Studies examining friendships among Mexican-American adolescents have largely focused on their potentially negative influence. The current study examined the extent to which deviant and achievement-oriented friend affiliations are associated with Mexican-American adolescents' school adjustment and also tested whether support from friends and parents moderates these associations. High school students (N = 412; 49 % male) completed questionnaires and daily diaries; primary caregivers also completed a questionnaire. Although results revealed few direct associations between friend affiliations and school adjustment, several moderations emerged. In general, the influence of friends' affiliation was strongest when support from friends was high and parental support was low. The findings suggest that only examining links between friend affiliations and school outcomes does not fully capture how friends promote or hinder school adjustment.
研究墨西哥裔美国青少年之间友谊的研究主要集中在其潜在的负面影响上。当前的研究考察了越轨型和成就导向型的朋友关系在多大程度上与墨西哥裔美国青少年的学校适应相关，并且还测试了朋友和父母的支持是否会调节这些关系。高中生（N = 412；49%为男性）完成了问卷和每日日记；主要照顾者也完成了一份问卷。尽管结果显示朋友关系与学校适应之间几乎没有直接关联，但出现了几种调节作用。总体而言，当朋友的支持较高而父母的支持较低时，朋友关系的影响最为强烈。研究结果表明，仅考察朋友关系与学校成果之间的联系并不能完全捕捉到朋友如何促进或阻碍学校适应。
