This study examined interactive relations between adolescent, maternal and paternal familism values and deviant peer affiliations in predicting adolescent externalizing problems within low-income, Mexican-origin families (N = 598). Adolescent, maternal and paternal familism values interacted protectively with deviant peer affiliations to predict lower levels of externalizing problems according to two independent teacher reports. These relations were not found with parent reports of adolescent externalizing problems although these models showed a direct, protective effect of maternal familism values. Consistent with the view that traditional cultural values are protective for Latino adolescents, these results suggest that supporting familism values among Mexican-origin groups is a useful avenue for improving adolescent conduct problems, particularly in a school context.
本研究考察了青少年、母亲和父亲的家庭主义价值观与不良同伴关系之间的交互关系,以预测低收入墨西哥裔家庭(N = 598)中青少年的外化问题。根据两份独立的教师报告,青少年、母亲和父亲的家庭主义价值观与不良同伴关系产生了保护性的交互作用,从而预测出较低水平的外化问题。尽管这些模型显示出母亲的家庭主义价值观具有直接的保护作用,但在父母对青少年外化问题的报告中并未发现这些关系。这些结果与传统文化价值观对拉丁裔青少年具有保护作用的观点一致,表明在墨西哥裔群体中支持家庭主义价值观是改善青少年行为问题的有效途径,尤其是在学校环境中。
