Ongoing exposure to social stressors is widely believed to undermine the health of Hispanic immigrant families. The current work aims to explore and interpret expressions of familismo as a framework through which postimmigration experiences are interpreted and potentially given meaning.
Qualitative data were obtained from 16 focus groups in California and Massachusetts (N = 93). Fifty-two percent of the participants identified as male and 59% primarily spoke Spanish.
Analyses revealed 3 distinct forms of ambivalence specific to familismo among Hispanic adults from immigrant families. Give and take described experiences wherein immigrants turn their backs on family in the short term to realize a better long-term future for the family. Negative change explained family misfortunes that arise in the pursuit of a better future for the family and creates doubts about the vision that motivated migration. Forced shifts suggests the navigation of daily life necessitates the inversion or abandonment of culturally idealized family roles and responsibilities.

人们普遍认为，持续暴露于社会压力源会损害西班牙裔移民家庭的健康。当前的研究旨在探索和解读家庭主义的表达方式，将其作为一种框架，通过该框架来解读移民后的经历并赋予其潜在意义。
从加利福尼亚州和马萨诸塞州的16个焦点小组（N = 93）中获取定性数据。52%的参与者为男性，59%主要讲西班牙语。
分析揭示了来自移民家庭的西班牙裔成年人中，家庭主义特有的3种不同形式的矛盾心理。“给予与索取”描述了这样的经历，即移民短期内背离家庭，以实现家庭更美好的长期未来。“负面变化”解释了在为家庭追求更美好未来的过程中出现的家庭不幸，并对促使移民的愿景产生怀疑。“被迫转变”表明，日常生活中的应对需要颠倒或放弃文化上理想化的家庭角色和责任。
