This study examined family and cultural influences on adjustment among 90 low-income Latino middle school children (46% girls; average age = 11.38, SD = .66) and their primary caregivers (93% female; average age = 36.12, SD = 6.13). All participants identified as Hispanic/Latino, with 75% of families identifying as Mexican-origin Latino, and 77% of parents and 32% of children identifying as immigrants. Hierarchical linear modeling analyses revealed that family reframing interacted with familism, with high levels of both associated with fewer psychological symptoms, whereas passive appraisal is linked to worse functioning. Results are discussed with regard to the implications of this research for preventive interventions with families in poverty.
本研究考察了家庭和文化对 90 名低收入拉丁裔中学生（46%为女孩；平均年龄=11.38，标准差=.66）及其主要照顾者（93%为女性；平均年龄=36.12，标准差=6.13）的适应能力的影响。所有参与者都自认为是西班牙裔/拉丁裔，其中 75%的家庭是墨西哥裔拉丁裔，77%的父母和 32%的孩子是移民。分层线性模型分析显示，家庭重新构建与家庭主义相互作用，两者水平都高与较少的心理症状有关，而被动评价则与功能恶化有关。研究结果与贫困家庭预防干预的意义有关。
