关于亲子关系如何受到文化适应过程的影响以及这一过程如何与拉丁裔青年的饮酒有关，文献褒贬不一。造成这种好坏参半的结果可能至少有两个因素：第一，父母一方或双方到达新的国家，然后派人接孩子的交错移徙可能导致一些家庭父母比孩子更快地适应文化。第二，文化适应可能会产生不同的影响，这取决于酒精使用的哪些方面正在审查。本研究解决了第一个因素，通过测试的文化适应，酒精使用关系的曲线趋势和第二个建模过去一年的酒精使用为零膨胀负二项分布。此外，本研究探讨了独特的和调解的影响，父母与子女的文化适应差异（差距），母亲参与儿童的学校教育，父亲参与儿童的学校教育，和有效的父母对青少年酒精使用在过去的12个月，测量使用的概率和使用的程度。直接路径从亲子文化适应的差异，以酒精的使用，并通过母亲参与，父亲参与，有效的养育中介路径进行了测试。只有父亲的参与完全介导的路径，从亲子文化适应的差异，酒精使用的可能性。没有一个变量检查调解的路径从父母-子女文化适应的差异，酒精使用的程度。有效的养育是无关的文化适应的差异，但是，它保持了显着的直接影响的概率青少年酒精使用和使用的程度后，控制母亲和父亲的参与。预防策略的影响进行了讨论。
The literature has been mixed regarding how parent–child relationships are affected by the acculturation process and how this process relates to alcohol use among Latino youth. The mixed results may be due to, at least, two factors: First, staggered migration in which one or both parents arrive to the new country and then send for the children may lead to faster acculturation in parents than in children for some families. Second, acculturation may have different effects depending on which aspects of alcohol use are being examined. This study addresses the first factor by testing for a curvilinear trend in the acculturation-alcohol use relationship and the second by modeling past year alcohol use as a zero inflated negative binomial distribution. Additionally, this study examined the unique and mediation effects of parent–child acculturation discrepancies (gap), mother involvement in children’s schooling, father involvement in children’s schooling, and effective parenting on youth alcohol use during the last 12 months, measured as the probability of using and the extent of use. Direct paths from parent–child acculturation discrepancy to alcohol use, and mediated paths through mother involvement, father involvement, and effective parenting were also tested. Only father involvement fully mediated the path from parent–child acculturation discrepancies to the probability of alcohol use. None of the variables examined mediated the path from parent–child acculturation discrepancies to the extent of alcohol use. Effective parenting was unrelated to acculturation discrepancies; however, it maintained a significant direct effect on the probability of youth alcohol use and the extent of use after controlling for mother and father involvement. Implications for prevention strategies are discussed.
