Parental Cultural Socialization of Mexican-American Adolescents’ Family Obligation Values and Behaviors
Open accessAbstract
The current study examined how parents’ cultural socialization efforts contribute to adolescents’ family obligation values and behaviors and how these processes may depend upon the relational climate at home. Utilizing survey and daily diary methodologies, 428 Mexican-American adolescents (50% males; Mage = 15 years) and their parents (83% mothers; Mage = 42 years) participated in the study. Adolescents reported on their family obligation values and engagement in family assistance tasks across 14 days. Parents reported on their cultural socialization practices. Results indicated that parental cultural socialization was associated with adolescents’ family obligation values and behaviors when parent–child relationships were low in conflict and high in support. Findings suggest that the transmission of cultural values and practices is best facilitated through positive parent–child relationships.

Recent scholarship shows that family cultural socialization's developmental implications vary with contextual factors such as family relationships and neighborhood characteristics.
“Examining interactive effects is supported by recent scholarship documenting the varying developmental implications of family cultural socialization by contextual factors such as family relationships and neighborhood characteristics (Hernández, Conger, Robins, Bacher, & Widaman, 2014; Supple, Ghazarian, Frabutt, Plunkett, & Sands, 2006; Tsai, Telzer, Gonzales, & Fuligni, 2015).”

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.
