Latent growth curve modeling was used to estimate developmental trajectories of self-esteem and cultural identity among American Indian high school students and to explore the relationships of these trajectories to personal resources, problem behaviors, and academic performance at the end of high school. The sample included 1,611 participants from the Voices of Indian Teens project, a 3-year longitudinal study of adolescents from 3 diverse American Indian cultural groups in the western United States. Trajectories of self-esteem were clearly related to academic achievement; cultural identity, in contrast, was largely unrelated, with no direct effects and only very small indirect effects. The relationships between self-esteem and success were mediated by personal resources and problem behaviors.
潜在增长曲线模型被用于估计美国印第安高中生自尊和文化认同的发展轨迹,并探究这些轨迹与个人资源、问题行为以及高中结束时学业成绩之间的关系。样本包括来自“印第安青少年之声”项目的1611名参与者,该项目是一项对美国西部3个不同印第安文化群体青少年进行的为期3年的纵向研究。自尊轨迹与学业成就明显相关;相比之下,文化认同在很大程度上与之无关,没有直接影响,只有非常小的间接影响。自尊与成功之间的关系由个人资源和问题行为介导。
