Ninth graders (N = 679; 50% male, 50% female) from Latin American (41%), Asian (38%), and European (21%) backgrounds reported on their ethnic identity and family attitudes and relationships. Adolescents also completed daily checklists of family interactions over a two-week period. Results indicated that ethnic identity, measured through exploration and belonging was more strongly associated with family obligation and assistance than with parent-child closeness and family leisure time. Adolescents from Latin American and Asian backgrounds reported significantly higher levels of obligation and assistance as compared to adolescents with European backgrounds, and these ethnic differences were mediated by ethnic identity. Longitudinal analyses indicated ongoing associations, with ethnic identity predicting respect and obligation one year later. The discussion focuses on the role of ethnic identity in children's family connectedness during adolescence.
来自拉丁美洲（41%）、亚洲（38%）和欧洲（21%）背景的九年级学生（N=679；男生占 50%，女生占 50%）报告了他们的种族认同以及家庭态度和关系。青少年还在两周的时间内每天记录家庭互动的清单。结果表明，种族认同（通过探索和归属感来衡量）与家庭义务和帮助的关系比与亲子亲密关系和家庭休闲时间的关系更为密切。与具有欧洲背景的青少年相比，来自拉丁美洲和亚洲背景的青少年报告的义务感和帮助感明显更高，而这些种族差异是由种族认同来调节的。纵向分析表明存在持续的关联，种族认同预测一年后对父母的尊重和义务。讨论的重点是种族认同在青少年时期孩子与家庭联系中的作用。
