Ethnic socialisation plays a vital role in the development of ethnic minority adolescents. However, the generalizability of research findings beyond the context of immigrant societies in the United States remains unclear.
Utilising a person-centred approach, this study analysed a sample of 2,600 ethnic minority adolescents in China (55.8% female, Mage = 14.93 ± 1.82) to explore ethnic socialisation patterns, and their correlations with depression.
Latent profile analysis revealed four distinct ethnic socialisation profiles: low-frequency, moderate-frequency, high-frequency and proactive integration orientation. Adolescents with the high-frequency profile displayed the highest levels of depression, followed by those with the moderate-frequency profile, whereas adolescents with the low-frequency and proactive integration orientation profiles showed a lower risk of depression.
Within the sociocultural context of China, ethnic minority families' ethnic socialisation practices demonstrate unique characteristics. Various ethnic socialisation messages are integrated in diverse patterns to exert influence on adolescents.
民族社会化在少数民族青少年的发展中起着至关重要的作用。然而，在美国移民社会以外的环境中，研究结果的普遍性尚不清楚。
本研究采用以个体为中心的方法，对中国 2600 名少数民族青少年（55.8%为女性，Mage=14.93±1.82）进行了分析，以探讨民族社会化模式及其与抑郁的相关性。
潜在剖面分析揭示了四种不同的民族社会化模式：低频、中频、高频和积极主动的融合取向。具有高频模式的青少年表现出最高水平的抑郁，其次是中频模式的青少年，而低频和积极主动的融合取向模式的青少年表现出较低的抑郁风险。
在中国的社会文化背景下，少数民族家庭的民族社会化实践具有独特的特征。各种民族社会化信息以不同的模式整合在一起，对青少年产生影响。
