语言中介活动在移民家庭中经常发生，并可能对相关家庭成员的福祉产生重大影响。本研究旨在开发和验证一种可用于评估墨西哥裔美国青少年主观语言中介体验的多维度的测量方法。参与者是墨西哥裔美国家庭中的557名青少年语言经纪人(女性占54.2%，马格波1=12.96，SD=0.94)。使用探索性和验证性因素分析，我们能够确定语言中介的七个可靠的子量表：语言利益、社会情感利益、有效性、积极的亲子关系、父母依赖、消极情绪和中心性。阶乘不变性检验表明，这些子量表至少在不同时间和不同翻译经验之间表现出部分严格不变性，而且在大多数情况下，也表现出对青少年性别、出生地和翻译频率的部分严格不变性。因此，一般而言，分量表的平均值以及分量表与其他变量之间的关系可以在这些不同的场合和组中进行比较。标准相关效度检验表明，这些子量表与父母的热情和敌意、亲子疏远、青少年家庭义务、抑郁症状、韧性和生活意义同时存在和纵向相关。该量表具有较高的信度和效度，有助于更好地了解青少年与父母之间的语言中介体验，以及这些体验对青少年发展的影响。
Language brokering occurs frequently in immigrant families and can have significant implications for the well-being of family members involved. The present study aimed to develop and validate a measure that can be used to assess multiple dimensions of subjective language brokering experiences among Mexican American adolescents. Participants were 557 adolescent language brokers (54.2% female, Mage.wave1 =12.96, SD=.94) in Mexican American families. Using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, we were able to identify seven reliable subscales of language brokering: linguistic benefits, socio-emotional benefits, efficacy, positive parent-child relationships, parental dependence, negative feelings, and centrality. Tests of factorial invariance show that these subscales demonstrate, at minimum, partial strict invariance across time and across experiences of translating for mothers and fathers, and in most cases, also across adolescent gender, nativity, and translation frequency. Thus, in general, the means of the subscales and the relations among the subscales with other variables can be compared across these different occasions and groups. Tests of criterion-related validity demonstrated that these subscales correlated, concurrently and longitudinally, with parental warmth and hostility, parent-child alienation, adolescent family obligation, depressive symptoms, resilience, and life meaning. This reliable and valid subjective language brokering experiences scale will be helpful for gaining a better understanding of adolescents’ language brokering experiences with their mothers and fathers, and how such experiences may influence their development.
