PURPOSE
To describe Mexican-origin youths' trajectories of depressive symptoms from early to late adolescence and examine the role of three aspects of familism values: supportive, obligation, and referent.
METHODS
Mexican-origin adolescents (N = 492) participated in home interviews and provided self-reports of depressive symptoms and cultural values at four assessments across an 8-year span. Using a cohort sequential design and accounting for the nesting within the 246 families (two youths per family), we examined depressive symptoms from ages 12 to 22 years and the within-person, between-sibling, and between-family effects of familism values.
RESULTS
Mexican-origin males' depressive symptoms decreased across adolescence, whereas females' symptoms exhibited a cubic pattern of change. Results revealed that increases in supportive and referent familism values within individuals and across families were related to lower levels of depressive symptoms. Findings were most pronounced for referent familism values, as a between-sibling effect also emerged. Obligation familism values were not associated with depressive symptoms.
CONCLUSIONS
Our findings provide important descriptive information about Mexican-origin youths' depressive symptoms and highlight the promotive role of familism values.
目的
描述墨西哥裔青年从青春期早期到晚期抑郁症状的轨迹，并探讨家庭观念价值观的三个方面（支持、义务和参照）的作用。
方法
墨西哥裔青少年（N=492）在 8 年的时间里，通过四次家庭访谈和自我报告，提供了抑郁症状和文化价值观的信息。采用队列序贯设计，并考虑到 246 个家庭（每个家庭有两个年轻人）的嵌套性，我们从 12 岁到 22 岁之间对抑郁症状进行了检测，并对家庭观念价值观的个体内、兄弟姐妹间和家庭间效应进行了检测。
结果
墨西哥裔男性的抑郁症状在整个青春期呈下降趋势，而女性的症状则呈三次曲线变化。结果表明，个体内和家庭间支持性和参照性家庭观念价值观的增加与较低的抑郁症状水平有关。参照性家庭观念价值观的作用最为显著，因为还出现了兄弟姐妹间的影响。义务性家庭观念价值观与抑郁症状无关。
结论
我们的研究结果提供了关于墨西哥裔青年抑郁症状的重要描述性信息，并强调了家庭观念价值观的促进作用。
