This study examined whether Mexican-American parents' experiences with discrimination are related to adolescent psychological adjustment over time. The extent to which associations between parent discrimination and adolescent adjustment vary as a function of parents' ethnic socialization of their children was also examined. Participants included 344 high school students from Mexican or Mexican-American backgrounds (primarily second generation; ages 14-16 at Wave 1) and their primary caregivers who completed surveys in a 2-year longitudinal study. Results revealed that parent discrimination predicted internalizing symptoms and self-esteem among adolescents 1 year later. Additionally, adolescents were more likely to report low self-esteem in relation to parents' increased experiences of discrimination when parents conveyed ethnic socialization messages to them.
本研究探讨了墨西哥裔美国父母的歧视经历是否会随着时间的推移与青少年的心理调适相关。同时还研究了父母歧视与青少年调适之间的关联程度如何因父母对子女的种族社会化作用而有所不同。研究参与者包括344名来自墨西哥或墨西哥裔美国背景的高中生（主要是第二代；在第一轮调查时年龄为14 - 16岁）以及他们的主要照顾者，这些参与者在一项为期两年的纵向研究中完成了调查。结果显示，父母的歧视行为在一年后可预测青少年的内化症状和自尊水平。此外，当父母向青少年传达种族社会化信息时，青少年更有可能因父母遭受更多歧视经历而报告低自尊水平。
