According to acculturative family distancing theory, adolescents' perceptions of cultural incongruencies with parents can diminish the quality of parent-adolescent relationships and, as a result, harm adolescent adjustment. Using four time points of data for a sample of 547 diverse Latino/a/x adolescents, this study examined how parent-adolescent relationship quality and acculturative family distancing were associated with changes in adolescent school performance and internalizing symptoms. At baseline, the school-based sample ranged from 11- to 14-years-old ( = 12.78) and included slightly more females (55%) than males (45%). Cross-lagged structural equation model results indicated that adolescent reports of greater acculturative family distancing were associated with adolescent perceived increases in parent-adolescent conflict and decreases in parental support. Conflict mediated associations between acculturative family distancing and decreased school performance. Associations between parent-child relationship qualities and Latino/a/x adolescent adjustment were bidirectional.
根据文化适应家庭距离理论，青少年对与父母文化不一致的认知会降低亲子关系的质量，进而损害青少年的适应能力。本研究以547名不同背景的拉丁裔青少年为样本，利用四个时间点的数据，考察了亲子关系质量和文化适应家庭距离与青少年学业成绩变化和内化症状之间的关联。在基线时，该学校样本年龄在11至14岁之间（平均年龄 = 12.78岁），女性（55%）略多于男性（45%）。交叉滞后结构方程模型结果表明，青少年报告的文化适应家庭距离越大，其感知到的亲子冲突增加、父母支持减少。冲突介导了文化适应家庭距离与学业成绩下降之间的关联。亲子关系质量与拉丁裔青少年适应能力之间的关联是双向的。
