Parenting in place
Moving beyond the examination of ethnic-racial socialization within singular microsystems (e.g., residential neighborhoods), this study indicates that day-to-day ethnic-racial exposures encountered by Latina mothers may influence how mothers socialize their adolescent children around issues of ethnicity and race.

Breaking down silos and echo chambers
Research on adolescence occurs across a variety of disciplines, including education, psychology, sociology, public health, biology, and medicine, among other fields, each with its own definition of the most pressing problems, levels of analysis, and proposed solutions. There is widespread recognition that human development occurs across levels simultaneously from molecular changes to broader cultural systems. Yet it remains challenging to integra…
Pathways linking ethnic marginalization to Latino/a youth's academic success via depressive symptoms
Together we are stronger”
Latinx adolescents, representing 25% of the U.S. child population, face significant mental health challenges due to aggressive immigration enforcement and policies rooted in racism, nativism, and ethnocentrism. These systemic issues contribute to increased rates of sadness, hopelessness, and suicidal behaviors among Latinx adolescents. Addressing this crisis requires interventions that mitigate the harms of these policies and promote youth voice …
Longitudinal within- and between-person effects of school discrimination on U.S. Latino/a adolescents’ prosocial behaviors
Following a school-based community sample of U.S. Latino/a adolescents surveyed at seven time points from eighth to 11th grade, we examined within- and between-person effects of school adult discrimination on adolescent engagement in emotional, dire, and compliant forms of prosocial behaviors across semester and school transitions. Participants were 547 U.S. Latino/a adolescents ( M age = 13.70 years; 45% boys; 90% U.S. born) in suburban Atlanta,…
Familism values and psychological adjustment of Latinx adolescents in an emerging immigrant community
This study examined the relations between normative developmental changes of familism values and later internalizing and externalizing behaviors in Latinx adolescents from an emerging immigrant community. The sample included 547 Latinx adolescents (55.4% female; baseline M age = 12.80; SD = 1.03) residing in the Southeastern United States. Results from latent growth models indicated that higher initial levels of familism values (intercept) and sl…
Familism Values, Family Assistance, and Prosocial Behaviors Among U.S. Latinx Adolescents
Among U.S. Mexican adolescents living in established immigrant communities, high familism values are positively associated with compliant, emotional, and dire prosocial behaviors via sociocognitive and cultural psychological mechanisms. Less is known about the behavioral mechanisms that may explain these associations, or about prosocial behaviors among U.S. Latinxs residing in emerging immigrant destinations. We examined the cross-sectional, inte…
School racial‐ethnic discrimination, rule‐breaking behaviors and the mediating role of trauma among Latinx adolescents
Much of the literature linking adversity to trauma fails to account for racialized experiences, including racial‐ethnic discrimination, which is a highly prevalent form of adversity for youth of color in the U.S. Adversity and trauma often result in students experiencing elevated rule‐breaking behaviors, exacerbating existing racial‐ethnic disparities in disproportionate school discipline. Drawing from race‐based trauma theory, the present study …
Depressive Symptoms in Relation to Adverse Childhood Experiences, Discrimination, Hope, and Social Support in a Diverse Sample of College Students
BACKGROUND: Young adulthood is a critical transitory period, with various factors impacting mental health and longer-term health outcomes, particularly among racial/ethnic minorities. Drawing from minority stress theory, this study examined correlates of depressive symptoms, specifically adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), racial/ethnic discrimination, hope, social support, and their interactive effects, among a diverse sample of college studen…
Parental Warmth and Developmental Change in Familism Values
This study examined the developmental changes of familism values across adolescence among Latinx adolescents from an emerging immigrant community, and how changes in parental warmth were associated with changes in familism values. The sample included 547 Latinx adolescents. Multilevel model results indicated that familism values showed a linear decline from 6th to 10th grade. Between-person analyses showed that parental warmth was related to the …
The Mediating Role of Home–School Dissonance in Linking Maternal Discrimination to Latin American‐Origin Adolescent Academic Performance
Latin American-origin parents play an important role in supporting the formal education of their youth, but cultural, linguistic, and systemic barriers make parent involvement difficult. The aim of the present study was to examine how Latina mothers' experiences with discrimination were associated with short-term changes in their adolescent children's academic performance, directly and indirectly through mothers' appraisal of home-school dissonan…
A call for research on immigrant and refugee youth amidst the global rise in xenophobia and nationalism

“I am affected in all the ways … ”
Findings suggest Latinx families across residency statuses can be negatively affected by news of the adversities experienced by a subgroup. Service and healthcare providers, and educators must be prepared to support Latinx youth faced with fear, discrimination, and isolation arising from exposure to news on immigration actions.

Family strengths and Latinx youth externalizing behavior
In recent years, the federal administration has ramped up efforts to curb and enforce immigration laws, in essence redefining how immigration, particularly in the Latinx population, is viewed and dealt with in the United States. The aim of the present study was to examine Latinx family strengths in relation to youth externalizing behavior, considering the modifying impacts of the current anti-immigration environment. Data were drawn from a study …

Parenting processes and adolescent adjustment in immigrant Latino families
Family cohesion and parental monitoring promote Latino adolescents' positive adjustment. For Latino immigrant families, these parenting processes tend to be interdependent due to shared roots in cultural values emphasizing family togetherness and parental authority. This covariance poses a significant methodological problem with respect to multicollinearity. The present article uses a novel technique-residual centering-to remove shared variance a…
Longitudinal pathways to educational attainment for youth in Mexican and Central American immigrant families
Mexican and Central American-origin youth in immigrant families, the fastest growing segment of the K-12 school population, experience considerably worse educational outcomes than do youth from other Latino national origins and other racial and ethnic backgrounds. Socioeconomic factors, as well as length of U.S. residence, have important implications for youth's academic success. The present study uses longitudinal structural equation modeling te…

Understanding Links Between Punitive Parenting and Adolescent Adjustment
There is considerable debate regarding the extent to which punitive parenting adversely impacts youth well being. Using an ecological-transactional model of human development, we examined reciprocity and contextual variability in associations between maternal punitive discipline and adolescent adjustment among 1,147 low-income, urban youth followed through adolescence. Longitudinal SEM results indicated that delinquency and depressive symptoms du…

Levels of Processing
Although much research has addressed the “levels-of-processing” perspective, critics continue to attack this formulation. The lack of an operational definition is frequently cited as a shortcoming of the perspective. Utilizing resistance to interference as a perspective from which to investigate “deep” and shallow” processing, an experiment was conducted with two follow-up tests to ascertain the effects of proactive and retroactive interference i…
