Mexican American Adolescents

Scales were developed to measure affective aspects of Latino, American, and global-human identities among first- and second-generation Mexican-American adolescents. Participants were 84 boys and 93 girls from the Los Angeles high schools. 60 were born in Mexico, and 117 were born in the United States and had at least one parent born in Mexico. The affective Latino and American measures were independent and predictably related to a behaviorally oriented measure of acculturation. They were also used to identify Berry's four modes of acculturation: Separated, Assimilated, Marginalized, and Bicultural. The four acculturation groups rated similarly on self-esteem and academic aspiration. The first and second generations each scored higher on Latino identity than on American identity.

The mapping of adaptive and maladaptive trajectories in adolescence has been a key concern of developmental psychopathology research. Given the importance of studying adolescents’ own expert views of their experiences, we explored the factors that contribute to the adoption of trajectories characterized by well-being, by distress, and self-destructive trajectories, in a convenience sample of 33 community adolescents (13-21 years old) organized in five focus groups. Adolescents’ mapping of their own trajectories emerged through textual data analysis and was composed mainly of family and individual factors.We proposed a systemic hypothesis to explain how the interactivity between family and individual factors may foster different trajectories: family relational climate and parental emotional support create a context where self-regulation and positive self-esteem are increased. This study contributes to the deeper understanding of developmental trajectoriesand enriches reflections on the conceptualization and implementation of preventive and therapeutic interventions.

Discriminatory Capacity

Summary: Self-concept is a construct consisting of a group of specific self-perceptions that are hierarchically organized. Age-associated changes of self-concept are related to the individual's perception of the changes occurring throughout the aging process. The authors examined external validity and internal consistency of an instrument that has been developed to assess self-concept in older adults and examined self-concept's characteristics in two different contexts. Results confirm the multidimensionality of the scale and show a satisfactory external validity, indicating good discriminatory capacity. Findings support the hypothesis that older people who live in a nursing home have a poor self-esteem, self-concept, and psychological well-being and have a greater presence of depressive symptoms than people who live in their own home.
