According to ecodevelopmental and social learning models, Latino immigrant parents experience considerable stress associated with the immigration process, and such immigration-related stress is theorized to influence behavioral outcomes among their youth. Using a three-year longitudinal design among 217 Latino immigrant families in western Oregon, we assessed whether parents' (94% mothers, M = 36.2 years) experience of immigration-related stress influenced the trajectory of their adolescents' (43% female, M = 13.4 years) externalizing behaviors. Controlling for covariates (gender, acculturation, age at migration, and gender), results showed that youth exhibited a normative downward trajectory for externalizing behaviors, and parents' experience of immigration stress significantly and negatively predicted this trajectory. Findings suggest that parents' experience of immigration stress may disrupt a normative trajectory of declining externalizing behaviors among Latino immigrant adolescents.
根据生态发展和社会学习模型，拉丁裔移民父母经历了与移民过程相关的巨大压力，并且这种与移民相关的压力被认为会影响他们子女的行为结果。我们在俄勒冈州西部的217个拉丁裔移民家庭中采用了为期三年的纵向设计，评估了父母（94%为母亲，平均年龄36.2岁）的移民相关压力经历是否会影响青少年（43%为女性，平均年龄13.4岁）外化行为的轨迹。在控制了协变量（性别、文化适应、移民年龄和性别）后，结果显示青少年的外化行为呈现出正常的下降轨迹，并且父母的移民压力经历对这一轨迹有显著的负向预测作用。研究结果表明，父母的移民压力经历可能会扰乱拉丁裔移民青少年外化行为下降的正常轨迹。
