The current study investigates how and under what conditions family obligation benefits Mexican American adolescents' adjustment. The study used two waves of data from 604 Mexican American adolescents (54.3% female, Mage.wave1 = 12.41 years, = 0.97) and their parents. Structural equation modeling revealed that both adolescents' and parents' sense of family obligation related to more supportive parenting (i.e., parental monitoring, warmth, and inductive reasoning), which linked to better adolescent adjustment (i.e., sense of life meaning, resilience, and grades). There were parent gender differences: Adolescents' family obligation was more strongly related to their reports of maternal (vs. paternal) parenting. The links also varied across informants for parenting: (a) individuals' sense of family obligation related only to their own perceptions of parenting and (b) there were more evident associations between adolescent-reported (vs. parent-reported) parenting and adolescent outcomes.
当前的研究调查了家庭义务如何以及在何种条件下有益于墨西哥裔美国青少年的适应。该研究使用了来自604名墨西哥裔美国青少年(54.3%为女性,第一波数据时的平均年龄为12.41岁,标准差为0.97)及其父母的两波数据。结构方程模型显示,青少年和父母的家庭义务感都与更具支持性的养育方式(即父母监督、温暖和诱导推理)相关,而这又与更好的青少年适应情况(即生活意义感、复原力和成绩)相关。存在父母性别差异:青少年的家庭义务与其对母亲(而非父亲)养育方式的报告关联更强。这些联系在不同的养育方式报告者之间也有所不同:(a)个人的家庭义务感仅与他们自己对养育方式的看法相关,(b)青少年报告的(而非父母报告的)养育方式与青少年的结果之间的关联更为明显。
