Using a sample of 388 father-adolescent and 399 mother-adolescent dyads in Chinese immigrant families, the current investigation tested Portes and Rumbaut's (1996) assertion that generational dissonance may indicate a family context that places children at increased risk for adverse outcomes. Study findings suggest that a high discrepancy in father-adolescent acculturation levels relates significantly to more adolescent depressive symptoms. The study further demonstrates that the quality of the parenting relationship between fathers and adolescents operates as a mediator between father-adolescent acculturation discrepancy and adolescent depressive symptoms. Specifically, a high level of discrepancy in American orientation between fathers and adolescents is associated with unsupportive parenting practices, which, in turn, are linked to more adolescent depressive symptoms. These relationships are significant even after controlling for the influence of family socioeconomic status and parents' and adolescents' sense of discrimination within the larger society.
本研究以388个中国移民家庭中的父亲 - 青少年二元组和399个母亲 - 青少年二元组为样本，检验了波特斯和伦巴特（1996）的论断，即代际失调可能表明家庭环境会使孩子面临不良后果风险增加。研究结果表明，父亲与青少年文化适应水平的高度差异与更多青少年抑郁症状显著相关。该研究进一步表明，父亲与青少年之间养育关系的质量在父亲 - 青少年文化适应差异和青少年抑郁症状之间起中介作用。具体而言，父亲与青少年在美国取向方面的高度差异与不支持性的养育方式相关，而这种养育方式又与更多青少年抑郁症状相关。即使在控制了家庭社会经济地位以及父母和青少年在更大社会中的受歧视感的影响后，这些关系仍然显著。
