The purpose of this study was to assess the combined effects of ethnic identification and perceived parental monitoring on the substance use of a sample of 162 male and 192 female Mexican heritage seventh grade adolescents. Parental monitoring predicted lower risk for substance use. An interaction of ethnic identification by parental monitoring was observed with parental monitoring exhibiting stronger effects in decreasing use of alcohol use among boys who scored low on ethnic identification. For girls, decreased substance use was predicted by stronger parental monitoring coupled with high ethnic identification. Results are discussed in terms of how the youth's ethnic identification is a distinct process from acculturation, and how ethnic identification may operate as an added protective factor in conjunction with parental monitoring, as protective factors against adolescent substance abuse.
本研究的目的是评估种族认同和感知到的父母监督对162名墨西哥裔七年级男性青少年和192名女性青少年样本物质使用情况的综合影响。父母监督预示着物质使用风险较低。观察到种族认同与父母监督之间存在交互作用,对于种族认同得分较低的男孩,父母监督在减少酒精使用方面表现出更强的效果。对于女孩来说,较强的父母监督与较高的种族认同相结合预示着物质使用的减少。我们从青少年的种族认同如何与文化适应是一个不同的过程,以及种族认同如何作为一种额外的保护因素与父母监督一起发挥作用,作为预防青少年物质滥用的保护因素等方面对研究结果进行了讨论。
