Unpacking Acculturation: Cultural Orientations and Educational Attainment Among Mexican-Origin Youth

---

Given educational risks facing Mexican-origin children of immigrant parents, it is important to understand how aspects of the acculturation process influence Mexican-origin youth’s educational success. Drawing from selective assimilation theory, this study examined howcultural orientations across myriad facets of acculturationwere associated with the educational attainment of secondgeneration
Mexican immigrant youth. The sample included 755 Mexican-origin youth (50% female) in the ‘‘Children
of Immigrants Longitudinal Study.’’ Results from structural equation models indicated that youth reporting greater facility in the English language and a stronger value on familism attained higher levels of education in young adulthood than did other youth. Parents’ U.S. social ties and youth’s value on early paid work were associated with less educational attainment. Innovative findings from this
study indicate the importance of considering both Mexican and American cultural orientations across myriad facets of acculturation for understanding second-generation immigrant Mexican youth’s educational attainment.
