Abstract

Ethnic-racial pride (positive feelings about one’s ethnic-racial group) is critical to healthy identity development across the lifespan. Research on ethnic-racial pride development among Latinx populations has focused exclusively on youth, without regard to pride development amongst parents and relations between pride within family units. Using multivariate Latent Growth Curve Modelling among 674 Mexican-origin youth and their parents (673 mothers; 437 fathers), the trajectory of youth’s pride from 5^th grade through emerging adulthood (14 years/12 waves of data) as well as relations with parental pride trajectories were examined. Respondents’ pride generally decreased from waves 1 to 7 (~age 11–17 in youth) and increased after wave 7. Youth’s and mothers’ trajectories were unrelated, but complex associations emerged between youth’s and fathers’ trajectories. This study supports the dynamic nature of ethnic-racial pride across distinct life stages and underscores the complex interplay of youth and parental pride trajectories, emphasizing the pivotal role parents may play in co-shaping identity development alongside their children.

The authors acknowledge that the growth model for fathers demonstrated a poor fit. Despite attempts to fit alternative models such as autoregressive models (without growth) and growth models with structural residuals (accounting for autocorrelation across time), the piecewise model remained the best fitting. While this is a limitation, the inclusion of fathers in the multivariate model was deemed essential due to their often overlooked presence in similar literature, and the authors desire not to contribute to this lack of representation of fathers in a rare case such as this when such rich longitudinal data are available.
