Drawing from cultural ecological and risk and resilience perspectives, we investigated associations among Mexican American college students' perceptions of mothers' and fathers' psychological control and familism values, and college students' adjustment (i.e., depressive symptoms and self-esteem). Additionally, we examined how familism values moderated the relations between perceived psychological control and college students' adjustment.
Participants were 186 Mexican American college students (78.5% women; Mage = 21.56 years), and data were collected using self-report online surveys.
Using path analyses, we found that perceived maternal psychological control was positively associated and familism values were negatively associated with college students' depressive symptoms. Additionally, perceived paternal psychological control was negatively associated with college students' self-esteem when college students reported low, but not high, familism values.
Findings highlight the importance of family relationships for Mexican American college students and the significance of examining these relationships within this cultural context. (PsycINFO Database Record
从文化生态以及风险与复原力的视角出发，我们调查了墨西哥裔美国大学生对母亲和父亲心理控制的认知、家庭主义价值观与大学生适应情况（即抑郁症状和自尊）之间的关联。此外，我们还考察了家庭主义价值观如何调节感知到的心理控制与大学生适应情况之间的关系。
研究对象为186名墨西哥裔美国大学生（78.5%为女性；平均年龄=21.56岁），数据通过在线自陈式调查收集。
通过路径分析，我们发现，感知到的母亲心理控制与大学生的抑郁症状呈正相关，而家庭主义价值观与大学生的抑郁症状呈负相关。此外，当大学生报告的家庭主义价值观较低而非较高时，感知到的父亲心理控制与大学生的自尊呈负相关。
研究结果凸显了家庭关系对墨西哥裔美国大学生的重要性，以及在这一文化背景下审视这些关系的意义。（《心理学文摘数据库记录》 ）
