Family, Culture, Gender, and Mexican American Adolescents’ Academic Success

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Gender Roles in Immigrant Families

Part of the book series: Advances in Immigrant Family Research ((ADIMFAMRES))

Abstract

Mexican American adolescents experience significant barriers to educational success in the United States. It is important to understand the role that families play in counteracting these impediments. This chapter reviews theory and evidence regarding family influences on MA adolescents’ academic engagement and performance. We examine three vectors of influence: family members’ cultural orientations, families’ socioeconomic contexts, and parenting and family relationships. In keeping with the purpose of this volume, we highlight how gender may moderate these influences in Mexican American families. We also identify directions for future research and intervention development.
