墨西哥裔美国青年经常从事相对较高水平的亲社会行为。我们推测，这可能是由于一种鼓励家庭主义价值观的文化价值体系，这反过来可能会促进促进亲社会行为的社会认知过程的发展。205名墨西哥裔美国青少年(年龄10.9岁，SD=0.84；51%的女孩)报告了他们的家庭主义价值观、视角选择、亲社会道德推理和六种亲社会行为。结果表明，观点采择部分中介了家庭主义价值观与理论上与墨西哥裔美国人文化相关的特定亲社会倾向之间的关系。这项研究展示了整合文化和传统发展机制在试图解释亲社会行为方面的效用。
Mexican American youth often engage in relatively high levels of prosocial behaviors. We theorize that this may be due to a cultural value system that encourages familism values, which, in turn, may foster the development of sociocognitive processes that promote prosocial behaviors. Two hundred and five Mexican American early adolescent youth (M-age=10.9years, SD=0.84; 51% girls) reported their familism values, perspective taking, prosocial moral reasoning, and six types of prosocial behaviors. The results indicated that perspective taking partially mediated the relation between familism values and the specific prosocial tendencies theoretically linked to the Mexican American culture. The study demonstrated the utility of integrating cultural and traditional developmental mechanisms in attempting to explain prosocial behaviors.
