Guided by Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems framework and informed by the rejection-identification model, this study examined the relationship between acculturation, discrimination, and ethnic-racial identity (ERI) searching and affirmation among a sample of Latino youths ( 830; mean age = 12.2 years). Results revealed that higher levels of acculturation were associated with lower levels of searching and affirmation. Furthermore, higher perceived discrimination was associated with higher affirmation, but unrelated to searching. Finally, perceived discrimination significantly attenuated the negative associations between acculturation and adolescents' ERI searching and affirmation. The article concludes with a discussion of practice implications.
本研究以布朗芬布伦纳的生态系统框架为指导,并依据拒绝-认同模型,考察了拉丁裔青少年样本(830人;平均年龄 = 12.2岁)中文化适应、歧视与族裔-种族认同(ERI)探索及认同之间的关系。结果显示,较高水平的文化适应与较低水平的探索及认同相关。此外,较高的感知歧视与较高的认同相关,但与探索无关。最后,感知歧视显著减弱了文化适应与青少年ERI探索及认同之间的负相关。文章最后讨论了实践意义。
