In the California Youth Authority, Southeast Asian youth are over-represented. In addition, using suicide rates as indicators for depression, Asians aged fifteen to twenty-four are increasingly more at risk for suicide than their White counterparts. But delinquency and depression studies on Southeast Asian youth have not been well documented. Therefore, this study documented delinquent attitudes and depressive symptoms in Southeast Asian adolescents and examined how the factors of immigration, acculturation level, family conflict, and peer relations might be related. We tested four path models: Economic stress, Immigration acculturation level, Family conflict, and Peer moderator. Two-hundred and six Southeast Asian middle-school aged adolescents participated in this study. With the exception of the Economic stress model, the path models were significant and the following factors were positively related with the adolescent's delinquent attitudes and depressive behaviors: being in a family on welfare, having parents who did not speak English, needing the adolescent to translate for their parents, and having family conflict. In terms of the interaction between family conflict and peer type, we found that boys who reported high family conflict and whose friends "got into trouble" also reported the most depressive symptoms. In contrast, under the same conditions, girls in this sub-group of girls reported the least depressive symptoms. In terms of the interaction between family conflict and peer support, we generally found that high conflict with high peer support was related to higher depressive symptoms. Future research is needed to further understand the role that having the adolescent translate for the parent plays in adolescent adjustment and to better understand why the Southeast Asian boys and girls react differently to family conflict. Since adolescent translation is not specific to Southeast Asians alone, we wonder if our findings could be replicated in other minority groups. Our survey study could only present preliminary relationships. These findings need to be replicated and expanded if we are to develop more effective intervention programs for Southeast Asian youth.
