LARA, Laura. Latin American adolescents in Spain: Acculturation, behavioral autonomy, family conflicts and subjective well-being. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2017, vol.16, n.2, pp.26-36. ISSN 1657-9267.  https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.upsy16-2.alea.

In this study, we analyze the acculturation profiles of 331 Latin-American adolescents living in Spain, and their relation with their levels of behavioral autonomy, conflicts with their parents, and their subjective well-being. Results confirm the existence of four acculturation strategies: integration (n=113), separation (n=100), marginalization (n=63), and assimilation (n=55). Regarding differences between profiles, results from analyses of variance showed there were not statistical differences in adolescents’ behavioral autonomy, nor in the frequency of parent-adolescent conflict; there was in subjective well-being, being the marginalization profile the one that presenting less life satisfaction.

Palavras-chave : acculturation; adolescents; autonomy; conflicts; life satisfaction.
