Despite the profound impact that intrafamilial stressors, including parent - adolescent acculturation discrepancies, may have on Latino adolescent behavioral and mental health, this line of research remains underdeveloped. The purpose of this study is to obtain rich descriptions from Latino adolescents of the most salient intrafamilial stressors. The authors employ focus group methodology with a grounded theory approach. A total of 25 focus groups were conducted with 170 Latino adolescents in the Northeast and Southwest United States. Findings indicate that Latino adolescents experience significant stressors related to parent - adolescent acculturation discrepancies. From this qualitative study the authors derive a series of testable hypotheses aimed at fully understanding the role of parent - adolescent acculturation discrepancies on Latino adolescent behavioral and mental health and informing the development of culturally responsive preventive interventions for this population.
尽管包括父母与青少年文化适应差异在内的家庭内部压力源可能对拉丁裔青少年的行为和心理健康产生深远影响，但这一研究领域仍未得到充分发展。本研究的目的是从拉丁裔青少年那里获得对最突出的家庭内部压力源的丰富描述。作者采用焦点小组方法并结合扎根理论方法。在美国东北部和西南部，对170名拉丁裔青少年进行了总共25个焦点小组访谈。研究结果表明，拉丁裔青少年经历了与父母与青少年文化适应差异相关的重大压力源。通过这项定性研究，作者得出了一系列可检验的假设，旨在全面了解父母与青少年文化适应差异对拉丁裔青少年行为和心理健康的作用，并为针对这一人群制定具有文化适应性的预防干预措施提供依据。
