Neighborhood Latino ethnic concentration, above and beyond or in combination with mothers' and fathers' ethnic socialization, may have beneficial implications for minority adolescents' ethnic attitude and identity development. These hypotheses, along with two competing hypotheses, were tested prospectively (from x¯age = 12.79-15.83 years) in a sample of 733 Mexican-origin adolescents. Neighborhood ethnic concentration had beneficial implications for ethnic identity processes (i.e., ethnic exploration and perceived peer discrimination) but not for ethnic attitudes. For Mexico-born adolescents, high maternal ethnic socialization compensated for living in neighborhoods low on ethnic concentration. Findings are discussed vis-à-vis the ways in which they address major gaps in the neighborhood effects literature and the ethnic and racial identity development literature.
邻里拉丁裔族群聚居程度，不仅独立于而且与父母的族群社会化共同作用，可能对少数族裔青少年的族群态度和身份认同发展具有积极影响。这些假说，以及另外两种竞争性假说，在一个由 733 名墨西哥裔青少年组成的样本中进行了前瞻性测试（平均年龄为 12.79-15.83 岁）。邻里族群聚居程度对族群认同过程（即族群探索和感知到的同伴歧视）具有积极影响，但对族群态度没有影响。对于出生于墨西哥的青少年来说，较高的母族社会化程度可以弥补居住在族群聚居程度较低的邻里环境的不足。研究结果讨论了它们在多大程度上解决了邻里效应文献和族群及种族身份认同发展文献中的主要差距。
