The Relationship Between Acculturation, Ecodevelopment, and Substance Use Among Hispanic Adolescents.
TLDR
It is suggested that Hispanic culture was protective against substance use; however, those effects differed depending on level of Americanism.Abstract:
Using structural equation modeling, we examined the relationship of Hispanicism on recent substance use and whether Americanism moderated the effect in a sample of 1,141 Hispanic adolescents. The Bicultural Involvement Questionnaire (BIQ) was used to determine the degree of individual comfort in both Hispanic (Hispanicism) and American (Americanism) cultures. Hispanicism was associated with greater family functioning (β = 0.36, p < .05) and school bonding (β = 0.31, p < .01); Americanism moderated the effect of Hispanicism on substance use (β = 0.92, p < .01). Findings suggest that Hispanic culture was protective against substance use, however those effects differed depending on level of Americanism.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, a conceptual framework for cross-cultural psychology has been proposed, and some general findings and conclusions based on a sample of empirical studies have been presented, with a consideration of the social and psychological costs and benefits of adopting a pluralist and integrationist orientation to these issues.
