DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed study will examine longitudinal changes in youth's cultural orientations/experiences and psychosocial and physical well being in a rapidly growing segment of the U.S. population: Mexican American youth from predominantly immigrant families. Latinos are the largest and fastest-growing ethnic minority group in the nation, and Mexican origin individuals comprise 67% of this population. Building on our cross- sectional study of Mexican American families with adolescent siblings (R01-HD39666), we propose to collect two additional points of measurement from four family members (i.e., mothers, fathers, target adolescents, and older siblings) in the 246 families who participated in the original project. Our proposed study will span 8 years in the lives of Mexican origin youth (ages 12 to 21 for target adolescents and 15 to 24 for older siblings) and their parents. Our focus on how unfolding cultural and family socialization processes are linked to well being in late adolescence and emerging adulthood promises to make significant contributions to the field of human development which has paid almost no attention to normative developmental processes among ethnic minority youth and families (Garcia Coll et al., 1996; McLoyd, 1998). The specific aims of our study are as follows: (1) to chart the longitudinal course of the multiple dimensions of youth's cultural orientations and experiences and the interrelations between these dimensions from early adolescence through emerging adulthood and to identify the moderators of change patterns; (2) to describe the longitudinal linkages between youth's cultural orientations and experiences and those of their parents and siblings and to identify the moderators of those linkages; and (3) to examine the longitudinal linkages between youth's developing cultural orientations/experiences and their psychosocial and physical well being. Home interviews and time-use data (via seven phone interviews) will be collected from four family members. Hierarchical linear modeling will be used to address our specific aims. Public Health Statement: The proposed project will provide important insights about the ways in which youth's cultural orientations and experiences are linked to their positive development (e.g., school achievement, family relationship qualities) and psychological and physical well being (e.g., risky behaviors, depressive symptoms) overtime and to the conditions under which youth's cultural values and experiences promote or hinder their well being.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的研究将研究青年的文化取向/经验和心理社会和身体健康的纵向变化在美国人口的快速增长的部分：墨西哥裔美国青年从主要移民家庭。拉丁裔是美国最大和增长最快的少数民族群体，墨西哥裔占人口的67%。基于我们对有青少年兄弟姐妹的墨西哥裔美国家庭的横断面研究（R 01-HD 39666），我们建议从四个家庭成员中收集两个额外的测量点（即，母亲、父亲、目标青少年和年长的兄弟姐妹）。我们拟议的研究将在墨西哥裔青年（目标青少年年龄为12至21岁，年长的兄弟姐妹年龄为15至24岁）及其父母的生活中持续8年。我们对文化和家庭社会化过程如何与青春期后期和成年期初的幸福相联系的关注，有望为人类发展领域做出重大贡献，而人类发展领域几乎没有关注少数民族青年和家庭的规范发展过程（Garcia科尔et al.，1996; McLoyd，1998）。本研究的具体目的是：（1）从青少年早期到成年初，描绘青少年文化取向和文化体验的多个维度的纵向过程，以及这些维度之间的相互关系，并确定变化模式的调节因素;（二）描述青年的文化取向和经历与其父母和兄弟姐妹的文化取向和经历之间的纵向联系，并确定调节因素这些联系;及（3）探讨青少年发展中的文化取向/经历与他们的身心健康之间的纵向联系。家庭访谈和时间使用数据（通过七个电话访谈）将从四个家庭成员收集。分层线性建模将用于解决我们的具体目标。公共卫生声明：拟议的项目将提供重要的见解，说明青年的文化取向和经验如何与他们的积极发展联系在一起（例如，学校成绩、家庭关系质量）以及心理和身体健康（例如，风险行为、抑郁症状）以及青年的文化价值观和经历促进或阻碍其福祉的条件。
