墨西哥裔家庭是美国人口中一个庞大且快速增长的子群体，但他们在家庭奖学金中的代表性仍然不足。本文介绍了四篇关于墨西哥裔家庭的论文中的一个特别部分，旨在促进文化、家庭和性别社会化过程如何在这种文化背景下的关键发展时期和生活转变中展开的研究。两项墨西哥裔家庭的纵向研究为这四篇论文提供了数据：(a) Juntos项目，对246个墨西哥裔家庭的母亲、父亲和青少年兄弟姐妹进行了8年的纵向研究；(b)支持MAMI项目，这是一项对204名少女母亲及其母亲从怀孕晚期到幼儿5岁的研究。在这篇介绍性论文中，我们强调了四个主题，包括(a)不同的文化适应和互惠的社会化，(b)家庭中的相互依存，(c)文化和性别的交集，以及(d)方法问题。最后对未来的研究提出了建议。
Mexican‐origin families are a large and rapidly increasing subgroup of the U.S. population, but they remain underrepresented in family scholarship. This paper introduces a special section of four papers on Mexican‐origin families designed to contribute to the advancement of research on how cultural, family, and gender socialization processes unfold across key developmental periods and life transitions in this cultural context. Two longitudinal studies of Mexican‐origin families provided the data for these four papers: (a)The Juntos Project, an 8‐year longitudinal study of mothers, fathers, and adolescent sibling pairs in 246 Mexican‐origin families; and (b)The Supporting MAMI Project, a study following 204 adolescent mothers and their mother figures from the third trimester of pregnancy through their young children's 5th birthdays. In this introductory paper, we highlight four themes, including (a) differential acculturation and reciprocal socialization, (b) interdependence in families, (c) the intersection of culture and gender, and (d) methodological issues. We end with suggestions for future research.
