This study examined the relations between normative developmental changes of familism values and later internalizing and externalizing behaviors in Latinx adolescents from an emerging immigrant community. The sample included 547 Latinx adolescents (55.4% female; baseline = 12.80; = 1.03) residing in the Southeastern United States. Results from latent growth models indicated that higher initial levels of familism values (intercept) and slower declines (slope) in familism values across adolescence predicted lower internalizing and externalizing behaviors at a later time. These associations generalized across adolescent gender (boys and girls) and ethnic background (Mexican-origin vs. other Latinx-origin). This work highlights the impact of variation in normative developmental changes in familism values on adjustment among Latinx adolescents in an emerging immigrant community context.

Parental emotion regulation is closely associated with the development of young children's behavioral problems. The present study aims to investigate the potential mediating role of family emotional expressiveness in the association between parental emotion dysregulation and externalizing problems among Chinese preschoolers and to further examine whether this mediation depends on parental endorsement of the cultural value of Chinese familism. A survey study was conducted to examine the moderated mediation model.

Introduction: Familism varies across cultures, with some societies placing greater emphasis on family ties and obligations than others. Despite its variability, the precise impact of familism on psychosocial functioning remains inconclusive and requires further exploration to clarify its effects in different cultural contexts. Understanding the role of familism in a cross-cultural context can help health care providers enhance patient care by considering familial influences on mental health and well-being.

Romantic relationships are normative in adolescence, and parents can play a role in supporting or restricting adolescents' romantic experiences. This study examined parents' involvement in adolescents' romantic relationships in a sample of 226 Mexican-origin families. Findings indicated that, on average, mothers were more supportive of adolescents' romantic relationships than fathers, and parents were more supportive of daughters than of sons.

Family-centered values are important for caregiving. However, findings on their association with burden are inconsistent. We aim to analyze whether positive aspects of caregiving are mediating the effect of familism on burden among informal caregivers of older adults in Germany.

Knowledge from the Global South, including Latin America, has enriched our understanding of developmental science. Despite underrepresentation in the published literature, research from Latin America has advanced the psychology of parenting and child and adolescent development. An ecological approach is valuable in adding meaning and specificity to general cultural clusters and has revealed how responsibility, lovingness, and respect are enacted in the everyday lives of families and children.
