“…This strategy resulted in male partners controlling how much they contributed to household expenditures. This approach is considered a unitary household resource allocation strategy, whereby the household acts as one to create well-being for their members (Dozi, 2010). One of the most highly studied unitary approaches has been parental investment in child education, particularly in the context of human capital development.…”

“…Community perceptions have influenced the perception of Latino newcomers that experience the community through a community context. Perceptions of things such as U.S. immigration policies, socioeconomic systems, labor conditions, and perceptions of receiving members shaped newcomers' perception of their community (Dozi, 2010). In this sense, Bubolz et al (1980) explained that community environments are perceived by individuals and that individuals depend on their environments in order to satisfy needs and desires.…”

“…This study used a secondary data set taken from the "2008 Asset Accumulation Survey" conducted by a research team from the Cambio Center at the University of Missouri (Dozi, 2010). The survey was designed to investigate asset accumulation strategies of surveyed Latino immigrants living and working in three rural communities of Missouri, each in a different geographical area and with a unique pattern of industry (Dozi, 2010). Community A is located in Pettis County in the mid part of the state of Missouri where is the economy is heavily invested in poultry processing but has a number of employment opportunities in light manufacturing and agriculture.…”

This study aimed to investigate how forms of capital relate to satisfaction with the education and the higher education opportunities of the children of Latino families in three rural communities in Missouri. The specific research questions are: (1) What are the forms of capital of the survey respondents predict satisfaction with the education and the higher education opportunities of the children of Latino families? (2) What are the forms of capital of the Latino household that predict satisfaction with the education and the higher education opportunities of the children of Latino families? (3) What are the community perceptions that predict satisfaction with the education and the higher education opportunities of the children of Latino families? (4) How does the gender of the survey respondents relate to satisfaction with the education and the higher education opportunities of the children of Latino families? An ordinal logistic regression was used to identify predictors of satisfaction of Latino families. The results indicated that the forms of capital which were possessed by the survey respondents and by the Latino household were significantly associated with satisfaction with the education and the higher education opportunities of the children of Latino families. Community acceptance and being male were significantly related to satisfaction with the higher education opportunities of the children. Additionally, the survey respondents who lived in community A were negatively associated with satisfaction with the education of the children.

The Latina/o population has grown significantly in new settlement communities in the Midwest portion of the United States in the past 10 to 15 years (U.S. Census Bureau, 2010). The current study seeks to better understand the status of integration in 1 such community from the perspectives of immigrants and members of the host community. Using the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework as a theoretical base, we define integration as a product of the social, cultural, human, and economic assets possessed by immigrants and host community residents within a rural settlement community. We explore the status of integration based on how well-developed these capitals are among immigrants and host community residents. Focus groups were conducted with 28 participants (11 host community residents, 17 Latina/o immigrants) in a small farming community (population approximately 1,960; U.S. Census Bureau, 2010). Data reveal differing levels of social, cultural, human, and economic capitals as well as power disparities between immigrants and host community residents. The data indicate that, although nearly 15 years have passed since a large increase in the Latina/o immigrant population, this community is still largely unintegrated. Findings provide a basis for interventions to facilitate integration in rural settings, which must account for the experiences of both immigrants and host community residents. Limitations of the study and suggestions for psychological practice and future research in emerging immigrant settlement communities are discussed.
