189 名墨西哥裔七年级青少年的样本报告了他们的药物使用情况，而其中一名孩子的父母则报告了父母对孩子的文化适应和沟通、参与以及积极的养育方式。父母文化适应程度越高，则预示着女孩会更多地使用大麻，而父母的沟通则预示着女孩中香烟和大麻的使用量会减少。父母沟通互动对吸烟的显着影响是由于父母沟通与文化程度高的父母吸食大麻呈高度负相关，而文化程度低的父母的影响则减弱。研究发现，父母积极的养育互动对儿童性别的影响非常显着。对于女孩来说，积极的养育方式与文化程度高的父母减少吸烟的关系更强。对于男孩来说，积极的养育方式与文化程度较低的父母减少吸烟有更强的关联。讨论的重点是文化适应和性别如何影响墨西哥裔青少年的家庭进程。
A sample of 189 Mexican-heritage seventh grade adolescents reported their substance use, while one of the child’s parents reported parent’s acculturation and communication, involvement, and positive parenting with his or her child. Higher levels of parental acculturation predicted greater marijuana use, whereas parent communication predicted lower cigarette and marijuana use among girls. A significant parent acculturation by parent communication interaction for cigarette use was due to parent communication being highly negatively associated with marijuana use for high acculturated parents, with attenuated effects for low acculturated parents. A significant child gender by parent acculturation by parent positive parenting interaction was found. For girls, positive parenting had a stronger association with lower cigarette use for high acculturated parents. For boys, positive parenting had a stronger association with reduced cigarette use for low acculturated parents. Discussion focuses on how acculturation and gender impact family processes among Mexican-heritage adolescents.
