The role of maternal warmth in understanding the relations between cultural orientations and prosocial behaviors in U.S. Mexican college students
Correlates of Latina college students' dyadic coping with sisters
Perceived discrimination and Latina college students' depressive symptoms
Latinx young adults' experiences of discrimination are associated with high levels of depressive symptoms and examining protective factors that buffer the negative consequences of discrimination is important. In a sample of 195 Latina college students, predominately of Mexican origin, we examined associations between perceived discrimination and depressive symptoms, and how sisters' dyadic coping behaviors and familism values moderated this assoc…
Mexican-Origin College Students' Stress, Sibling Relationships, Academic Motivation, and Depressive Symptoms
The current study investigated associations among interpersonal, academic, financial, and ethnicity-related stressors and college students' academic motivation and depressive symptoms, as well as the moderating role of positive sibling relationships on these associations. Participants included 171 Mexican-origin college students (80.7% female; M = 21.6 years). Data were collected using an online survey and analyzed with path analysis. Under condi…
Adolescents’ Beliefs about Math Ability and Their Relations to STEM Career Attainment
Communication Frequency and Types of Supportive Messages
The current study examined communication between Mexican-origin college students ( n = 84) and their parents and the supportive messages that students received. Students attend a Hispanic Serving Institution in central Texas. Most students (96.4%) communicated weekly with parents. Females communicated more with their mothers. Relationship quality was positively related to communication with fathers. Parents’ supportive messages targeted character…
Family Members’ Relationship Qualities and Prosocial Behaviors in U.S. Mexican Young Adults
Scholars have asserted that family relationships may have a prominent role in fostering prosocial behaviors. However, there is limited research on the quality of relationships with fathers and siblings in predicting prosocial behaviors, particularly in U.S. Mexican samples. Furthermore, culture-related mechanisms are rarely considered in examining these relations. The present study examines the associations between family relationship quality and…
Who Helps Build Mexican-Origin Female College Students’ Self-Efficacy? The Role of Important Others in Student Success
The present study examined interrelations among sociocultural factors, communication, and academic support from mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, professors, romantic partners, and close friends and Mexican-origin female college students’ ( n = 205) college self-efficacy. Findings revealed that students communicated the most with their close friends and perceived that mothers provided the most academic support. In general, students who espouse…
Mexican American College Students’ Perceived Experiences of Discrimination, Ethnic Identity, and Adjustment
Given the salience of sibling relationships for Mexican American individuals, we examined the role of sibling support in the associations between discrimination, ethnic identity (EI), and the adjustment of Mexican American college students ( N = 171, 80.7% female, M age = 21.6 years). Findings revealed that under conditions of high sibling support, discrimination was positively associated with EI resolution, which, in turn, was positively associa…
Mexican American college students’ perceptions of youth success
Mexican American emerging adults' relationships with siblings and dimensions of familism values
We used a person‐oriented approach to describe the profiles of Mexican American emerging adults' relationships with siblings using affective/behavioral qualities (e.g., positivity) and relationship maintenance strategies (e.g., communication frequency) and to examine how profiles of sibling relationships were related to dimensions of Mexican American emerging adults' familism values. Using data from 186 Mexican American emerging adults ( M age = …
Perceived parental psychological control, familism values, and Mexican American college students’ adjustment
Findings highlight the importance of family relationships for Mexican American college students and the significance of examining these relationships within this cultural context. (PsycINFO Database Record
The Longitudinal Relation Between Academic Support and Latino Adolescents’ Academic Motivation
This study examined whether longitudinal trajectories of academic support from mothers, fathers, and teachers predicted trajectories of Latino adolescents’ ( N = 323) academic motivation. Findings indicated those boys’ perceptions of mothers’ and fathers’ academic support and girls’ perceptions of mothers’ academic support declined throughout high school. Furthermore, girls’ academic motivation increased significantly over time. Although neither …
Latino Adolescents’ Academic Motivation
Guided by an ecological perspective, two competing models were tested to examine how sibling relationship quality directly predicted or interacted with academic support from siblings to predict Latino adolescents’ academic motivation ( N = 258). Gender differences were examined utilizing multiple group analysis in structural equation modeling. Findings indicated that academic support from siblings was a significant predictor of both boys’ and gir…
The Central Role of Familial Ethnic Socialization in Latino Adolescents' Cultural Orientation
The current study utilized an ecological framework to examine the longitudinal interrelations among Latino adolescents' (N = 323) cultural orientation (i.e., ethnic identity and enculturation), familial ethnic socialization experiences, and generational status. Findings indicated that ethnic identity and enculturation were both predicted by adolescents' generational status, although some of these relations were indirect via the relation between g…
Latino adolescents' academic success
Guided by the academic resilience perspective, the current longitudinal study examined whether academic motivation mediated the relation between Latino adolescents' ( N = 221) experiences with discrimination and their academic success. The potential moderating role of gender was also examined. Using multiple group analysis in structural equation modeling, findings indicated that perceived discrimination at Wave 2 significantly predicted academic …
