Immigration stress and maternal sensitivity in a Mexican immigrant sample
The present study contributes to our understanding of the sequelae of immigration stress in Mexican immigrant mothers and the cultural resiliency factors that may alter its effects. In contrast to hypotheses, findings suggested that mothers who endorse more immigration stress may also exhibit higher RSA, and links may be more pronounced among those with strong familism values. Further research is needed to advance understanding of resiliency proc…
Family First? The Costs and Benefits of Family Centrality for Adolescents with High-Conflict Families
Filling Gaps in the Acculturation Gap-Distress Model
Mexican-Origin Youth Participation in Extracurricular Activities
Mexican American adolescents’ family obligation values and behaviors
Family obligation is an important aspect of family relationships among families from Mexican backgrounds and can have significant implications for adolescents' well-being. Prior research and theory regarding youths' obligations offer conflicting hypotheses about whether it is detrimental or beneficial for adolescents' well-being. In the current longitudinal study, we used a daily diary method among 428 Mexican American adolescents and their paren…
Family Obligation Values and Family Assistance Behaviors
Family and Neighborhood Fit or Misfit and the Adaptation of Mexican Americans
In this study, a person‐environment fit model was used to understand the independent and combined roles of family and neighborhood characteristics on the adjustment of adults and children in a sample of 750 Mexican American families. Latent class analysis was used to identify six qualitatively distinct family types and three quantitatively distinct neighborhood types using socioeconomic and cultural indicators at each level. The results showed th…
Adolescent Temperament Moderates the Relation of Parenting to Antisocial Behavior and Substance Use
Although some studies have found that parental support and control are related negatively to adolescent problem behaviors, little research has examined factors that may qualify the magnitude of those relations. The present study tests whether adolescent temperament moderates the relations of parenting to antisocial behavior and substance use within a community sample (N = 631). The joint and unique contributions of parenting and temperament in th…
An Ecological Model of Externalizing Behaviors in African-American Adolescents
This study examined the utility of a two-step ecological model in predicting externalizing behavior among African-American seventh and eighth graders. It was predicted that the exosystem variables of parental work environment and parental social support would have an indirect impact on externalizing by influencing the microsystem variables of parental warmth, parental use of restrictive control, and conflict within the family. Path analysis indic…
Adolescent problem behavior
Examined the effect of peer problem behavior, the absence of a father or equivalent in the home, and the mother‐adolescent relationship as predictors of adolescent problem behavior in a sample of 112 African American adolescents. Statistical analyses compared a moderator model to a mediational model and a cumulative risk model. As predicted, the moderator model was superior to the alternative models. Specifically, whereas the mediational model pr…
