Despite being portrayed as model minorities, Chinese American adolescents still face challenges of discrimination. Using data from 444 Chinese American adolescents (M = 13.04, 54% female), this study examined the independent and joint influence of individual cultural characteristics (adolescents' acculturation and enculturation) and contextual factors (parental discrimination experiences, neighborhood disadvantage, and ethnic concentration) on Chinese American adolescents' perception of discrimination experiences. Results showed that acculturation was associated with fewer discrimination experiences; yet, higher levels of neighborhood disadvantage were related to more youth discrimination. Mothers' discrimination experiences were associated with adolescents' discrimination experiences when adolescents retained more of their Chinese culture. The findings of the study highlight the importance of considering the interplay between contextual and individual factors in influencing adolescents' development.
尽管被描绘为模范少数族裔,美籍华裔青少年仍然面临歧视的挑战。本研究使用了 444 名美籍华裔青少年(M=13.04,54%为女性)的数据,探讨了个体文化特征(青少年的文化适应和社会化)和情境因素(父母的歧视经历、邻里劣势和族裔集中)对美籍华裔青少年歧视经历的独立和联合影响。结果表明,文化适应与较少的歧视经历有关;然而,更高水平的邻里劣势与更多的青年歧视有关。当青少年保留更多的中国文化时,母亲的歧视经历与青少年的歧视经历有关。该研究的结果强调了考虑情境和个体因素相互作用对青少年发展的重要性。
