Among U.S. Mexican adolescents living in established immigrant communities, high familism values are positively associated with compliant, emotional, and dire prosocial behaviors via sociocognitive and cultural psychological mechanisms. Less is known about the behavioral mechanisms that may explain these associations, or about prosocial behaviors among U.S. Latinxs residing in emerging immigrant destinations. We examined the cross-sectional, intervening variable associations among familism values, family assistance behaviors, and culturally salient prosocial behaviors among 547 U.S. Latinx adolescents residing in an emerging immigrant destination ( age = 12.8 years; 55.4% girls). Familism values and family assistance behaviors promoted emotional and dire prosocial behaviors for boys and girls, and promoted compliant prosocial behaviors for boys only. Familism also had direct associations with all three prosocial behaviors for boys and girls. Family assistance behaviors may be a mechanism via which adolescents develop compliant, emotional, and dire prosocial behaviors.
在居住在成熟移民社区的美国墨西哥裔青少年中，高度的家族主义价值观通过社会认知和文化心理机制与顺从、情感和极端亲社会行为呈正相关。对于可能解释这些关联的行为机制，或者居住在新兴移民目的地的美国拉丁裔中的亲社会行为，我们了解得较少。我们研究了547名居住在新兴移民目的地的美国拉丁裔青少年（年龄 = 12.8岁；55.4%为女孩）的家族主义价值观、家庭协助行为和具有文化显著性的亲社会行为之间的横断面中介变量关联。家族主义价值观和家庭协助行为促进了男孩和女孩的情感和极端亲社会行为，仅促进了男孩的顺从亲社会行为。家族主义也与男孩和女孩的所有三种亲社会行为直接相关。家庭协助行为可能是青少年发展顺从、情感和极端亲社会行为的一种机制。
