Note.
Overall F column is the Cluster × Dimension F value for cultural orientations.
Higher values correspond to more traditional gender role attitudes.
Adolescents whose father was not of Mexican origin were not included.
Warmth with mothers and fathers were analyzed as a within-groups factor, and findings revealed cluster group differences in the average of mothers’ and fathers’ reports of warmth. The Cluster Group × Parent (Mother vs. Father) interaction was not significant.
