Patterns of parent-adolescent conflict differ between immigrant and nonimmigrant families living in the United States (Fuligni, 1998). Despite this, there is limited empirical literature examining the nuanced nature of parent-adolescent conflict in immigrant families. To fill this gap, the current study examined the role of 2 types of conflict (i.e., general and acculturation) in predicting psychosocial outcomes (i.e., depressive symptoms and ethnic identity) among Latino adolescents, and whether these relationships differ within the context of peer discrimination.
All survey administration was completed in the participating school's cafeteria. The sample consisted of 7th through 10th graders (n = 172) with a mean age of 14.01 years (SD = 1.32.) The sample consisted of 53% females, and was primarily Mexican in origin (78%).
As hypothesized, parent-adolescent acculturation conflict uniquely predicted greater depressive symptoms and lower ethnic private regard, even when controlling for parent-adolescent general conflict. However, acculturation conflict predicted lower ethnic private regard only in the presence of greater peer discrimination. More specifically, peer discrimination moderated the relation between acculturation conflict and ethnic private regard such that adolescents who reported the highest levels of acculturation conflict and peer discrimination reported the lowest levels of ethnic private regard.
These results suggest that for Latino youth and their families, acculturation conflict may be particularly problematic, as compared with general conflict. In addition, youth who face ethnicity-based stressors in both familial and school contexts are especially at risk in their ethnic identity development. (PsycINFO Database Record
在美国生活的移民家庭和非移民家庭中，亲子冲突模式存在差异（富利尼，1998年）。尽管如此，研究移民家庭中亲子冲突细微本质的实证文献有限。为填补这一空白，本研究考察了两种冲突类型（即一般冲突和文化适应冲突）在预测拉丁裔青少年心理社会结果（即抑郁症状和族群认同）方面的作用，以及这些关系在同伴歧视背景下是否存在差异。
所有调查管理工作均在参与学校的自助餐厅完成。样本包括7至10年级学生（n = 172），平均年龄为14.01岁（标准差 = 1.32）。样本中53%为女性，主要来自墨西哥（78%）。
如假设所示，即使在控制了亲子一般冲突的情况下，亲子文化适应冲突仍能独特地预测更高的抑郁症状和更低的族群内隐自尊。然而，文化适应冲突仅在存在更大程度同伴歧视的情况下才会预测更低的族群内隐自尊。更具体地说，同伴歧视调节了文化适应冲突与族群内隐自尊之间的关系，即报告文化适应冲突和同伴歧视水平最高的青少年，其族群内隐自尊水平最低。
这些结果表明，对于拉丁裔青少年及其家庭而言，与一般冲突相比，文化适应冲突可能尤其成问题。此外，在家庭和学校环境中都面临基于种族的压力源的青少年，在其族群认同发展方面尤其面临风险。（《心理学文摘数据库记录》
