青年的日常活动和调整之间的联系，并在这些联系中的文化习俗和价值观的作用进行了研究，在469名青年从237个墨西哥裔美国人的家庭。在家庭访谈中，收集了母亲、父亲和两个同龄兄弟姐妹的文化习俗（语言使用、社会交往）和价值观（家庭主义、教育成就）的数据，沿着收集了青年危险行为和抑郁症状的数据。在7次夜间电话中，青年人报告了他们一天的空闲时间活动（即，体育、学术、宗教活动、看电视和闲逛）。分析显示，那些花更多时间在无人监督的闲逛中的年轻人报告了更多的抑郁症状和危险行为，而那些花更多时间在学术活动中的年轻人报告了较少的危险行为。结果还表明，更多的盎格鲁为导向的青年花更多的时间在体育运动，更多的墨西哥为导向的青年花更多的时间看电视，父亲的家庭主义价值观与青年的时间在宗教活动，父母的教育价值观与青年的时间在学术活动。一些证据表明，父母的文化习俗和价值观，特别是父亲的，调节日常活动和青年适应之间的联系。
The links between youth’s daily activities and adjustment and the role of cultural practices and values in these links were studied in 469 youth from 237 Mexican American families. In home interviews, data on mothers’, fathers’, and two adolescent-age siblings’ cultural practices (language use, social contacts) and values (for familism, for education achievement) were collected, along with data on youth risky behavior and depressive symptoms. In 7 nightly phone calls, youth reported on their day’s free time activities (i.e., sports, academics, religious activities, television viewing, and hanging out). Analyses revealed that youth who spent more time in unsupervised hanging out reported more depressive symptoms and risky behavior, and those who spent more time in academic activities reported less risky behavior. Results also indicated that more Anglo-oriented youth spent more time in sports, that more Mexican-oriented youth spent more time watching television, that fathers’ familism values were related to youth’s time in religious activities, and that parents’ educational values were linked to youth’s time in academic activities. Some evidence indicated that parents’ cultural practices and values, particularly fathers’, moderated the links between daily activities and youth adjustment.
