文化适应战略，一个不同的组合的遗产和主流文化的方向和青年发展的重要决定因素之一，已与亚裔美国青年，特别是在一个特定的亚组水平研究不足。本研究采用以人为本的潜在特征分析（LPA），以确定文化适应策略亚型之间的菲律宾裔美国人和韩裔美国青少年生活在中西部。亚型之间的关联和许多相关因素，包括人口统计学，家庭过程和青年的结果也进行了检查。利用大规模调查数据（N=1580; 379名菲律宾裔美国青年和377名父母，410名韩裔美国青年和414名父母;青年的M-AGE =15.01），研究发现菲律宾裔美国青年的三种文化适应亚型：具有种族认同的高度同化、具有最强种族认同的融合双文化和具有最强种族认同的适度双文化;韩裔美国青年的三种文化适应亚型：分离、融合的双文化和具有强烈种族认同的温和的双文化。菲律宾裔美国人和韩裔美国人的青年都表现出沉浸在东道国文化中，同时保留了强烈的传统身份。虽然双文化策略似乎最有利，但结果因性别和种族而异，例如，融合了两种文化的菲律宾裔美国人，包括更多的女孩，可能在学校表现良好，但心理健康状况不佳的风险。韩裔美国人的分离，包括更多的男孩，表现出一个小的，但在家庭过程中的重大风险和物质使用行为，值得深入研究。研究结果加深了对亚裔美国青年异质文化适应策略的理解，并为未来的研究提供了启示。
Acculturation strategy, a varying combination of heritage and mainstream cultural orientations and one of the significant determinants of youth development, has been understudied with Asian American youth and particularly at a subgroup-specific level. This study used person-oriented latent profile analysis (LPA) to identify acculturation strategy subtypes among Filipino American and Korean American adolescents living in the Midwest. Associations between the subtypes and numerous correlates including demographics, family process and youth outcomes were also examined. Using large scale survey data (N=1580; 379 Filipino American youth and 377 parents, and 410 Korean American youth and 414 parents; M-AGE of youth=15.01), the study found three acculturation subtypes for Filipino American youth: High Assimilation with Ethnic Identity, Integrated Bicultural with Strongest Ethnic Identity, and Modest Bicultural with Strong Ethnic Identity; and three acculturation subtypes for Korean American youth: Separation, Integrated Bicultural, and Modest Bicultural with Strong Ethnic Identity. Both Filipino American and Korean American youth exhibited immersion in the host culture while retaining a strong heritage identity. Although bicultural strategies appear most favorable, the results varied by gender and ethnicity, e.g., integrated bicultural Filipino Americans, comprised of more girls, might do well at school but were at risk of poor mental health. Korean American separation, comprised of more boys, demonstrated a small but significant risk in family process and substance use behaviors that merits in-depth examination. The findings deepen the understanding of heterogeneous acculturation strategies among Asian American youth and provide implications for future research.
