DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Ethnic-racial disparities in achievement and mental health during adolescence, in which ethnic minority youth from African American, Hispanic, American Indian, and Asian backgrounds are at elevated risk for poor academic and mental health outcomes relative to their European American counterparts are well documented. Such disparities suggest that it is crucial to understand the potential ethnic-racial variations in the components of parenting that most effectively protect youth from maladaptive outcomes versus those that place them at risk. However, there is little consensus among researchers regarding whether varied aspects of parenting operate similarly or differently across sub-cultural groups within the United States, most commonly delimited in terms of racial-ethnic group membership. Comparative studies do not consistently disentangle differences due to race/ethnicity from potentially confounding differences due to socioeconomic, family, or neighborhood factors. And studies rarely include measures of cultural processes that permit a test of a-priori hypotheses regarding cultural factors (beliefs, goals, or value orientations) that may underlie ethnic group differences in parental influences. Thus, the central aim of this study is address previous research limitations by aggregating data from multiple datasets into a single data set that is comprised of ethnically diverse families, extensive measures of parenting, and youths' behavioral, academic outcomes, and self-perceptions alongside demographic, family, and neighborhood controls. This pooled data analytic strategy simultaneously includes and enables the testing of (a) multiple ethnic groups, (b) comparable measures of parenting and of developmental outcomes, (c) comparable controls for family, socioeconomic, and neighborhood factors that may confound empirical relationships and, most importantly, (d) methods for assessing cultural based values, beliefs, or social cognitions that may underlie ethnic-racial differences in parenting consequences, when found. Through the collaborative work of the 10 members and 4 affiliates of the Study Group on Culture, Race, and Ethnicity (SGRCE) , the central aims of the study are: (1): To aggregate data from 11 datasets (9 belonging to study group members; 2 public use datasets) into a single dataset that contains large samples of participants from five ethnic groups (European American, African American, Chinese-origin, Mexican American, and American Indian), extensive measures of parenting, and youths' behavioral and academic outcomes, and also their self- perceptions (self-esteem and ethnic identity) along with demographic, family, and neighborhood variables that will be used as controls (2) To evaluate a conceptual model that specifies inter- relationships between core parenting constructs (warmth, behavioral control, psychological control, cultural socialization) and youths' adjustment (internalizing, externalizing, academic achievement) , including self-esteem and ethnic identity as important mediators, (3) To examine whether models that allow inter-relationships among core parenting variables and between parenting and youths' self perceptions and adjustment to vary across ethnic groups fit the data better than ones in which inter-relationships are constrained to be equal and (4) To utilize findings from the pooled-data analysis regarding relationships between parenting and adolescent outcomes to generate hypotheses regarding cultural processes underlying differences that emerge. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The well-documented ethnic-racial disparities in achievement and mental health during adolescence argue for the need to understand the potential ethnic-racial variations in the components of parenting that most effectively protect youth from maladaptive outcomes versus those that place them at risk. This project examines the inter-relationships among parenting and youths' behavioral, academic outcomes, and self-perceptions alongside demographic, family, and neighborhood controls through the use of a pooled-meta pooled data analytic strategy. In light of the focus of intervention/prevention programs on parent training, this research will inform scholars and practitioners in regards to increased understanding of potential ethnic-racial variations in the components of parenting that most effectively protect youth from maladaptive outcomes versus those that place them at risk.

描述（由申请人提供）：在青春期的成就和心理健康方面存在种族-种族差异，其中来自非洲裔美国人，西班牙裔，美洲印第安人和亚洲背景的少数民族青年相对于欧洲裔美国人的学术和心理健康结果较差的风险较高。这种差异表明，至关重要的是要了解潜在的民族-种族差异的组成部分，最有效地保护青年适应不良的结果与那些把他们置于危险之中。 然而，研究人员之间很少有共识，关于养育子女的各个方面是否在美国的亚文化群体中有相似或不同的运作，最常见的是以种族-族裔群体成员资格来界定。比较研究并没有始终如一地将种族/民族差异与社会经济、家庭或邻里因素造成的潜在混淆差异区分开来。研究很少包括文化过程的措施，允许测试有关文化因素（信仰，目标或价值取向）的先验假设，这些文化因素可能是父母影响种族群体差异的基础。因此，本研究的中心目的是通过将来自多个数据集的数据汇总到一个单一的数据集来解决以前的研究局限性，该数据集包括种族多样化的家庭，广泛的育儿措施，以及青少年的行为，学业成绩和自我认知以及人口统计，家庭和邻里控制。这种汇总数据分析策略同时包括并能够测试（a）多个种族群体，（B）养育和发展结果的可比措施，（c）可能混淆经验关系的家庭，社会经济和邻里因素的可比控制，以及最重要的是，（d）评估基于文化的价值观，信仰，通过文化、种族和族裔研究小组（SGRCE）的10名成员和4个附属机构的合作，本研究的主要目的是：（1）：从11个数据集汇总数据（9名属于研究小组成员; 2个公共使用数据集）合并为一个数据集，其中包含来自五个种族的参与者的大样本（欧洲裔美国人，非洲裔美国人，华裔，墨西哥裔美国人和美国印第安人），父母养育的广泛措施，以及青少年的行为和学术成果，以及他们的自我认知（自尊和种族认同）沿着人口统计学、家庭和邻里变量，这些变量将被用作控制（2）评估一个概念模型，该模型指定了核心养育结构之间的相互关系（温暖、行为控制、心理控制、文化社会化）与青少年适应（内化、外化、学术成就），包括自尊和族裔认同作为重要的中介，（3）审查允许跨部门的模式是否核心养育变量之间的关系以及养育和青少年的自我认知和调整之间的关系在种族群体之间存在差异，数据优于那些相互关系被限制为平等的（4）利用汇总数据分析的结果，关于养育和青少年的结果之间的关系，以产生假设的文化过程中出现的差异。 公共卫生关系：在青少年时期的成就和心理健康方面有据可查的民族-种族差异表明，需要了解养育子女的组成部分中潜在的民族-种族差异，这些组成部分最有效地保护青少年免受适应不良结果的影响，而不是使他们处于危险之中。本项目通过使用汇总-元汇总数据分析策略，研究了养育子女和青少年行为、学业成绩和自我认知以及人口、家庭和邻里控制之间的相互关系。鉴于父母培训干预/预防计划的重点，本研究将告知学者和从业人员，以增加对父母养育组成部分中潜在的民族-种族差异的理解，这些组成部分最有效地保护青少年免受适应不良结果的影响，而不是那些使他们处于危险之中的结果。
