Group Experiences

We examined support and conflict with parents and close friends in a sample of ethnically diverse young adults (European-, Asian-, Cuban-, Latin-, and Mexican Americans). College students ( N = 495) completed six subscales from the Network of Relationships Inventory (NRI; Furman & Buhrmester, 1985). Friends were rated higher than parents on global support by Asian- and European Americans, but not by the three Latino groups. Regardless of ethnic group, friends and parents provided different types of support, and conflict with parents was more frequent than conflict with friends. No differences due to age, gender, or generation of immigration emerged for European-, Cuban-, or Asian Americans; differences emerged attributable to gender among Mexican Americans (support and conflict), and generation of immigration among Latin Americans (support). Findings reveal ethnic group similarities in how college students’ social relationships are structured, but also highlight unique within-group experiences.

This chapter addresses Mexican Americans’ attitudes about Mexican immigrants in the context of mass immigration. In addition to the boundary that exists between persons of Mexican heritage and non-Latinos, there is another important social boundary operating that highlights Mexican Americans’ understandings of their own ethnicity and American identity—the boundary between Mexican immigrants and themselves. Study respondents displayed a broad range of attitudes toward immigrants, illustrating the internal diversity of the Mexican American population, which runs contrary to their treatment in the media as a homogeneous ethnic group in terms of attitudes, politics, and voting. This chapter also demonstrates the underlying ideologies, philosophies, and rationales that respondents used to justify their immigration positions: whereas many framed their views based on American ideals, only a small minority framed them in terms of their ethnicity, basing their perceptions in an understanding of Mexican immigrants as co-ethnics.

Study Cohort

Abstract Cognitive impairment (CI) is an important risk factor for nursing home admission, but little is known about CI among older adults in Medicaid HCBS programs. Racial and ethnic group CI disparities are found among community-dwelling older adults, but these CI trends have not been explored in Medicaid HCBS populations. In this study, we determined how CI is associated with older adults’ racial and ethnic group identification and educational attainment in Connecticut’s Medicaid HCBS program. The study cohort includes program enrollees age >65 during January-March 2019 (N=3,520). CI measures include: Cognitive Performance Scale (CPS), ranging from 0-8 (cognitively intact to very severe impairment); and a dichotomous measure incorporating Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia diagnosis (ADRD) and CPS score signifying moderate or severe CI. Study cohort characteristics: 75.7% female; age, mean(sd)=79.1(8.2); Non-Hispanic White=47.8%; Non-Hispanic Black=15.9%; Non-Hispanic Other=2.7%; Hispanic=33.6%; HS education=21.7%; mean(sd) CPS score=2.7(1.9); 36.1% with ADRD/high CPS2 score. In multivariate regression models adjusting for age and sex, CPS scores were not independently associated with race and ethnicity, and the likelihood of having ADRD/high CPS scores did not differ by race and ethnicity (all p-values >0.05). In these same models, persons with more than high school education had significantly lower CPS scores (b=-.12; p<.001), and significantly lower likelihood of having ADRD/high CPS scores (AOR=0.61; p<.001), than persons with less than high school education. We conclude that educational level is independently associated with CI, but race and ethnicity are not in this cohort. Policy and practice implications will be discussed.

The One

Pursuing a research theme similar to the one in the previous article by Russo, this study compares immigrant and non-immigrant retention of the social, but not the cultural characteristics of the ethnic pattern. The findings point in the same direction: some American reared members of the Chaldean ethnic group apparently continue to identify with their ethnic community after they have dropped many other aspects of their socio-cultural life-style. It appears that the pattern exhibited by the Italians in New York City and the Iraqi Chaldeans in Detroit is a common one and it suggests a further line of research into the sociopsychological variables supporting group identification in American society.
