The moderating role of gender and acculturative status in the socialization of cultural values in U.S. Mexican families.
Cultural Diversity & Ethnic Minority Psychology 2024 April 5
OBJECTIVES: Familismo and respeto are traditional Latine values often taught to U.S. Latine children by their caregivers. Deference to authority figures and restraint from defiance to such figures are also taught. Despite the central role of these as markers of Latine ethnic identity and their relevance to children's health and well-being, little is known on how these traditional cultural values are socialized and whether differences exist in these values between English-speaking and Spanish-speaking U.S. Latine mothers and between boys and girls. We examined expressions of familismo, respeto, deference, and defiance in conversations of low-income, U.S. Mexican mothers and their children as a function of mothers' acculturative status and children's gender.
METHOD: One hundred thirty-eight video-recorded U.S. Mexican mother-child conversations (65 girls; age: M = 10.5 years, SD = 0.53) were transcribed and coded to obtain indices of respeto, familismo, deference, and defiance. There were 70 Spanish-speaking mothers and 68 English-speaking mothers (age: M = 34.9 years, SD = 5.8) from the Early Head Start Research and Evaluation project.
RESULTS: Spanish-speaking children were more deferent than English-speaking children. English-speaking children were more defiant. There were no group differences, however, in familism and respect.
CONCLUSIONS: The findings advance a more nuanced conceptual framework of cultural values socialization that is sensitive to acculturative status in U.S. Latine populations and can inform the development of effective intervention efforts (e.g., parenting education programs) aimed at supporting enculturative practices that can enhance U.S. Latine children's health and well-being.
