Latin American-origin parents play an important role in supporting the formal education of their youth, but cultural, linguistic, and systemic barriers make parent involvement difficult. The aim of the present study was to examine how Latina mothers' experiences with discrimination were associated with short-term changes in their adolescent children's academic performance, directly and indirectly through mothers' appraisal of home-school dissonance. Data were drawn from an ongoing longitudinal study of 547 mother-youth dyads in suburban Atlanta. Results showed a significant indirect relationship between mothers' experiences of discrimination and declines in adolescents' grade point average by way of increased home-school dissonance. Thus, Latina mothers' discriminatory experiences may have spillover effects on adolescent academic achievement through increasing proximal barriers to parent involvement.
拉美裔父母在支持子女的正规教育方面发挥着重要作用，但文化、语言和制度障碍使得家长的参与变得困难。本研究旨在探讨拉美裔母亲的歧视经历如何通过母亲对家校失调的评价，直接或间接地与青少年子女的学业成绩短期变化相关。数据来自亚特兰大郊区一个正在进行的 547 个母子纵向研究。结果显示，母亲歧视经历与青少年平均绩点下降之间存在显著的间接关系，其途径是家校失调的增加。因此，拉美裔母亲的歧视经历可能会通过增加父母参与的近端障碍，对青少年的学业成绩产生溢出效应。
