“…For example, with respect to internalizing problems, youth born in Mexico (vs. the United States) have not only steeper decreases in depression from Ages 10 to 18 (Cruz et al, 2021) but also higher rates of social anxiety and loneliness between the Ages 11 and 15 (Polo & Lo ´pez, 2009), which may be reflected in the development of neuroticism. In the externalizing domain, studies have found that high-school-aged youth born in Mexico (vs. the United States) have lower rates of substance use (Prado et al, 2009;Vaughan et al, 2016), which may be reflected in the development of conscientiousness. However, other studies suggest that nativity does not affect development within these domains (e.g., see Aizpitarte et al, 2019;Gonzales et al, 2017).…”

The time between adolescence and adulthood is a transformative period of development. During these years, youth are exploring work, relationships, and worldviews while gaining the capacities needed to take on adult roles. These social and psychological processes are reflected in how personality develops across this period. Most youth personality development research has focused on the Big Five domains, ignoring the hierarchical structure of personality and missing broader, higher order processes and more specific, lower order processes. Toward a more comprehensive account, this study examines how personality develops from adolescence into the early years of adulthood at the metatrait (stability, plasticity), domain (Big Five), and facet levels. Data come from a longitudinal study of Mexican-origin youth (N = 645) with few socioeconomic resources who were assessed 5 times from Ages 14 to 23. We used latent growth curve models to investigate mean-level change, rank-order consistency, and the maintenance of trajectories for self-reported personality metatraits, domains, and facets. We found distinct developmental processes unfolding at each level of the hierarchy, including (a) mean-level changes in the metatraits and domains indicating increases in exploratory tendencies (i.e., plasticity) and maturity (i.e., increases in agreeableness and conscientiousness, decreases in neuroticism), and divergent change patterns between facets within each domain indicating nuanced maturational processes; (b) comparable levels of rank-order consistency for metatraits, domains, and facets; and (c) evidence that deviations from youth's developmental trajectories did not persist over time. Our findings offer insights into personality development that would be impossible to glean from the domain-level alone and adds needed sociocultural diversity to the literature.

“…Early alcohol and tobacco use has been linked to many adverse risks such as delinquency, lower academic achievement (Schofield et al, 2015; Vaughan et al, 2016), risky sexual behavior (Stueve & O’Donnell, 2005), and socializing with other substance-using peers which can facilitate and markedly escalate deviant behavior (West et al, 2013). Early age drinking and smoking has also been found to increase later-in-life risk of substance abuse and addiction (Gil et al, 2004).…”

Due to high stressors and inequities, youth from Latinx migrant farmworker (LMFW) families may experience an elevated risk of early drinking and smoking. Parent-adolescent communication can protect against early initiation, but few researchers have explored this parenting practice in LMFW families. This qualitative study used youth-reported narratives to examine messages LMFW parents convey when discussing drinking and smoking, if these messages varied by age, youths’ feelings toward these discussions, and if these discussions promoted resilience against drinking and smoking among youth. Twenty-four LMFW youth (67% boys, Mage = 13.88, 79% born in the United States) were recruited from a summer Migrant Education Program in Indiana. Using thematic analysis, five themes were identified from youth interviews: (1) mostly older youth used substances, but nearly all youth stated that parent’s expressed disapproval toward underage drinking and smoking; (2) parent-adolescent discussions left youth feeling positive and confident; (3) parents used consejos to communicate about alcohol and tobacco; (4) parents were lenient toward drinking and smoking in older male teens; and (5) some parents did not offer reasons for why youth should avoid drinking and smoking or rules pertaining to these substances. Our findings have implications for research and interventions aimed at fostering parent-adolescent communication in LMFW families about alcohol and tobacco use.

School Factors and Alcohol Use: The Moderating Effect of Nativity in a National Sample of Latino Adolescents

Abstract: School connectedness is a contemporaneous risk factor for alcohol use among those born in the United States. Prevention efforts that address school contextual factors may be important for all Latino students to reduce engagement in alcohol use and optimize well-being.
