“…Mother acceptance, however, was positively related with more anxiety for the European American and Latino groups but negatively associated with anxiety for the Mexican group. These results are largely consistent with the results of Luis et al (2008) but also highlight the need to tease out the effects of parenting by parent gender.…”

“…In the area of family processes, parenting that reflects over control of children, lacks in warmth and acceptance, and models maladaptive coping and catastrophizing have been consistently associated with clinical anxiety (Wood et al 2003) but not in Latino populations. Luis et al (2008) re-analyzed the family discussions of the Varela et al (2004) study to gauge parental levels of control and warmth and acceptance in relation to the children's anxiety reporting. They hypothesized that because controlling parenting in Latino culture is a valued socialization tool and may signal good and caring parenting it may not lead to negative appraisals for such parenting and ultimately anxiety in Latino children as it does for European American children.…”

“…There is plenty of evidence indicating that models of developmental psychopathology derived with white European American populations are not necessarily applicable to other cultural groups (Deater-Deckard and Dodge 1997; Ispa et al 2004;Lindahl and Malik 1999;Luis et al 2008). Beyond developing explicatory models of psychopathology with Latino youth, our understanding of how relevant cultural and contextual variables may serve to protect or place such children at greater risk will facilitate the development of psychosocial and cognitive interventions and preventive measures for anxiety disorders with this population.…”

This article reviews the literature on how culture influences anxiety in Latino youth. First, a review of cross-cultural variations in prevalence and measurement is presented. Then, the article focuses on how culture impacts the meaning and expression of anxiety. Specifically, we discuss the meaning and expression of anxiety, the impact of culture on anxiety at a societal level and through its effect on family and cognitive processes, and the influence of immigration and acculturation on anxiety. Finally, we propose recommendations on how to advance the literature in this area building on existing knowledge.

“…Family functioning and parenting factors have been found to vary between ethnic minority and majority groups, with ethnic minorities showing a greater risk of, amongst others, poor family functioning [5], parenting stress [6] and harsh parenting [7,8]. These differences can partly be explained by socioeconomic status [9].…”

Background: Studies have shown that, compared to native counterparts, preschoolers from ethnic minorities are at an increased risk of problem behaviour. Socio-economic factors only partly explain this increased risk. This study aimed to further unravel the differences in problem behaviour among ethnic minority and native preschoolers by examining the mediating role of family functioning and parenting factors.

“…The Physician's Checklist is a brief, seven-item, questionnaire that was developed specifically for this study, and is based on previous research (Lynch, Wildman, & Smucker, 1997;. It contains information on whether or not the physician has concerns about the psychological functioning of the child, parent, or other family member; whether the child is currently being treated for a behavioral problem; the nature of the physician's concerns; and what, if anything, they did about their concerns.…”

While most primary care pediatricians acknowledge the importance of identifying child behavior problems, fewer than 2% of children with a diagnosable psychological disorder are referred for mental health care in any given year. The present study examined the potential role of parental characteristics (parental affect, parenting style, and parenting self-efficacy) in pediatrician identification of child behavior problems, and determined whether these relationships differed across practices. Parents of 831 children between 2 and 16 years completed questionnaires regarding demographic information, their child's behavior, their affect, their parenting style, and their parenting self-efficacy. Pediatricians completed a brief questionnaire following visits in four community-based primary care practices in the Midwest. Logistic regressions controlling for child behavior and demographic predictors of pediatrician identification found that an authoritarian parenting style, in which parents yell or strongly negatively react to problem behavior, was negatively associated with likelihood of identification in the overall sample. However, the variables that were predictive of pediatrician identification differed depending on the specific practice. Parental characteristics can aid in understanding which children are likely to be identified by their pediatrician as having behavioral problems. The finding that practices differed on which variables were associated with pediatrician identification suggests the need to potentially individualize interventions to certain physicians and practices to improve identification of child behavior problems in primary care.
