格鲁文化取向对青少年外化行为和学业参与度的影响。青少年及其母亲的移民身份独特地预测了墨西哥文化取向的增加和盎格鲁文化取向的减少，并且墨西哥文化取向和盎格鲁文化取向都与青少年对传统文化价值观的认同呈正相关。反过来，对传统文化价值观的认同与外化行为的减少和学业参与度的增加相关，并且在青少年和教师对这两个结果的报告中都重复出现了这些发现。中介效应检验为支持这些路径提供了进一步的证据。研究结果支持了传统文化价值观作为一种保护资源的核心重要性，这解释了为什么与第二代和第三代同龄人相比，移民青少年表现出较少的外化问题和更高的学业参与度。
