家庭主义被描述为拉丁裔的核心文化价值观，但对其态度和行为表现的研究却很少。我们利用从参加民族志研究的 23 名拉丁裔母亲收集的定性数据来探讨家庭主义的态度和行为。该研究采用半结构化访谈和参与者观察方法，对每位参与者进行 10 至 12 次家访。结果表明，行为家庭主义体现在五个具体领域：经济支持、共同日常活动、共同生活、共同养育孩子和移民，并且作为一种动态结构发挥作用，随着时间的推移和不同情况，沿着成本和收益的连续体变化，对儿童的发展产生影响。讨论强调家庭主义对于低收入城市拉丁裔家庭来说既是风险也是保护因素，并强调在拉丁裔儿童发展研究中考虑其成本和收益之间平衡的重要性。
Familismo has been described as a core cultural value for Latinos, but there have been few studies of its attitudinal and behavioral manifestations. We explored attitudinal and behavioral familismo using qualitative data collected from 23 Latina mothers who participated in an ethnographic study. The study employed semistructured interviews and participant observation methods carried out across 10 to 12 home visits for each participant. Results indicate that behavioral familismo manifests in five specific areasfinancial support, shared daily activities, shared living, shared childrearing, and immigrationand functions as a dynamic construct that moves along a continuum of costs and benefits, over time and across situations, with implications for children's development. The discussion highlights familismo as both a risk and protective factor for low-income, urban Latino families and underscores the importance of considering the balance between its costs and benefits in studies of Latino child development.
