An Ecological Approach to Understanding Immigrant Child and Adolescent Developmental Competencies
Abstract
Immigrant children are the fastest growing subset of the U.S. population, with great diversity in languages, cultural practices, migratory histories, and socioeconomic contexts. This chapter presents an ecological perspective on three salient domains of immigrant child and adolescent development: biculturalism, bilingualism, and building healthy ethnic identities. Qualitative and quantitative research that focuses on these developmental competencies from the past decade is reviewed. In highlighting the micro- and mesosystem contexts supporting these competency areas, this chapter offers new ideas for both research and intervention efforts in support of immigrant youth development.

“…suggests that parents’ promotion of mainstream values and cross-race friendships is associated with socioemotional and academic benefits, as it promotes children’s competence in the mainstream society and positive attitudes toward other racial/ethnic groups (Evans et al. 2012; Marks et al. 2014).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
