Abstract

Objectives: To ascertain, among a sample of Korean multicultural adolescents, the longitudinal predictive effects of acculturative stress and parent-adolescent conflict on depressive symptoms and life satisfaction, both (a) directly and (b) indirectly through Korean and heritage cultural practices and identifications.

Method: We analyzed longitudinal data from the nationally representative Korean Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study (MAPS; 2011-2016). The sample consisted of 1,433 households at Wave 3 (the first timepoint used in the present analyses), and 92.7% of families were retained until the end of the study. Adolescents completed measures of acculturative stress and parent-adolescent conflict at Timepoint 1, heritage and Korean cultural practices and identifications at Timepoints 2 and 3, and depressive symptoms and life satisfaction at Timepoint 4.

Results: Acculturative stress at Timepoint 1 predicted both depressive symptoms and life satisfaction at Timepoint 4 indirectly through Korean cultural practices and identifications. Parent-adolescent conflict at Timepoint 1 directly predicted depressive symptoms at Timepoint 4 and predicted life satisfaction indirectly through heritage-cultural practices and identifications. These links were invariant across adolescent sex.

Conclusions: Among Korean multicultural adolescents, acculturative stressors inhibit engagement in Korean cultural practices and identification as Korean, whereas conflict with parents inhibits engagement in heritage cultural practices and identification with the foreign-born parent's cultural heritage. Decreased Korean and heritage cultural practices and cultural identifications predict increased depressive symptoms and lowered life satisfaction. These findings suggest that culturally stressful experiences can impair psychological functioning among Korean multicultural adolescents by undermining acculturation to both Korean and heritage cultural systems.

韩国多元文化家庭中青少年的文化压力、文化适应过程和心理健康。

研究目的在韩国多元文化青少年样本中，确定文化适应压力和父母与青少年之间的冲突对抑郁症状和生活满意度的纵向预测影响，包括（a）直接影响和（b）通过韩国和传统文化习俗和认同间接影响：我们分析了具有全国代表性的韩国多元文化青少年小组研究（MAPS，2011-2016 年）的纵向数据。样本包括第 3 波（本分析使用的第一个时间点）的 1,433 个家庭，其中 92.7% 的家庭保留至研究结束。青少年在时间点 1 完成了文化适应压力和父母与青少年冲突的测量，在时间点 2 和 3 完成了遗产和韩国文化习俗及认同的测量，在时间点 4 完成了抑郁症状和生活满意度的测量：结果：时间点 1 的文化适应压力可通过韩国文化习俗和认同间接预测时间点 4 的抑郁症状和生活满意度。时间点 1 的父母与青少年冲突直接预测了时间点 4 的抑郁症状，并通过传统文化习俗和认同间接预测了生活满意度。这些联系在不同性别的青少年中都是不变的：结论：在韩国多元文化青少年中，文化适应压力抑制了韩国文化习俗的参与和对韩国人身份的认同，而与父母的冲突则抑制了传统文化习俗的参与和对外国出生的父母文化遗产的认同。韩国文化习俗和传统文化认同的减少预示着抑郁症状的增加和生活满意度的降低。这些研究结果表明，文化上的压力经历会损害韩国多元文化青少年对韩国和传统文化系统的适应，从而损害他们的心理功能。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有）。
