ABSTRACT

Abstract Prior research has documented meaningful differences between school performance of immigrant and native students. Multicultural education has been associated with academic failure of foreign students. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of a set of psychosocial variables on the perceived academic achievement of first generation immigrant adolescents from public secondary schools in Northern Spain. Results showed that 46% of the variability in foreign students' perceived academic performance was explained by home-school cultural dissonance. We also explored the impact of acculturation orientation to separation, perception of discrimination from teachers, school adjustment, and psychological well-being in academic performance. Any multicultural education context should take into account psychosocial adjustment, given its influence on academic performance of all students.


Resumen Se han hallado diferencias significativas entre el rendimiento académico de los inmigrantes y el de los estudiantes nativos. Sin embargo, hay una escasa evidencia acerca de los aspectos psicosociales de este fenómeno. El objetivo de este estudio fue examinar el impacto de un conjunto de variables psicosociales: disonancia cultural y orientaciones de aculturación en el rendimiento académico percibido de adolescentes inmigrantes de primera generación de centros de Educación Secundaria en el Norte de España. Los resultados mostraron que alrededor del 46% de la variabilidad en el rendimiento era explicada por la disonancia cultural entre escuela y hogar. Cualquier contexto de educación multicultural ha de tomar en consideración el ajuste psicosocial, dada su influencia en el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes.

ABSTRACT

La predicción afectiva es un proceso de sobrestimación emocional previo a un acontecimiento. Suele asociarse a altas expectativas y a un coste socioemocional posterior. Para estudiar las diferencias entre las predicciones afectivas antes y después de la reagrupación familiar transnacional, se analizan a 188 madres inmigrantes residentes en España, bien expectantes por reagrupar, bien reagrupadas con sus hijos. Se hipotetiza y confirma la existencia de diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre las mujeres en situación antes y después en relación a satisfacción con la vida, control emocional, resiliencia, estrés y soledad social. Además, se, resalta la función positiva del pronóstico afectivo en el ajuste socio cognitivo de las madres transnacionales. Previamente al evento, éste media entre la satisfacción y la soledad social, y después de la reagrupación, tiene una función mediadora entre la satisfacción vital y el descontrol emocional asociado al encuentro lo que expresa su papel protector en la conciliación familiar.


Affective forecasting is an emotional process of overestimation of the future. Previous studies indicate that if these expectations are excessive and do not coincide with reality they can lead to a high socio emotional cost after the event. In order to analyze the differences in affective predictions before and after transnational reunification 188 immigrant mothers resident in Spain were divided in two groups according to whether or not they had regrouped with their children. Both groups were homogeneous in socio-demographics (age, number of children, education level, employment status, and reasons for migrating). The results confirm the existence of significant differences between emotional experience, before and after reunification. It was found that affective forecasting played a positive role before and after the event for the variables affecting socio-cognitive regulation in both groups (well-being, emotional regulation, resilience and stress), but in different manner during the process of transnational family reunification.
