This study investigates the role of familism values in fostering socialization experiences that promote prosocial behavioral tendencies among Mexican American adolescents. Two hundred and four Mexican American mothers and their adolescent children (104 girls, age M = 10.91 years) completed measures of familism values, prosocial parenting practices, and prosocial behavioral tendencies. Structural equation modeling tests indicated that mothers' familism values are related to parenting behaviors that promote prosocial behavioral tendencies, which in turn are related to adolescents' perception of prosocial parenting practices. Furthermore, adolescents' perception of prosocial parenting practices is related to familism values and prosocial behavior tendencies. Last, the relation between adolescents' perception of prosocial parenting practices and prosocial behavioral tendencies is partially mediated by familism values. These findings are consistent with the theoretical suggestion that the transmission of traditional familism values may serve as a social medium through which prosocial behavioral tendencies are fostered among Mexican American adolescents.
本研究旨在探讨家庭主义价值观在促进墨西哥裔美国青少年亲社会行为倾向的社会化经验中的作用。204 名墨西哥裔美国母亲及其青春期子女（104 名女孩，年龄 M=10.91 岁）完成了家庭主义价值观、亲社会养育实践和亲社会行为倾向的测量。结构方程模型测试表明，母亲的家庭主义价值观与促进亲社会行为倾向的养育行为有关，而这些养育行为又与青少年对亲社会养育实践的感知有关。此外，青少年对亲社会养育实践的感知与家庭主义价值观和亲社会行为倾向有关。最后，青少年对亲社会养育实践的感知和亲社会行为倾向之间的关系部分通过家庭主义价值观来介导。这些发现与理论假设一致，即传统家庭主义价值观的传递可能是一种社会媒介，通过它促进了墨西哥裔美国青少年亲社会行为倾向的发展。
