Abstract

Culturally relevant stressors and protective factors are vital to understanding and effectively supporting Native American/Alaska Native (NA/AN) college students' mental health and well-being. This study examined the theorized pathways among historical loss, well-being, psychological distress, and the proposed cultural buffer of ethnic identity in the indigenist stress-coping model (ISCM). Cross-sectional data were collected via online survey and analyzed using structural equation modeling. Participants were a national sample of 242 NA/AN college students. Participants were predominantly women (n = 185; 76%) and median age was 21 years. Partial support was found for the ISCM. Participants reported frequent thoughts of historical loss, which were associated with lower well-being and higher levels of psychological distress. Ethnic identity moderated the relationship between historical loss and well-being such that those with stronger ethnic identities reported a weaker relationship between historical loss and lower well-being. Results underscore the importance of culturally specific risk and protective factors in NA/AN college students' resiliency and inform needed interventions and systemic change in higher education.

历史流失对美国原住民大学生心理健康的影响：种族认同的保护作用。

文化相关的压力源和保护因素对于理解和有效支持美国原住民/阿拉斯加原住民（NA/AN）大学生的心理健康和幸福至关重要。本研究考察了贫困者压力应对模型（ISCM）中历史损失、幸福感、心理困扰和种族认同的文化缓冲之间的理论路径。通过在线调查收集横截面数据，并使用结构方程建模进行分析。参与者是242名NA/AN大学生的全国性样本。参与者主要是女性（n=185；76%），中位年龄为21岁。已找到对ISCM的部分支持。参与者报告说，他们经常有历史损失的想法，这与较低的幸福感和较高程度的心理痛苦有关。种族认同调节了历史损失和幸福感之间的关系，因此那些具有较强种族认同的人报告说，历史损失和较低幸福感之间关系较弱。研究结果强调了特定文化风险和保护因素对NA/AN大学生恢复能力的重要性，并为高等教育中所需的干预和系统性变革提供了信息。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
