Ethnic and generation differences in the frequency and types of ethnic socialization messages that 524 eleventh-grade adolescents from Mexican, Chinese, and European backgrounds received from their parents were examined. Results indicated that adolescents from both Mexican and Chinese backgrounds reported more cultural socialization and preparation for bias messages than their peers from European backgrounds. Chinese adolescents reported more promotion of mistrust messages than their peers with European backgrounds. Moreover, promotion of mistrust messages negatively predicted academic achievement, whereas positive cultural socialization messages accounted for the higher levels of motivation among adolescents from Chinese and Mexican backgrounds as compared with their equally achieving peers from European backgrounds.
研究调查了524名来自墨西哥、中国和欧洲背景的十一年级青少年从父母那里收到的族裔社会化信息的频率和类型在族裔和代际上的差异。结果表明,来自墨西哥和中国背景的青少年比来自欧洲背景的同龄人报告了更多的文化社会化和针对偏见信息的准备。与欧洲背景的同龄人相比,中国青少年报告了更多对不信任信息的宣扬。此外,对不信任信息的宣扬对学业成绩有负面预测作用,而积极的文化社会化信息则解释了与同样成绩的欧洲背景同龄人相比,来自中国和墨西哥背景的青少年有更高水平的动机。
