This 2½-year, 5-wave longitudinal study tests the hypothesis that acculturation discrepancies between Hispanic immigrant parents and adolescents would lead to compromised family functioning, which would then lead to problematic adolescent outcomes. Recent-immigrant Hispanic parent-adolescent dyads ( = 302) completed measures of acculturation and family functioning. Adolescents completed measures of positive youth development, depressive symptoms, problem behavior, and substance use. Results indicated that Time 1 discrepancies in Hispanic-culture retention, and linear trajectories in some of these discrepancies, negatively predicted adolescent positive youth development, and positively predicted adolescent depressive symptoms and binge drinking, indirectly through adolescent-reported family functioning. The vast majority of effects were mediated rather than direct, supporting the acculturation discrepancy hypothesis. Implications for further research and intervention are discussed.
这项为期2.5年的5波纵向研究检验了以下假设：西班牙裔移民父母与青少年之间的文化适应差异会导致家庭功能受损，进而导致青少年出现问题行为。近期移民的西班牙裔亲子二元组（n = 302）完成了文化适应和家庭功能的测量。青少年完成了积极青少年发展、抑郁症状、问题行为和物质使用的测量。结果表明，第1阶段西班牙裔文化保留方面的差异，以及其中一些差异的线性轨迹，通过青少年报告的家庭功能，对青少年积极青少年发展产生负向预测作用，对青少年抑郁症状和暴饮产生正向预测作用。绝大多数影响是间接介导的而非直接的，这支持了文化适应差异假说。文中讨论了对进一步研究和干预的启示。
