随着西班牙裔青年适应美国社会，患抑郁症的风险增加。这种关联对西班牙裔女孩比男孩更强。为了更好地了解文化和家庭对抑郁症状的影响，我们测试了文化适应，文化价值观和家庭功能的过程导向模型。数据来自红色项目，其中包括1,922名来自南加州的西班牙裔学生（53%为女孩; 86%为14岁; 84%为美国出生）。我们使用9至11年级的数据来测试随着时间的推移，与文化相关的经历对抑郁症状的影响。多组结构方程分析表明，家庭冲突和亲密度与抑郁症状存在显著相关。西班牙文化价值观与家庭凝聚力和冲突，但这些关系的强度和方向不同的文化价值观和性别。对于女孩和男孩，家庭主义和respeto与较高的家庭凝聚力和较低的家庭冲突。此外，性别角色与女孩的家庭凝聚力较高有关，但与男孩无关。这些结果表明，改善家庭功能将有利于男孩和女孩的心理健康。这可以通过促进男孩和女孩的家庭主义和尊重以及促进女孩的传统性别角色来实现。
The risk for depression increases as Hispanic youth acculturate to U.S. society. This association is stronger for Hispanic girls than boys. To better understand the influence of culture and family on depressive symptoms, we tested a process-oriented model of acculturation, cultural values, and family functioning. The data came from Project RED, which included 1,922 Hispanic students (53 % girls; 86 % were 14 years old; and 84 % were U.S. born) from Southern California. We used data from 9th to 11th grade to test the influence of acculturation-related experiences on depressive symptoms over time. Multi-group structural equation analysis suggested that both family conflict and cohesion were linked with depressive symptoms. Hispanic cultural values were associated with family cohesion and conflict but the strength and direction of these relationships varied across cultural values and gender. For girls and boys, familismo and respeto were associated with higher family cohesion and lower family conflict. Moreover, gender roles were linked with higher family cohesion in girls but not in boys. These results indicate that improving family functioning will be beneficial for boys’ and girls’ psychological well-being. This may be achieved by promoting familismo and respeto for boys and girls and by promoting traditional gender roles for girls.
