Historical origins of the immigrant paradox for Mexican American students: The cultural integration hypothesis
Historical, Socio-Cultural, and Conceptual Issues to Consider When Researching Mexican American Children and Families, and other Latino Subgroups
In order for the field of psychology in the United States to maintain its relevance and validity, it must become more inclusive in its theory and research of Latinos, who are now the largest "minority" group in the nation. In particular, due to immigration and birth rates, Mexican Americans are the largest and fastest growing segment of the Latino population. This paper addresses some of the most significant historical and socio-cultural factors …
Speaking on Behalf of Others: A Qualitative Study of the Perceptions and Feelings of Adolescent Latina Language Brokers
Children of Latino immigrants are often called upon to interpret and mediate linguistic and cultural information for adults in a process termed language brokering. The present qualitative study examined the experiences of nine female first- and second-generation Latina adolescent language brokers. Results showed that mothers were the persons for whom participants translated the most. In addition, school-related issues were the most frequently rep…
Language Brokering, Autonomy, Parent-Child Bonding, Biculturalism, and Depression: A Study of Mexican American Adolescents From Immigrant Families
This study examines the relationship between language brokering, parent-child bonding, perceived autonomy, biculturalism, and depression for Mexican American adolescents. It was hypothesized that adolescent language brokers who reported a strong parent-child bond and high levels of psychological autonomy, privilege, and responsibility would also report lower levels of depression. Unlike previous research with language brokers, no gender differenc…
Child Care Practices and Preferences of Native- and Foreign-Born Latina Mothers and Euro-American Mothers
Using a telephone survey of 396 participants, the present study examined the child care practices and preferences of native- and foreign-born Latina mothers in two Southern California communities and compared them to Euro-American mothers. Results showed that native-born Latina mothers had more relatives available to provide child care, and that they relied more on relatives for their current child care arrangement than both foreign-born Latina m…
The Relationship of Language Brokering to Academic Performance, Biculturalism, and Self-Efficacy among Latino Adolescents
Children who interpret for their immigrant parents are referred to as language brokers. The present study examines the relationship of language brokering to academic performance, biculturalism, academic self-efficacy, and social self-efficacy. The many adultlike experiences of children who broker on a regular basis suggest that their cognitive and socioemotional development may be accelerated relative to children of immigrant families who broker …
Mexican American Family Functioning and Acculturation: A Family Systems Perspective
Acculturation, Respect for Cultural Differences, and Biculturalism Among Three Generations of Mexican American and Euro American School Children
In this study, we examined acculturation, respect for cultural differences, and biculturalism among first-, second-, and third-generation Mexican American and Euro American school children. Teachers' ratings of children's classroom behavior were used as measures of acculturation, respect for cultural differences, and biculturalism. Results showed first-generation children to be most integrated with the Mexican American culture and third-generatio…

Reinforcing Children's Effort: A Comparison of Immigrant, Native-Born Mexican American and Euro-American Mothers
The present study examined the role of success, failure, and effort in the reinforcement practices of immigrant, and nativeborn Mexican American mothers and compared them to a baseline group of middle-class Euro-American mothers. Mothers viewed a videotape depicting a seven-year-old male confederate either succeeding or failing on a novel task while displaying varying amounts of effort. Mothers also completed a subjective rating scale in order to…
Locus of Control Orientations of Anglo-and Mexican-American Children
Previous studies comparing the locus of control of Anglo-and Mexican-Americans have usually not controlled for large socioeconomic differences between these groups. Such studies have also tended to rely on single-method approaches of measuring Anglo-Mexican-American differences on this variable. The present study compared Anglo- and Mexican-American children of similar socioeconomic backgrounds on two locus of control scales. Analyses of variance…
Integration With Traditional Mexican-American Culture and Sociocultural Adjustment
The Relationship of Traditional Mexican American Culture to Adjustment and Delinquency among Three Generations of Mexican American Male Adolescents
The present study tested the hypothesis that integration with traditional Mexican American culture promotes healthy psychological adjustment and less juvenile delinquency. Predictions from Merton's theory of social structure and anomie were also tested. Generation was used as an index of cultural integration while disjunctions between educational aspirations and expectations were used to measure adjustment. Delinquency measures were obtained from…
Stereotypes of Mexican Descent Persons: Attitudes of Three Generations of Mexican Americans and Anglo-American Adolescents
Three generations of Mexican American adolescents and Anglo Americans rated persons of Mexican descent living in the United States in terms of both positive and negative stereotypes. In general, Anglo American subjects held significantly less favorable stereotypes of Mexican descent persons than any of the three Mexican American groups. However, a significant linear trend for both positive and negative group stereotypes indicated that with each s…
Cognitive Styles among Three Generations of Mexican American Children

In addition, a decline in sex differences vas expected to follow a similar pattern. A comparison group of Anglo American children was also included in the study. Results were not in line with the original hypotheses: Anglo American children were the most field independent and showed th…
