本研究旨在探讨家庭对青少年文化适应、族群认同及心理功能的影响。180名美国出生的亚裔印度青少年和他们的移民父母完成了问卷调查，评估他们的文化适应，种族认同和家庭冲突。青少年还完成了焦虑和自尊的措施。结果表明，父母和青少年的自我认同和民族认同均呈正相关，分离型和边缘型的父母比融合型和同化型的父母报告了更高的家庭冲突。青少年报告更高的自尊，更少的焦虑，和更少的家庭冲突时，他们和他们的父母之间没有文化差异。研究结果表明，父母如何与他们的纳塔尔，以及东道国，文化有直接影响青少年的种族认同的成就和他们的心理功能。
This study examined the influence of the family on adolescents' acculturation, ethnic identity achievement, and psychological functioning. One hundred eighty American-born Asian Indian adolescents and one of their immigrant parents completed questionnaires assessing their acculturation, ethnic identity, and family conflict. Adolescents also completed anxiety and self-esteem measures. The results showed that parents' and adolescents' ratings of their self-identification and ethnic identity were positively associated, Parents who had a separated or marginalized style of acculturation reported higher family conflict than those who had an integrated or assimilated acculturation style. Adolescents reported higher self-esteem, less anxiety, and less family conflict when there was no acculturation gap between them and their parents. The findings suggest that how parents relate to their natal, as well as to the host, culture has direct effects on adolescents' ethnic identity achievement and their psychological functioning.
