Abstract:
Immigration and globalization are at historic highs, making biculturalism, whether by way of immigration-based proximal acculturation or globalization-based remote acculturation, increasingly commonplace for adolescents. Using focus group interviews, this qualitative study explored Latinx adolescents’ ( n = 19, 13-19 years) views of proximal biculturalism in the United States, and Jamaican adolescents’ ( n = 15, 13-18 years) views of remote biculturalism in Jamaica in terms of the existence, adaptive value, and challenges of biculturalism. Findings of thematic analyses revealed that both groups of adolescents viewed biculturalism as possible in their respective contexts although differences in processes and mechanisms were evident. In addition, youth in both contexts saw biculturalism as beneficial for social and practical reasons. Finally, both groups acknowledged challenges related to biculturalism; however, internal conflicts based on physical appearance was a theme of discussion only among U.S. Latinxs, whereas problems fitting in were primary concerns for Jamaicans. Studying the similarities (and differences) between proximal and remote biculturalism can enrich biculturalism theory, and doing so from the adolescent point of view has important practical value by providing a fuller understanding of the experience of biculturalism among youth who are developing ethnic/cultural identities and planning their futures in diversifying cultural environments.

Abstract:
The Offer Self-image Questionnaire was used to assess the self-image of 141 Jamaican adolescents attending three types of secondary (High, Technical, and New Secondary) schools in Jamaica. Owing to the different status given each type of school, differences among students' self-perceptions were hypothesized as a function of the type of secondary school they attended. Analysis showed significant differences on dimensions of the self-image of Jamaican adolescents relative to the hierarchical status afforded their respective schools. Adolescents attending the more prestigious (High) schools scored significantly better than peers from the less prestigious Technical and New Secondary schools on eight self-image dimensions of impulse control, emotional tone, social relationships, morals, sexual attitudes, vocational and educational goals, emotional health, and superior adjustment. Students from Technical schools had significantly better adjustment scores than New Secondary students on social relationships, sexual attitudes, and emotional health. Results are discussed with regard to the Jamaican cultural, educational and economic setting. International implications are noted.

Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to examine the body perception of 122 Jamaican adolescent girls. The study is a part of a larger project investigating the psychosocial adjustment of these adolescents. Included in the survey were items asking for demographic information such as height, weight, and age. In addition, subjects were asked to indicate whether they were pregnant and whether they considered themselves under- or overweight. Using the standard system of desirable weight the subjects' perceptions of whether they were under- or overweight were compared with their actual weights. In general, Jamaican adolescent girls had accurate perceptions of their body size and weight.

Abstract:
Twenty-first century globalization forces of technology and trade transport cultures across territorial borders. Cultural exchange now occurs in the absence of first-hand continuous contact that accompanies population migration. We propose and test a modern type of acculturation— remote acculturation—associated with indirect and/or intermittent contact between geographically separate groups. Our findings uncover indicators of remote acculturation in behavior, identity, family values, intergenerational discrepancies, and parent–adolescent conflict among families from one culture (Jamaican Islanders) to a geographically separate culture (European American) that emulate traditional acculturation of emigrants from the same ethnic group (Jamaican Immigrants) now settled in that foreign nation (United States of America).

Abstract:
Os objetivos deste estudo consistiram em: verificar as concepções de sexualidade de adolescentes que passaram por violência sexual comparando as que não passaram e avaliar se os dois grupos de adolescentes (vítimas e não vítimas) diferiam quanto aos escores no Inventário de Depressão. A pesquisa foi realizada com 16 adolescentes do sexo feminino, sendo oito jovens vítimas de violência sexual, e outras oito jovens que jamais passaram por experiência deste abuso. Na maioria dos casos o agressor era próximo da vítima e houve a consumação do ato sexual vaginal. Verificou-se que as adolescentes que passaram por violência sexual, contrastando com as demais, demonstravam medo quanto a se envolverem com indivíduo do sexo oposto e também do ato sexual. Neste grupo foram encontradas idéias equivocadas acerca da sexualidade. Quanto a se sentir à vontade diante de um indivíduo do sexo oposto, todas as vítimas de abuso declararam que não se sentiam.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between single-mother migration and social and emotional adjustment in Jamaican adolescents, and to ascertain what factors influenced adolescent adjustment. The participants were 187 Jamaican adolescents ages 13 to 17 years, from five high schools and two junior high schools from a rural parish. There were 64 males and 123 females. The participants were divided into two groups – migrant and non-migrant. There were 100 participants in the migrant group and 87 in the non-migrant. Multivariate analyses of variance (MANOVA) and regression analyses revealed that while there were no significant differences between the groups in social adjustment, the migrant group reported higher self-esteem and lower depression than the non-migrant group, and adolescent adjustment was predicted by family support and single-mother absence. Implications for future research suggest the utilization of a mixed method approach to examine adolescent adjustment and point to the need for further research to reinforce and expand the findings of this study.
