Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Family conflict, particularly acculturation conflict, has been identified as a significant risk factor for immigrant youth, increasing the likelihood of depression, lower self-esteem, conduct problems, and poor academic performance in Latino and Asian American adolescents and young adults (e.g., Bahrassa, Syed, Su, & Lee, 2011; Dennis, Basañez, & Farahmand, 2010; Formoso, Gonzales, & Aiken, 2000; Gonzales, Deardorff, Formoso, Barr, & Barrera, 2006; Juang, Syed, & Takagi, 2007). Despite this, there is limited empirical work that addresses the mechanisms by which acculturation conflict impacts psychological well-being in Latino youth. The goal of this dissertation was to examine the mechanisms that underlie the negative effects of acculturation conflict with parents, on an adolescent's depressive symptoms and self-esteem. In this current study, participants included 140 Latino adolescents (Mage = 12.88; SD = .70; 51% girls). The majority of youth were from Mexican-origin families (81%). Using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), results indicated that parent-adolescent acculturation conflict predicted greater depressive symptoms, lower self-esteem, lower relationship satisfaction with mothers and fathers, and a lower ethnic private regard. Additionally, ethnic private regard served as a partial mediating mechanism linking acculturation conflict to self-esteem, such that, acculturation conflict predicted a lower ethnic private regard, which in turn, predicted lower self-esteem. Discussion focuses on research and clinical implications for working with Latino families living in an emerging Latino community."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

Book Synopsis Parental Acculturation, Family Functioning, and Preventive Intervention Outcome Among Hispanic Youth and Their Families by :

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.
Book Synopsis Socioeconomic Status, Acculturation, Family Characteristics, and Health Behaviors by : Alisha D. Howarter
Download or read book Socioeconomic Status, Acculturation, Family Characteristics, and Health Behaviors written by Alisha D. Howarter and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research shows that socioeconomic status (SES) can impact adolescent use of alcohol and smoking. These relationships may be mediated by stress, psychosocial reserves, and negative emotions. I explored these relationships using the Reserve Capacity Model (RCM) as a theoretical foundation. The RCM suggests that individuals of low social status experience stress and must tap into tangible, intrapersonal, and interpersonal resources, often leaving these reserves depleted. Low reserves, in turn, predict the experience of negative emotions which can result in poor health outcomes. The RCM was later revised to integrate cultural constructs that can serve as stressors and resources (e.g., familism, which prioritizes the role of the family as a supportive network). The purpose of this study was to test the RCM using culturally relevant variables as mediators of relationships between SES, alcohol use, and smoking in a sample of Hispanic American adolescents. I predicted that low SES would positively predict stress (e.g., perceived discrimination and acculturative stress). Stress, then, would be negatively related to reserve capacity (i.e., familism, family cohesion, and fatalism), which, in turn, would negatively predict symptoms of depression. Then, depressive symptoms would be positively related to alcohol use and smoking. A sample of 1,386 Hispanic American adolescents completed self-report measures of these constructs across three school years. Counter to my hypotheses, baseline SES was unrelated to smoking and alcohol use at year three (controlling for baseline levels). Mediation hypotheses were partially supported. Results showed baseline SES predicted increased levels of perceived discrimination at year two, which, in turn, was significantly related to decreased familism and family cohesion also at year two. Family cohesion was significantly related to symptoms of depression at year two, which, in turn, predicted increased use of alcohol and smoking behaviors at year three. Findings suggest that low SES is associated with perceived discrimination, which negatively affects family functioning. In turn, challenges in the family seem to affect distress symptoms, which, in turn, predict alcohol use and smoking. Results imply that interventions designed to address adolescent perceptions of discrimination, or family cohesion, may positively impact rates of smoking and alcohol use among adolescents.

Book Synopsis The Relationship Between Acculturation and Depression in Latina Teens by : Serenity Sersecion
Download or read book The Relationship Between Acculturation and Depression in Latina Teens written by Serenity Sersecion and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lifetime prevalence of major depressive disorder and dysthymia among teens and adults is 8.3% (n=14974). Teens throughout the US are more likely to experience a major depressive disorder when compared to adults (10.4% vs. 9.4%)(Kessler et al., 2010). Latinos may me at higher risk of mental health problems due to additional stressors such as low socioeconomic status (SES), limited access to services, and cultural stigma towards mental health services (Rossello, & Bernal, 1999). Latinos who have a high rate of acculturation are at greater risk of developing depressive symptoms. This may be due to highly acculturated families having less of an emphasis on familismo which is a cultural value focusing on respecting and helping others in the family (Padilla et al., 2011). American born Latino teens may have a higher rate of acculturation than their parents which has been shown to be related to increased family conflict and lower family support (Chun, & Akutsu, 2003). This dynamic puts Latino teens at an increased risk of developing depressive symptoms (Chun, & Akutsu, 2003; Santisteban, & Mitrani, 2003). This study examined data from 43 Latina teens in 11th and 12th grade to determine the relationship between level of acculturation and diagnosis of a major depressive episode, minor depression, and current symptoms of depression. There were no significant relationships found between acculturation, depressive symptoms, and current and past depression diagnoses. Over half of the sample (58.2%) reported a depression diagnosis at baseline and almost one third (27.9%) reported a depression diagnosis at follow-up indicating that a high number of Latina teens were experiencing depression at the clinical level. Thus, suggesting that participants in the sample would benefit from culturally competent services to address their mental health needs. The limited significant findings in this study may be due to the small sample size and the low acculturation level of the participants. Future research needs to be done with a large and more diverse sample in terms of acculturation levels in order for findings to be generalizable to other Latina teens.

Book Synopsis Latino Children and Families in the United States by : Josefina M. Contreras
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.

Book Synopsis The Influence of Cultural Adaptation on Depressive Symptoms Among Young Hispanic Immigrants by : Jeremiah W. Jaggers
Download or read book The Influence of Cultural Adaptation on Depressive Symptoms Among Young Hispanic Immigrants written by Jeremiah W. Jaggers and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines how cultural adaptation and family cohesion impact depressive symptoms in Hispanic immigrants that migrated to the U.S. by the age of 17. Using the National Latino and Asian American Study, a recursive regression was conducted on a hypothesized model demonstrating the relationship among the study variables: acculturation, acculturative stress, subjective social status, discrimination, ethnic social identity, dissonant acculturation, family cohesion and depressive symptoms. Psychosocial contextual variables are also included in the analysis and include gender, age, years in the U.S., education, income, and ethnicity. Results revealed two important themes in the data. The first is the importance of family in the adaptation process. As hypothesized, dissonant acculturation leads to the development of depressive symptoms. Additional findings concluded that family cohesion moderated the effect of dissonant acculturation. The second theme revealed in the data was the risk posed by acculturative stress in the adaptation process. Acculturative stress contributes directly to dissonant acculturation and to depressive symptoms.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The goal of this study is to explore the relationship between a parent-child acculturation gap and both depression and self-esteem in adolescent children of Mexican immigrant parents. Using linear regression models, I tested the impact of the acculturation gap on adolescent self-esteem, then on adolescent depression. Next, I used a mediation analysis to test the indirect impact of the acculturation gap on self-esteem and depression through intergenerational conflict. Further, I used a mediation analysis to test the effect of the acculturation gap on both self-esteem and depression through conflict and family cohesion simultaneously. Finally, I tested the same constructs in a moderated mediation analysis using the Griffen formula, which specifically measures relational ambivalence (the presence of both simultaneous positive and negative relationship characteristics). I then compared the results of all mediation analyses to determine which model accounted for the greatest variance in the two outcomes. Findings suggested that while the presence of intergenerational conflict significantly strengthened the impact of an intergenerational acculturation gap on depression, the addition of family cohesion-signaling ambivalence-was not more predictive of depression than conflict alone. On the other hand, results indicated that while conflict alone did not predict lower self-esteem in adolescents, the presence of ambivalence did have a significant negative impact on self-esteem."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.
