“…As such, it is also important to understand whether the socialization and consequences of BI differ across sociocultural groups living in North American countries. There is some evidence suggesting that findings may be generalizable to at least some cultural groups, particularly if their children are evaluated by the dominant cultural norms (Carlo, Cheah, Conejo, & Cho, 2022). For example, similar to White American children, Asian immigrant children's temperamental shyness was associated with more anxious‐withdrawn behaviors, particularly if they received low praise from their mothers, and anxious‐withdrawn behavior, in turn, was associated with peer exclusion and passive responses to bullying (Gao et al., 2021), and decreased prosociality and leadership skills (Balkaya, Cheah, Yu, Hart, & Sun, 2018).…”

Behavioral Inhibition is a temperament identified in the first years of life that enhances the risk for development of anxiety during late childhood and adolescence. Amongst children characterized with this temperament, only around 40 percent go on to develop anxiety disorders, meaning that more than half of these children do not. Over the past 20 years, research has documented within-child and socio-contextual factors that support differing developmental pathways. This review provides a historical perspective on the research documenting the origins of this temperament, its biological correlates, and the factors that enhance or mitigate risk for development of anxiety. We review as well, research findings from two longitudinal cohorts that have identified moderators of behavioral inhibition in understanding pathways to anxiety. Research on these moderators has led us to develop the Detection and Dual Control (DDC) framework to understand differing developmental trajectories among behaviorally inhibited children. In this review, we use this framework to explain why and how specific cognitive and socio-contextual factors influence differential pathways to anxiety versus resilience.

“…Most of these pressures come from children's frequent exposure to U.S. cultural values in spaces such as school, causing U.S. Latine children to adapt to a culture that is different from that of their ethnic origin families. Because of these unique stressors associated with navigating two cultures, U.S. Latine children also face developmental challenges related to their psychosocial development that are different than European American children, including discrimination and prejudice (Carlo et al, 2022).…”

“…Studies document that acculturation levels affect both maternal behavior and child-related outcomes (Carlo et al, 2022; Schwartz et al, 2010). Latine mothers who are less acculturated (e.g., fluent Spanish speaking) use more authoritarian practices (e.g., high demandingness, strict, rigid, relatively low warmth parenting) than Latine mothers who are more acculturated.…”

“…Marín and Gamba (2003) report that Latine children who use English as their predominant language display less traditional values than their native-speaking and bilingual counterparts. Other researchers yield evidence that more acculturated Latine children exhibit more negative overall family functioning and child developmental outcomes (Carlo et al, 2022; Martinez, 2006; Schwartz et al, 2013; Smokowski & Bacallao, 2006).…”

Objectives: Familismo and respeto are traditional Latine values often taught to U.S. Latine children by their caregivers. Deference to authority figures and restraint from defiance to such figures are also taught. Despite the central role of these as markers of Latine ethnic identity and their relevance to children's health and wellbeing, little is known on how these traditional cultural values are socialized and whether differences exist in these values between English-speaking and Spanish-speaking U.S. Latine mothers and between boys and girls. We examined expressions of familismo, respeto, deference, and defiance in conversations of lowincome, U.S. Mexican mothers and their children as a function of mothers' acculturative status and children's gender. Method: One hundred thirty-eight video-recorded U.S. Mexican mother-child conversations (65 girls; age: M = 10.5 years, SD = 0.53) were transcribed and coded to obtain indices of respeto, familismo, deference, and defiance. There were 70 Spanish-speaking mothers and 68 Englishspeaking mothers (age: M = 34.9 years, SD = 5.8) from the Early Head Start Research and Evaluation project. Results: Spanish-speaking children were more deferent than English-speaking children. Englishspeaking children were more defiant. There were no group differences, however, in familism and respect. Conclusions: The findings advance a more nuanced conceptual framework of cultural values socialization that is sensitive to acculturative status in U.S. Latine populations and can inform the development of effective intervention efforts (e.g., parenting education programs) aimed at supporting enculturative practices that can enhance U.S. Latine children's health and well-being. Public Significance StatementAlthough there is prior evidence that Latine parents' cultural values (e.g., familism, respect) are associated with their children's cultural values, there is less evidence on how parents and children converse about these traditional cultural values and on defiance and deference behaviors. The present study yields evidence that, during conversations on everyday conflict, there are acculturative status effects on deference and defiance but no such effects on familism and respect. These findings inform the development of more comprehensive cultural socialization theories of U.S. Latine children's development.
