Research has documented a relation between parents' ethnic socialization and youth's ethnic identity, yet there has been little research examining the transmission of cultural values from parents to their children through ethnic socialization and ethnic identity. This study examines a prospective model in which mothers' and fathers' Mexican American values and ethnic socialization efforts are linked to their children's ethnic identity and Mexican American values, in a sample of 750 families (including 467 two-parent families) from an ongoing longitudinal study of Mexican American families (Roosa, Liu, Torres, Gonzales, Knight, & Saenz, 2008). Findings indicated that the socialization of Mexican American values was primarily a function of mothers' Mexican American values and ethnic socialization, and that mothers' Mexican American values were longitudinally related to children's Mexican American values. Finally, these associations were consistent across gender and nativity groups.
研究已经记录了父母的种族社会化与青少年的种族认同之间的关系，但很少有研究探讨通过种族社会化和种族认同将文化价值观从父母传递给子女的情况。本研究考察了一个前瞻性模型，在一项对墨西哥裔美国家庭的长期纵向研究（鲁萨、刘、托雷斯、冈萨雷斯、奈特和萨恩斯，2008年）的750个家庭（包括467个双亲家庭）样本中，母亲和父亲的墨西哥裔美国价值观以及种族社会化努力与他们子女的种族认同和墨西哥裔美国价值观相关联。研究结果表明，墨西哥裔美国价值观的社会化主要是母亲的墨西哥裔美国价值观和种族社会化的作用，并且母亲的墨西哥裔美国价值观与子女的墨西哥裔美国价值观存在纵向关联。最后，这些关联在性别和出生群体中是一致的。
