Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immigrant children and youth are the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. population, and so their prospects bear heavily on the well-being of the country. Children of Immigrants represents some of the very best and most extensive research efforts to date on the circumstances, health, and development of children in immigrant families and the delivery of health and social services to these children and their families. This book presents new, detailed analyses of more than a dozen existing datasets that constitute a large share of the national system for monitoring the health and well-being of the U.S. population. Prior to these new analyses, few of these datasets had been used to assess the circumstances of children in immigrant families. The analyses enormously expand the available knowledge about the physical and mental health status and risk behaviors, educational experiences and outcomes, and socioeconomic and demographic circumstances of first- and second-generation immigrant children, compared with children with U.S.-born parents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past several decades, the demographic populations of many countries such as Canada as well as the United States have greatly transformed. Most striking is the influx of recent immigrant families into North America. As children lead the way for a 'new' North America, this group of children and youth is not a singular homogenous group but rather, a mosaic and diverse ethnic, racial, and cultural group. Thus, our current understanding of 'normative development' (covering social, psychological, cognitive, language, academic, and behavioral development), which has been generally based on middle-class Euro-American children, may not necessarily be 'optimal' development for all children. Researchers are widely recognizing that the theoretical frameworks and models of child development lack the sociocultural and ethnic sensitivities to the ways in which developmental processes operate in an ecological context. As researchers progress and develop promising forms of methodological innovation to further our understanding of immigrant children, little effort has been placed to collectively organize a group of scholarly work in a coherent manner. Some researchers who examine ethnic minority children tended to have ethnocentric notions of normative development. Thus, some ethnic minority groups are understood within a 'deficit model' with a limited scope of topics of interest. Moreover, few researchers have specifically investigated the acculturation process for children and the implications for cultural socialization of children by ethnic group. This book represents a group of leading scholars' cutting-edge research which will not only move our understanding forward but also to open up new possibilities for research, providing innovative methodologies in examining this complex and dynamic group. Immigrant Children: Change, Adaptation, and Cultural Transformation will also take the research lead in guiding our current knowledge of how development is influenced by a variety of sociocultural factors, placing future research in a better position to probe inherent principles of child development. In sum, this book will provide readers with a richer and more comprehensive approach of how researchers, social service providers, and social policymakers can examine children and immigration.

Book excerpt: Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between self-esteem and American acculturation on the young adult outcomes of a sample of children of U.S. immigrants, and also investigate the changes of acculturation in their adolescence. Methods: This study uses publicly available data from Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study (CILS) (N=1,454). This study utilizes the independent variables of self-esteem and acculturation and young adult outcomes as the dependent variable. Results: Results indicated that higher self-esteem is correlated with lower income satisfaction. The members of the sample who indicated an assimilationist acculturation style had higher income and income satisfaction, and acculturation was found to increase within the sample throughout adolescence. Discussion and Implications: English fluency propels the sample through higher levels of education but does not directly benefit their economic outcomes. Rather than taking up government resources, immigrant families are key contributors to the U.S. economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Self-esteem is known to have positive associations with people's mental health and problem behaviors of adolescents. Religiosity is also often reported to have positive influence on mental health and behaviors of adolescents. If so, self-esteem and religiosity could be expected to have positive influences on immigrant adolescents who struggle with additional issues brought up by the acculturation process. Thus, this study reviewed the literature to examine what influences self-esteem and religiosity have on immigrant adolescents and in what ways. /p/ Two demographic factors turned out to have significant associations with self-esteem during adolescence. Boys tended to show higher scores in self-esteem than girls did. African American adolescents and Latinos displayed higher self-esteem, while Asian Americans marked the lowest level of self-esteem. Other factors included body satisfaction, problem behaviors, parent-child relations, social support, depression, and academic achievement. /p/ Religiosity was related to less involvement in risk behaviors, substance use, and mental problems. However, it was not significantly related to sexual activity factors. It is also noteworthy that while religiosity was related to mental health, the relationship between religiosity and self-esteem was different by the factors of religiosity. Although it was not causal, frequency of church service attendance and involvement in youth activities were positively associated with self-esteem. However, it was hard to see a relationship between the importance of religion factor and self-esteem. /p/ Immigrant adolescents often experienced hard times due to discrimination, peer relationships, pressure from academic achievement, and conflict with their parents. The influence of religiosity was found in two aspects. Religious involvement has direct and indirect influences on the lives of adolescents. Being a member of the religious community and faith in God provided behavioral guidance for immigrant adolescents, and being a Christian affected developing their self-identity and purpose of life. Besides, the local ethnic church provided social support for immigrant adolescents who relatively received lack of social support from their parents compared to non-immigrant adolescents. /p/ To help immigrant adolescents develop healthy self-esteem and so live a better life, a few ministry practices are recommended for the ethnic church and its youth workers and parents of immigrant adolescents.

Book excerpt: This widely adopted text synthesizes an extensive body of research on Asian American personality development, identity, and mental health. Uba focuses on how ethnocultural factors interact with minority group status to shape the experiences of members of diverse Asian American groups. Cultural values and norms shared by many Asian Americans are examined and common sources of stress described, including racial discrimination and immigrant and refugee experiences. Rates of mental health problems in Asian American communities are reviewed, as are predictors and manifestations of specific disorders. The volume also explores patterns in usage of available mental health services and considers ways that service delivery models might be adapted to better meet the needs of Asian American clients.
Download or read book Ethnicities written by Rubén G. Rumbaut and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2001-09-10 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributors to this volume probe systematically and in depth the adaptation patterns and trajectories of concrete ethnic groups. They provide a close look at this rising second generation by focusing on youth of diverse national origins—Mexican, Cuban, Nicaraguan, Filipino, Vietnamese, Haitian, Jamaican and other West Indian—coming of age in immigrant families on both coasts of the United States. Their analyses draw on the Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study, the largest research project of its kind to date. Ethnicities demonstrates that, while some of the ethnic groups being created by the new immigration are in a clear upward path, moving into society's mainstream in record time, others are headed toward a path of blocked aspirations and downward mobility. The book concludes with an essay summarizing the main findings, discussing their implications, and identifying specific lessons for theory and policy.
