TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Parent-adolescent ethnic identity discrepancies and adolescent psychosocial maladjustment: a study of gender differences JO - Child and adolescent social work journal A1 - Ansary, Nadia S. A1 - Scorpio, Elaine A1 - Catanzariti, Donjae SP - 275 EP - 291 VL - 30 IS - 4 N2 - The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of parent-adolescent ethnic identity disparities on the psychosocial adjustment of an ethnically diverse sample (n = 174, female = 96) of adolescents (M = 16.05, SD = 1.30). Findings from this investigation suggest gender differences in links between parent and adolescent acculturation disparities and psychosocial maladjustment. Whereas parent-child conflict regarding affiliating with the dominant group was associated with higher levels of depression and social stress for females, this was not the case for males. Implications for social workers providing services to youth and families struggling to acculturate are discussed.
