家庭功能模式的关系，亲社会行为，随着时间的推移，内化和外化症状进行了评估的样本中的经济困难的内城非洲裔美国人和墨西哥裔美国男性青少年。种族群体的差异配置的家庭功能随着时间的推移，亲社会和问题行为的水平，以及家庭功能的关系，风险被发现。在这两个种族群体中，异常运作的家庭提供了对风险的保护作用。总体而言，非裔美国青年对学校的态度和更高的教育愿望比墨西哥裔美国青年。与以前的调查不同，一旦社会经济地位被控制，两组之间的内化或外化问题没有差异。在评估少数民族养育子女和家庭功能时，考虑社会经济地位和社区背景的重要性进行了讨论。
The relations of patterns of family functioning, prosocial behaviors, and internalizing and externalizing symptoms over time were evaluated among a sample of economically disadvantaged inner-city African American and Mexican American male adolescents. Ethnic group differences for configurations of family functioning over time, levels of prosocial and problem behaviors, and relations of family functioning to risk were found. Among both ethnic groups, exceptionally functioning families provided a protective effect against risk. Overall, African American youth had stronger attitudes toward school and higher educational aspirations than Mexican American youth. Unlike previous investigations, once socioeconomic status was controlled, no differences were found for either internalizing or externalizing problems between the 2 groups. The importance of considering socioeconomic status and community context when evaluating minority parenting and family functioning is discussed.
