Characteristics of the familial and societal context were examined as predictors of Latino adolescents' (N = 323; 49.5% female) ethnic identity. Consistent with previous work, familial ethnic socialization significantly predicted future levels of ethnic identity exploration, resolution, and affirmation for both male adolescents and female adolescents, although the association was significantly stronger for female adolescents than male adolescents for exploration and resolution. Furthermore, for male adolescents, higher levels of familial ethnic socialization were significantly associated with a faster rate of growth for ethnic identity resolution. In addition, paternal warmth-support emerged as a significant longitudinal predictor of male adolescents', but not female adolescents', ethnic identity exploration. Finally, perceived discrimination was significantly associated with male adolescents', but not female adolescents', ethnic identity exploration and affirmation. Significant gender differences in the relations of interest highlight the need to consider variability in the process of ethnic identity formation by gender.
本研究考察了家庭和社会环境特征对拉丁裔青少年（N=323；49.5%为女性）的族群认同的预测作用。与先前的研究一致，家庭的族群社会化显著预测了男性和女性青少年未来的族群认同探索、解决和肯定水平，尽管这种关联对女性青少年比男性青少年更强。此外，对于男性青少年来说，较高水平的家庭族群社会化与族群认同解决的更快发展速度显著相关。此外，父亲的温暖支持成为男性青少年而非女性青少年族群认同探索的重要纵向预测指标。最后，感知歧视与男性青少年的族群认同探索和肯定显著相关，但与女性青少年无关。在这些相关关系中存在显著的性别差异，这凸显了需要考虑性别对族群认同形成过程的影响。
