Abstract

Objectives: To understand processes contributing to Chinese American adolescents' civic engagement, our study examined: (a) the mediating role of Chinese American adolescents' ethnic identity resolution in the associations between their parents' cultural socialization and their own civic engagement (i.e., political participation and civil participation), (b) the moderating role of parents' racial socialization competency in the association between parents' cultural socialization and adolescents' ethnic identity resolution, and (c) the moderating role of adolescents' behavioral acculturation toward American culture in the associations between adolescents' ethnic identity resolution and civic engagement.

Method: Participants included 303 Chinese American adolescents aged 10-18 years old (M_age = 14.1, SD = 2.2; 50% girls) and their parents (M_age = 44.1 years, SD = 6.0; 78% mothers).

Results: Chinese American parents' cultural socialization was positively related to their adolescents' ethnic identity resolution, which in turn contributed to adolescents' greater political participation and civil participation. The positive association between parents' cultural socialization and adolescents' ethnic identity resolution was further strengthened by parents' greater racial socialization competency. Moreover, a complex moderating effect of adolescents' behavioral participation in American society was revealed, in which adolescents' ethnic identity resolution was significantly associated with greater political participation only when they also had high levels of behavioral acculturation. Conversely, the relation between adolescents' ethnic identity resolution and their civil participation was not dependent on their behavioral acculturation level.

Conclusion: Our study highlighted the joint contribution of adolescent and parenting factors in promoting different forms of youth civic engagement in Chinese American families. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

成为公民参与的青少年：美国华裔家庭的个人和养育机制。

研究目的为了了解美国华裔青少年公民参与的过程，我们的研究探讨了：（a）美国华裔青少年的种族身份认同在其父母的文化社会化与他们自身的公民参与（即政治参与和公民参与）之间的中介作用；（b）父母的种族社会化能力在父母的文化社会化与青少年的种族身份认同之间的中介作用；以及（c）父母的种族社会化能力与青少年的种族身份认同之间的中介作用、政治参与和公民参与）之间的中介作用；（b）父母的种族社会化能力在父母的文化社会化与青少年的种族认同解决之间的关联中的调节作用；以及（c）青少年对美国文化的行为文化适应在青少年的种族认同解决与公民参与之间的关联中的调节作用：参与者包括303名10-18岁的美籍华裔青少年（年龄=14.1岁，SD=2.2；50%为女孩）及其父母（年龄=44.1岁，SD=6.0；78%为母亲）：结果表明：华裔美国人父母的文化社会化与青少年的民族身份认同感呈正相关，而青少年的民族身份认同感又促进了他们的政治参与和公民参与。父母的种族社会化能力进一步加强了父母的文化社会化与青少年种族认同解决之间的正相关。此外，青少年对美国社会的行为参与也产生了复杂的调节作用，只有当青少年的行为文化适应程度较高时，他们的种族身份认同解决能力才会与更多的政治参与显著相关。相反，青少年的种族身份认同与公民参与之间的关系并不取决于他们的行为文化适应水平：我们的研究强调了在美国华裔家庭中，青少年和父母的因素共同促进了青少年不同形式的公民参与。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved）。
