Description

Among immigrant adolescents, the emergence of depressive symptoms may be influenced by their experiences as immigrants (Cleary et al., 2018). Parent-adolescent acculturative conflicts have been linked to depressive symptoms (Juang et al., 2018). Other findings link parental criticism to depressive symptoms (Castro & Rice, 2003). Our study examined the relationships among parent-adolescent acculturative conflict, parental criticism, and depressive symptoms among Korean immigrant adolescents. Mediation analyses indicated maternal criticism mediated the relationship between mother-adolescent acculturative conflict and depressive symptoms (β = 3.60, 95% CI [.62, 6.00]). Results suggest that parent-adolescent acculturative conflict may influence maternal criticism, which then impacts depressive symptoms.
