  • Title: Ethnic socialization and the academic adjustment of adolescents from Mexican, Chinese, and European backgrounds.
    Author: Huynh VW, Fuligni AJ.
    Journal: Dev Psychol; 2008 Jul; 44(4):1202-8. PubMed ID: 18605847.
    Abstract:
    Ethnic and generation differences in the frequency and types of ethnic socialization messages that 524 eleventh-grade adolescents from Mexican, Chinese, and European backgrounds received from their parents were examined. Results indicated that adolescents from both Mexican and Chinese backgrounds reported more cultural socialization and preparation for bias messages than their peers from European backgrounds. Chinese adolescents reported more promotion of mistrust messages than their peers with European backgrounds. Moreover, promotion of mistrust messages negatively predicted academic achievement, whereas positive cultural socialization messages accounted for the higher levels of motivation among adolescents from Chinese and Mexican backgrounds as compared with their equally achieving peers from European backgrounds.
