Abstract

ABSTRACT This study used data from the first wave of the Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study (CILS) [Portes, A., & Rumbaut, R. G. (2008). Children of immigrants longitudinal study (CILS). Ann Arbor, MI: Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research] to examine cross-cultural differences and similarities in risk and protective factors of depression in a sample of 1827 Cuban and Indochinese adolescents aged from 13 to 16 years old: 1197 Cubans and 630 Indochinese. The results revealed that discrimination, poor family economic situation, sex, and age were risk factors of depression. English language speaking, parental love, parental attention, and living with both parents were protective factors against depression. There was a significant interaction association between sex and ethnic groups with depression and a significant interaction association between age and ethnic groups with depression. The results relating to cross-cultural differences and similarities in risk and protective factors of depression between ethnic immigrant adolescents are discussed, and recommendations for school counsellors, social workers, and mental health service providers are highlighted.

本研究使用了第一波移民子女纵向研究(CILS)的数据[Portes, A.， & Rumbaut, R. G.(2008)]。移民子女纵向研究。结果显示，歧视、家庭经济条件差、性别和年龄是抑郁症的危险因素。说英语、父母的爱、父母的关注以及与父母双方生活在一起都是预防抑郁症的保护因素。性别和种族与抑郁有显著的交互作用，年龄和种族与抑郁有显著的交互作用。本文讨论了族裔移民青少年抑郁风险和保护因素的跨文化异同，并对学校辅导员、社会工作者和心理健康服务提供者提出了建议。

期刊介绍： This title has ceased (2018). This important peer-review journal provides an innovative forum, both international and multidisciplinary, for addressing cross-cultural issues and mental health. Culture as it comes to bear on mental health is a rapidly expanding area of inquiry and research within psychiatry and psychology, and other related fields such as social work, with important implications for practice in the global context. The journal is an essential resource for health care professionals working in the field of cross-cultural mental health.Readership includes psychiatrists, psychologists, medical anthropologists, medical sociologists, psychiatric nurses and social workers, general practitioners and other mental health professionals interested in the area. The International Journal of Culture and Mental Health publishes original empirical research, review papers and theoretical articles in the fields of cross-cultural psychiatry and psychology. Contributions from the fields of medical anthropology and medical sociology are particularly welcome. A continuing dialogue between members of various disciplines in various fields is encouraged. The aim of the journal is to encourage its readers to think about various issues which have clouded cross-cultural development of ideas. The journal lays special emphasis on developing further links between medical anthropology, medical sociology, clinical psychiatry and psychology, and implications of the findings on service provisions. The journal is published four times a year. The style of reference is Harvard. All research articles in this journal, including those in special issues, special sections or supplements, have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two independent referees.
