Parent-child Acculturation Gaps, Family Conflict, and Child Psychological Distress in Mexican Immigrant Families
Author: Ramon T. FloresPublisher:
ISBN: 9781339163680
Category : Mexican American children
Languages : en
Pages : 118
Book Description
Abstract: The acculturation gap-distress hypothesis posits that discrepancies in cultural preferences and values among parents and their children in immigrant families lead to family conflict, further giving rise to child psychological distress. Studies examining this hypothesis have not independently examined parent-child gaps in specific acculturation domains among Mexican immigrant families. The main purpose of this study was to cross-sectionally examine whether parent-child acculturation gaps in the domains of language, cultural behaviors, cultural identification, and cultural values in the American culture and Mexican culture are associated with more family conflict and greater child psychological distress in Mexican immigrant families. The sample consisted of 84 Mexican/Mexican-American identified undergraduate students. Path analysis results indicated that larger parent-child acculturation gap in Mexican cultural values was associated with more family conflict; in turn, more family conflict was associated with greater child psychological distress. This study's findings may help better understand the complex and diverse functions of acculturation gaps in Mexican immigrant families.

Ramirez reviews the assessment of the bilingual proficiency of Mexican American pupils. Edward A. De Avila, Sharon E. Duncan, Daniel M. Ulibarri, and James S. Fleming examine the issues related to predicting the academic success of language minority students from developmental, cognitive style, linguistic and teacher perception measures. Olivia N. Saracho discusses the relationship of teachers' cognitive styles and ethnicity to predictions of academic success and achievement of Mexican American and Anglo American students. The cognitive correlates of bicultural achievement motivation are discussed by Tracy C. Gray. Evie McClintock, Mariluise Prieto Bayard, and Charles G. McClintock examine the socialization of social motivation in Mexican American families. Spencer Kagan discusses social orientation among Mexican American children which provides a challenge to traditional classroom structures.
