This book was released on 2008 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the current study was threefold. First, this study examined the relationships among acculturation, parenting style, and adherence to traditional Latino cultural values including: familism, personalismo, compadrazgo, marianismo, and machismo in a sample of Mexican-descent parents residing in the United States. Second, associations among traditional Latino parenting values: obediencia, respeto, and simpatía, and acculturation were analyzed. Finally, statistical analyses were conducted to analyze the internal consistency of a measure designed to assess respeto, obediencia, and simpatía among Mexican parents. Fifty seven interviews were conducted with parents of Mexican descent in two locations, one in an urban area and one in a rural town. Results indicated that parents who were more familiar and engaged in practices of the Mexican culture were more likely have higher scores on the scale assessing authoritarian parenting style and less likely to endorse items on the permissive parenting style scale. Moreover, parents who reported higher monthly income per capita had higher scores on the permissive parenting style scale. Permissive parenting style was predicted by socioeconomic status and adherence to the US American culture. However, neither socioeconomic status nor acculturation to the Anglo culture predicted levels of authoritative and authoritarian parenting styles. Results also suggested that parents with lower levels of acculturation endorsed higher levels of personalismo . On the other hand, parents who were more oriented toward the Mexican culture were more likely to report practicing compadrazgo and to obtain higher scores on the scale assessing personalismo . Finally, the internal consistency of the three subscales of the Respeto Obediencia and Simpatía Assessment Scale (ROSAS) for Latino parents was supported by the results of the present study. Implications for future research and for counselors working with parents and children of Mexican descent are discussed.
Download or read book Latino Children and Families in the United States written by Josefina M. Contreras and published by Praeger. This book was released on 2002-09-30 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Latino population in the United States continues to grow and now represents 12% of the population. Yet, remarkably little attention has been paid to understanding parenting and child development processes among Latino families. Although research on Latino parenting is beginning to emerge, the field is in need of further structure and direction. This volume addresses this need and advances the field both by presenting state-of-the-art research on Latino parenting and also by proposing conceptual and methodological frameworks that can provide the field with further integration and direction. In addition to presenting innovative research examining parental beliefs and practices of Latino families from different socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds, authors provide frameworks for identifying the origins of these beliefs and practices, and provide a rich picture of both the values that can be considered Latino and the social and demographic normative and at-risk Latino samples. Finally, methodological and conceptual recommendations for future research on each cited area, as well as the field, are presented.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Substance use and externalizing disorders are major public health concerns among Hispanic adolescents. While there is a need for prevention interventions that interrupt the sequelae of behavioral health problems in this population, few are available that account for cultural considerations. Level of acculturation is an important cultural factor to consider in the development and delivery of preventive interventions and has been shown to have strong associations with youth outcomes. However, while previous studies have examined youth acculturation, much less is known regarding the role of parental acculturation, particularly as it relates to preventive interventions. Familias Unidas (United Familias) is a Hispanic-specific, preventive intervention shown to reduce/prevent substance use and externalizing disorders through improvements in family functioning among Hispanic adolescents. The purpose of this dissertation was to investigate whether the positive effects of Familias Unidas on a latent family functioning construct comprised of five indicators varied as a function of parental acculturation. Secondary data analyses were conducted with a total of 213 Hispanic 8th grade students and their caregivers. Berry's model of acculturation and the Bicultural Involvement Questionnaire were used to create four parental acculturation orientations: bicultural, assimilated, separated and marginalized. Structural equation modeling was used to test whether parental acculturation orientation moderated the relationship between Familias Unidas and family functioning and consequently adolescent substance use and externalizing disorders. The results of these analyses indicated that parental acculturation did not have any moderating effects on family functioning. Post-hoc analyses in which each family functioning indicator was individually modeled revealed the same pattern of findings, i.e., no interaction effects. Possible reasons for these results are discussed along with study limitations and future recommendations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many parents fear the time when their beautiful happy children will become unmanageable adolescents continually engaging in risky or destructive behaviour. Unfortunately, this view of adolescents is the focus of the media, even though it relates to just a small proportion of young people. As the large amount of research we report shows, most adolescents are responsible young people who care about their families and crave the support of their parents. It is also true, however, as much research indicates, that the quality of the relationship parents have with their adolescents is crucial to the wellbeing of those young people. We discuss the need for parents to set reasonable limits on their adolescents and to expect appropriate behavior. We also show, on the basis of research, that children who have experienced positive, caring relationships with their parents are more likely than other adolescents to behave responsibly. In other words, behavior in adolescence does not ‘come out of nowhere’ but builds on earlier experiences in the family. Because of the large amount of research reported in this volume, we expect that it will be useful to practitioners from a range of professions that are likely to focus on adolescents: social workers, youth leaders, welfare workers, religious leaders, psychologists and psychiatrists and contribute to a better understanding of young people and their development, and the importance of families to that development.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the equivocal results on the role that acculturation plays in the depressive symptoms among children and adolescents, and the limited research on Mexican American youth in general, the purpose of this study is to examine the relationship of parent's acculturation and their children's depressive symptoms among Mexican-American of low socio-economic status. This study followed Rodriguez's (2007) methodological recommendations to use a strong methodological design, and use an orthogonal acculturation measurement. The study selected a stratified random sample of 198 students, selecting equal numbers of males and females, and equal subjects from grades 3rd through 5th. Subjects were selected from three elementary schools located in a low socio-economic school district in the Southwestern United States. Parents of the selected students were asked to complete a demographic form, the Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican Americans-II (Cuellar, Arnold, and Maldonado, 1995), and the Internalizing subscales of the Child Behavior Checklist for Ages 6-18 (CBCL/6-18; Achenbach and Rescorla, 2001). The study found no significant relationship between parent's acculturation and children's depressive symptoms. The study was limited by high attrition among the sample, a frequent characteristic of low socio-economic populations.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hispanics are the largest and fastest growing ethnic minority group in the U.S. Research has found that Hispanic children are at increased risk for mental health problems even when compared to other ethnic minority groups. Therefore, it is important to identify risk factors specific to Hispanic children and families in order inform intervention. Of particular interest for prevention and early intervention are factors involved in young Hispanic children's social-emotional functioning, such as parental acculturation level and parenting behaviors. However, research that examines the impact of acculturation and parenting behaviors on the social-emotional functioning of young Hispanic children is limited. There were two main goals for this study. The first was to determine the relationships between pairs of study variable: child gender, parental acculturation level, parenting behaviors, and children's social-emotional functioning (internalizing and externalizing problems). The second goal of the study was to examine the extent to which linear combinations of child gender, parental acculturation (low, bicultural, high), and parenting behaviors (nurturance, expectations, and discipline) predicted in-school internalizing and externalizing behaviors. Participants included 90 four-year-old preschoolers of Hispanic background from an urban public school district in central New Jersey. Correlation, multiple regression, and hierarchical multiple regression analyses were used to determine the relationships among these constructs and to identify the variables that predict internalizing and externalizing behaviors for this sample. Findings suggest that as parents of Hispanic preschool children become more acculturated to the U.S. culture, their children's externalizing behaviors increase. Hispanic preschool girls, in particular, are at greater risk for oppositional behaviors and anger problems if their parents are bicultural or highly acculturated. Implications for early intervention and prevention, as well as future research directions, are discussed.

Book excerpt: The parenting style, level of acculturation and incidence of stress, were explored in order to identify the likelihood of intervention by child protective services to prevent child abuse. Additionally, concerns of whether reports of child abuse were related more to the lack of information about American parenting rules, rather than intentionally abusive behavior.

Download or read book Family Obligation Parenting and Adolescent Outcomes Among Mexican American Families written by Jinjin Yan and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family obligation is considered a generally promotive factor in the development of Mexican American adolescents. However, most prior studies have focused on only adolescents’ sense of family obligation. The impact of parents’ sense of family obligation on adolescent outcomes is less often considered. Moreover, the mechanism through which a sense of family obligation links to adolescent outcomes in Mexican American families still remains unknown. Thus, the current study utilizes data from a two-wave longitudinal study to investigate the mediating role of parenting practices in the association between both parents’ and adolescents’ sense of family obligation and adolescent outcomes. Participants were 604 Mexican American adolescents (54.3% female, M [subscript age.wave1] = 12.41 years, SD = .97) and their parents residing in Central Texas. Results revealed that parents with a greater sense of family obligation reported more positive parenting practices and adolescents with a stronger sense of family obligation perceived more supportive parenting practices. Supportive parenting practices were found to be significant mediators in the longitudinal connections through which both adolescents’ and parents’ sense of family obligation related to subsequent adolescent outcomes. 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. These findings will provide significant implications for future interventions and policies for promoting adolescent outcomes by shaping both parents’ and adolescents’ perceptions of more supportive parenting practices in Mexican American families
Download or read book The Relationship Between Parent child Acculturation and Enculturation Family Functioning and Problem Behavior Among a Sample of Latino Youth written by Blanca Luz Orellana-Roldán and published by ProQuest. This book was released on 2007 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of children experiencing behavior problems within the schools is increasing at alarming rates. Although research has contributed significantly to further understanding the development of conduct or behavioral problems, it has been somewhat limited in its investigation of culture related factors pertaining to Latino students. It has been suggested that the processes of acculturation may contribute to the development of behavior problems among Latino youth. This link is most often attributed to discrepancies in parent-child acculturation levels that result when children acculturate at a faster rate than their parents, leading to increased family conflict, parent-child alienation, and youth maladjustment. The purpose of the current study was to extend this research by examining the link between both acculturation and enculturation to problem behavior and testing specific family processes as mediators in a sample of 199 Latino youth and their families. The results supported a mediational model and indicated that family supervision, but not family conflict, played a significant mediational role in children's problem behavior. In addition, while acculturation was not related to any of the cultural or behavioral variables, findings support the potential protective function of child enculturation on the development of problem behavior. The implications of these findings are discussed, as well as limitations of the study and directions for future research.

Book excerpt: With Latinos comprising the largest ethnic minority group in the United States (Census, 2006) and immigration as a constant at a rise, it is more critical than ever to consider the impact of cultural values and explore the distinctive nature of parenting in Latino families. The purpose of this project is to develop a psychoeducational and process group tailored for first and second generation Latino parents of adolescents. The provided curriculum is written for future facilitators as a step-by-step guide for implementation of a parent-adolescent group, yet it still provides room for flexibility and modification if necessary. This group will increase parental understanding of adolescent development based on Erikson's developmental stages, review the impact of parenting styles and attachment, teach effective communication skills, and explore how culture plays a major role in parenting. The adolescents will be involved in certain groups where they will learn skills side by side with their parents in efforts to strengthen the parent-child relationship. Overall, participation in this group will provide parents and adolescents with education on new methods of communicating, thus improving the parent-adolescent relationship.
