Despite the dramatic rise in immigration in the past 30 years, virtually nothing is known about how well the children of new immigrants adapt to American society. The project described in this proposal is a longitudinal study of the transition to adulthood among adolescence within families from the largest immigrant groups in the United States: Mexican, Central and South Americans, Filipinos, and Chinese. Youths within native-born families from these groups will also participate in the study, as well those from both immigrant and native-born families with European backgrounds. The main goals of the proposed project are threefold: (1) to assess the educational and occupational attainments of these youths as they make the transition from high school to young adulthood; (2) to examine the roles played in these attainments by both prior and current social and cultural factors, particularly: (a) youths; academic achievement in secondary school; (b) the expectations and support of their families and peers; (c) the youths' own attitudes and behaviors; (d) their use of employment networks within their immigrant communities; and (e) their sense of obligation to their families; and (3) to explore the extent to which youth's ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds moderate the influence of the social and cultural factors on their attainments.

尽管在过去的30年里，移民人数急剧增加，但实际上对新移民的子女如何适应美国社会一无所知。本提案中描述的项目是对美国最大的移民群体（墨西哥人、中美洲人和南美洲人、菲律宾人和中国人）家庭中青少年向成年过渡的纵向研究。来自这些群体的本地出生家庭的年轻人也将参加这项研究，以及来自欧洲背景的移民和本地出生家庭的年轻人。拟议项目的主要目标有三个：（1）评估这些青年从高中过渡到青年成年时的教育和职业成就;（2）审查以前和现在的社会和文化因素在这些成就中所起的作用，特别是：（a）青年;中学的学业成绩;（B）家庭和同龄人的期望和支持;（c）青年人自己的态度和行为;（d）他们利用移民社区内的就业网络;（e）他们对家庭的责任感;（3）探讨青少年的种族和社会经济背景在多大程度上调节了社会文化因素对其成就的影响。
