Book The Relationship Between Acculturation Parenting Style and Parental Adherence to Traditional Cultural Values Among Padres Mexicanos

Download or read book The Relationship Between Acculturation Parenting Style and Parental Adherence to Traditional Cultural Values Among Padres Mexicanos written by Nayeli Yesenia Chavez Duenas and published by . 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.

Book Acculturation and Parent Child Relationships

Download or read book Acculturation and Parent Child Relationships written by Marc H. Bornstein and published by . This book was released on 2013-10-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although many researchers agree on a general definition of acculturation, the conceptualization and measurement of acculturation remain controversial. To address the issues, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) sponsored a conference that brought together scholars who work to define and develop assessments of acculturation, and who study the impact of acculturation on families. The goals of the conference were to evaluate both the status of acculturation as a scientific construct and the roles of acculturation in parenting and human development. The goal of this volume is to advance the state-of-the-art. Acculturation and Parent-Child Relationships: Measurement and Development is a must-read for researchers, students, and policymakers concerned with cultural factors that affect the lives of parents and children.

Download or read book Temperament in Context written by Theodore D. Wachs and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2001-03-01 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the importance of context has been emphasized by temperament researchers, until now there has been remarkably little systematic research on the unique role specific aspects of context play in the development and impact of temperament. The goal of this volume is to systematize current knowledge and theory on the role played by specific aspects of context in the etiology, expression, and influence of temperament, particularly for those aspects of temperament that are most likely to relate to later personality traits. Reflecting the editors' view that the interface between temperament and context is a bidirectional phenomenon, this volume focuses on two broad issues: 1) How does context moderate the expression, continuity, or consequences of individual differences in introversion-extraversion, sociability, emotionality, and inhibition (the I-ESEI family of traits)? 2) How do individual differences in the I-ESEI family of traits moderate the nature of characteristics of the individual's context? By bringing together outstanding international researchers who present their current research and theories, the editors systematize research contributions in the domain of contextual contributions to the I-ESIA family of traits and set the agenda for future research directions. Appropriate for use by scholars and practitioners in developmental science and family studies.

Book THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARENT S ACCULTURATION AND CHILDREN S DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS AMONG MEXICAN AMERICAN CHILDREN OF LOW SOCIO ECONOMIC STATUS

Download or read book THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARENT S ACCULTURATION AND CHILDREN S DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS AMONG MEXICAN AMERICAN CHILDREN OF LOW SOCIO ECONOMIC STATUS written by Marisela Escárcega and published by . 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.

Download or read book Parenting Matters written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.
