不认同或不重视家庭的青年(即,低家庭中心性)被认为有可能出现适应不良。然而,目前的研究调查了低家庭中心性是否可以适应消极的家庭环境(即,高家庭冲突),因为年轻人的自我价值不应该与他们的家庭关系的质量挂钩。使用日常日记和潜变量的相互作用,纵向问卷调查的多层次模型表明,在428个墨西哥裔美国青少年(49.8%的男性,法师= 15.02年)的样本中,较低的家庭中心一般不利于青年的福祉。然而,对于处于不利家庭环境中的青年来说,家庭中心性低不再是一个风险因素。目前的研究结果表明,家庭中心价值观在青年福祉中发挥的作用比以前认为的更为微妙,因此,低家庭中心性可能是对重大家庭挑战的适应性反应。
Youth who do not identify with or value their families (i.e., low family centrality) are considered to be at risk for maladjustment. However, the current study investigated whether low family centrality may be adaptive in negative family contexts (i.e., high family conflict) because youth’s self-worth should be less tied to the quality of their family relationships. Multilevel models using daily diaries and latent variable interactions using longitudinal questionnaires indicated that, among a sample of 428 Mexican American adolescents (49.8% male,Mage= 15.02 years), lower family centrality was generally detrimental to youth’s well-being. However, for youth in adverse family environments, low family centrality ceased to function as a risk factor. The present findings suggest that family centrality values play a more nuanced role in youth well-being than previously believed, such that low family centrality may be an adaptive response to significant family challenges.
