|a This study sought to examine the association between parental psychological functioning and adolescent problem behavior among Hispanic immigrant parents and adolescents. The study utilized archival data from a longitudinal study of acculturation and risk behaviors among recent Hispanic immigrant parent-adolescent dyads. The sample consisted of 302 parents and adolescents from Miami (N = 152) and Los Angeles (N = 150). Parents’ psychological functioning was assessed by measuring parents’ self-reported level of acculturative stress indicated by English competency pressures, Spanish competency pressures, pressure toward acculturation, and pressure against acculturation. Adolescent adjustment was assessed by measuring adolescents’ self-reported levels of involvement in externalizing problems indicated by attention problems, rule-breaking behaviors, and aggressive behaviors, as well as internalizing problems indicated by depressive symptoms. Correlation analysis was conducted to determine a relationship between domains of parental acculturative stress and adolescents’ externalizing problems. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to investigate the predictive relationship between domains of parental acculturative stress and adolescents’ depressive symptoms. The results revealed parental acculturative stress was not significantly associated with adolescents’ externalizing problems. Similarly, parental acculturative stress did not significantly predict adolescents’ depressive symptoms. Despite the fact that study hypotheses were not supported, the current results support the notion that the relationship between parental psychological functioning and adolescent may best be explained by including family-level processes such as parent-adolescent communication, family cohesion, parental monitoring that have been shown to be more proximal predictors and correlates of adolescent psychological outcomes. As a result, future research should seek to examine an indirect relationship between parental acculturative stress and adolescent adjustment outcomes. Data from such research may potentially inform the development of preventive interventions for recent Hispanic immigrant parents and adolescents. |
