Adolescent hope can promote the emotional and behavioral well-being of Latinx families. Positive family functioning may foster adolescent hope, whereas cultural stress may compromise adolescent hope and well-being. We examined how adolescent hope changed over time, and whether cultural stress and family functioning predicted emotional and behavioral health via adolescent hope intercept and slope. Recent Latinx immigrant adolescents (M = 14.51) and parents (M = 41.09; N = 302; n = 150 from Los Angeles; n = 152 from Miami) completed measures of above constructs over 3 years (Summer 2010 to Spring 2013). Latent growth curve modeling indicated that adolescent hope increased over time. Higher cultural stress predicted lower initial hope. Higher family functioning predicted higher initial levels of and less steep increase in hope. Increase in hope predicted better emotional and behavioral health. Family functioning predicted better health outcomes by way of hope.
青少年希望可以促进拉丁裔美国家庭的情感和行为健康。积极的家庭功能可以培养青少年的希望，而文化压力可能会影响青少年的希望和幸福感。我们研究了青少年希望如何随时间变化，以及文化压力和家庭功能是否通过青少年希望的截距和斜率来预测情感和行为健康。最近的拉丁裔移民青少年（M = 14.51）和父母（M = 41.09；N = 302；n = 150 名来自洛杉矶；n = 152 名来自迈阿密）在 3 年内（2010 年夏季至 2013 年春季）完成了以上结构的测量。潜在增长曲线模型表明，青少年的希望随着时间的推移而增加。较高的文化压力预示着较低的初始希望。较高的家庭功能预示着较高的初始希望水平和希望的增长幅度较小。希望的增加预示着更好的情感和行为健康。家庭功能通过希望来预测更好的健康结果。
