This study examined the relationship between familism and depressive symptoms across relational contexts in adolescence, and whether maternal warmth and support, and school support moderated the relationship between familism and depressive symptoms.
A total of 180 Latino adolescents (53% female) in 7th through 10th grades (average age = 14 years) participated in this cross-sectional study. The adolescents lived in an emerging Latino community in a rural area in the U.S. South. Most of the adolescents were Mexican-origin (78%) and born in the United States (60%), while the vast majority of their parents were foreign born (95%).
Overall, familism was associated with fewer adolescent depressive symptoms. School support moderated the relationship between familism and adolescent depressive symptoms such that familism's protective effect was only evident when adolescents reported low levels of school support. In the context of average to high school support, adolescents reported low depressive symptoms regardless of familism. However, maternal warmth and support failed to moderate the relationship.
Familism may be most protective for adolescents not feeling supported at school, suggesting that these values may offset the risk of a risky school environment. (PsycINFO Database Record
本研究考察了青少年在不同关系背景下家庭主义与抑郁症状之间的关系，以及母亲的温暖与支持和学校支持是否调节了家庭主义与抑郁症状之间的关系。
共有180名7至10年级的拉丁裔青少年（53%为女性）参与了这项横断面研究。这些青少年生活在美国南部农村一个新兴的拉丁裔社区。大多数青少年是墨西哥裔（78%）且出生在美国（60%），而他们的父母绝大多数是外国出生（95%）。
总体而言，家庭主义与青少年较少的抑郁症状相关。学校支持调节了家庭主义与青少年抑郁症状之间的关系，以至于只有当青少年报告学校支持水平较低时，家庭主义的保护作用才明显。在学校支持处于平均水平到高水平的情况下，无论家庭主义如何，青少年报告的抑郁症状都较低。然而，母亲的温暖与支持未能调节这种关系。
家庭主义可能对那些在学校感觉得不到支持的青少年最具保护作用，这表明这些价值观可能抵消有风险的学校环境带来的风险。（《心理学文摘数据库记录》
