| Abstract: | Investigates 81 first, second, and third-generation Mexican American male adolescents to test whether integration with traditional Mexican American culture promotes healthy psychological adjustment and less juvenile delinquency. Finds no differences in educational aspiration, but that third-generation subjects had lower expectations, higher delinquency rates, and higher disjunction scores. (Author) |
