当前的研究结合情境期望值和家庭系统理论，测试了拉丁裔青少年在九年级与父母和年长的兄弟姐妹/表兄弟姐妹进行的与学校相关的科学对话在多大程度上积极预测了他们十年级的科学能力自我概念和任务价值观。我们还测试了这些链接是否由主要发起对话的人（即青少年、家庭成员或两者）主持。我们使用了来自 104 个拉丁裔家庭的两波、多位记者调查数据，这些家庭由父母、年长的兄弟姐妹/表兄弟姐妹和青少年组成（89% 墨西哥后裔，40% 女性；法师= 14.53 岁）。家长与青少年学校相关的科学对话预测了青少年十年级科学能力的自我概念，部分支持了我们的假设。此外，当父母比青少年更频繁地发起对话时，父母与青少年的对话与科学能力自我概念和任务价值观之间的联系是积极且显着的。在兄弟姐妹/表兄弟姐妹与学校相关的科学对话中也发现了类似但较弱的关联。这些发现强调了家庭成员与拉丁裔青少年发起与学校相关的科学对话的积极益处。
Integrating situated expectancy-value and family systems theories, the current study tested the extent to which Latinx adolescents’ 9th-grade school-related science conversations with parents and older siblings/cousins positively predicted their 10th-grade science ability self-concepts and task values. We also tested whether these links were moderated by who primarily initiated the conversations (i.e., adolescents, family members, or both). We used two-wave, multi-reporter survey data from 104 Latinx families, consisting of triads of parents, older siblings/cousins, and adolescents (89% Mexican-descent, 40% female;Mage= 14.53 years). Partially supporting our hypotheses, parent-adolescent school-related science conversations predicted adolescents’ 10th-grade science ability self-concepts. Moreover, the links between parent-adolescent conversations and science ability self-concepts and task values were positive and significant when parents more frequently initiated conversations than adolescents. Similar but weaker associations were found for sibling/cousin-adolescent school-related science conversations. These findings underscore the motivational benefits of family members initiating school-related science conversations with Latinx adolescents.
