- Abstract:
- This study examined differences in domains of acculturation between Hispanic parents and their adolescents. The domains of acculturation included: identifications, values, and practices. Comparisons were made between parents and adolescents on identifications, values, and practices reflected in American and Hispanic cultures. Findings indicated that parents and adolescents differed on mean levels of: identifications, values, and practices. In addition, the predictive relationship between acculturation domains and depressive symptoms in parents and adolescents was assessed. Ethnic identity significantly predicted depressive symptomatology in parents. Individualism and ethnic identity were significant predictors of depressive symptomatology in adolescents. Findings are consistent with previous research which indicates that adolescents and parents engage in different acculturation patterns. Similarly, as noted in the literature the acculturation process is associated with likelihood of depressive symptomatology in both parents and adolescents. These findings have clinical implications in particular for those who serve Hispanic adolescents and parents in clinical settings.
