The current study investigated the combined influence of racial discrimination experiences and school Latine concentration on 7th-to-10th-grade changes in ethnic-racial identity (ERI; affirmation, exploration, resolution) for a community-recruited, southwestern sample of United States (U.S.) Mexican-heritage adolescents. Whether school Latine concentration moderated associations between racial discrimination and ERI was also assessed. Youth (N = 749; 7th: Mage = 12.80; 10th: Mage = 15.84; 48.9% female) self-reported experiences of peer and teacher racial discrimination in school settings in 7th grade and their ERI affirmation, exploration, and resolution in 7th and 10th grades. School Latine concentration data were publicly available. Across the transition to high school (7th to 10th grades), findings indicated that peer racial discrimination predicted increased exploration and resolution, and school Latine concentration predicted increased exploration. No associations were found with teacher racial discrimination and school Latine concentration was not a significant moderator. For U.S. Mexican-heritage youth, exposure to peer racial discrimination and greater access to co-ethnic peers in middle school may encourage the exploration of ethnicity-race, with peer racial discrimination also prompting a more resolved ERI. Findings help elucidate the role of school settings and experiences on ERI formation among the fastest-growing youth population in the U.S.

Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) present in older adults with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other dementias are related to mortality. Research on the relationship between NPS and mortality in a non-dementia population is limited. This study examines NPS as a predictor of six-year mortality among community dwelling Mexican Americans aged 80 years and older. Data included 466 cognitively normal participants from Wave 7 of the Hispanic Established Population for the Epidemiological Study of Elderly. NPS were measured using the Neuropsychiatric inventory (NPI). Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) of mortality. The HR of death at 6 years was 1.02 (95% Confidence Interval-CI [1.00, 1.04]) as a function of NPI score and 1.09 (95% CI [1.02, 1.17]) for the number of NPI conditions, controlling for demographic and health characteristics. Apathy, irritability, and aberrant motor behavior were all independently predictors of mortality. NPS may be modifiable risk factors to increase survival time or may be indicative of underlying health problems. NPS may be related to underlying health conditions among older adults with normal cognitive functioning.

Objectives: To examine the psychometric properties of several wellbeing scales among Latinos in the US, most of which have never been validated in a US-Latino population.
Design: We leveraged secondary baseline data from a one-arm mHealth trial on dementia caregiver support. We included 100 responses for caregiver-focused scales and 88 responses for care recipient-focused scales. Scales included the Neuropsychiatric Inventory Questionnaire Severity and Distress scales, Six-item Zarit Burden Inventory, Ten-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale, Quality of Life in Alzheimer's Disease, and Single-item Satisfaction With Life Scale. We calculated concurrent validity using Pearson and Spearman correlations and expected correlations amongst all variables in line with the Stress Process Framework. We calculated internal consistency reliability using Cronbach's alpha.
Results: All concurrent validity correlations followed the expected directionality, with 19/21 inter-scale correlations in the total sample reaching statistical significance (p<0.05), and 17/21 reaching at least a low correlation (0.3). Cronbach's alpha ranged from 0.832 to 0.879 in all scales in the total sample.
Conclusion: The English and Spanish caregiver-administered scales tested in this manuscript have good psychometric properties among Latinos. These are now appropriately available for use among US Latinos in research and clinical contexts.

Restrictive immigration policies and enforcement practices are associated with poor health and mental health outcomes among Latinx immigrants. Over the last two decades, the state of California has enacted over 20 pro-integration immigration policies to protect and enhance the quality of life for immigrants. Accounting for the nested structure of immigration policy, this study examined the relationship between immigrants’ perceptions of integration and health. Participants originated primarily from Mexico ( N = 137). Hierarchical regression analysis was used to evaluate the contribution of variables in sequential blocks. While controlling for demographics, and immigration characteristics, we assessed the relationship between California immigration policy knowledge, perceived immigrant integration, threat of deportation, and two indicators of health—psychological distress and self-rated health. Perceived immigrant integration was associated with lower levels of psychological distress and better self-rated health. The threat of deportation was associated with a decline in self-rated health and higher levels of psychological distress. Policy advocacy and access to health care are needed to reduce the harmful effects of enforcement practices.

We examined the association of anticipatory negative consequences related to the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of Latinx young adults. Data are from a community-based study with first- and second-generation immigrant, Latinx young adults (18–26 years old). Participants completed an online survey about mental health and anticipated personal and family-related consequences due to the pandemic. Regression models examined the effects of anticipated consequences on risk of clinically significant mental health symptoms. Latinx young adults anticipated moderate levels of negative consequences during the pandemic, including expected illness, economic strain, and psychosocial concerns. Anticipating psychosocial concerns was associated with serious psychological distress, whereas anticipating economic hardship had a limited effect on somatization and anxiety symptoms. Probability of contracting COVID-19 illness was not associated with mental health symptoms. Addressing the anticipation of negative consequences is important because these consequences threaten mental health and wellbeing. Strategies are needed to alleviate continuing pandemic-related stressors among Latinx communities to promote mental health.

Mental health disparities among Latino sexual minority men (LSMM) are exacerbated by un(der)treated mental health needs. This study sought to establish the factor structure of the Cultural Attitudes Toward Healthcare and Mental Illness Questionnaire (CAHMIQ) and examine measurement invariance across nativity (born in vs. outside the continental U.S.). Participants included 290 LSMM in South Florida. Confirmatory factor analysis examined the factor structure of CAHMIQ and measurement invariance examined equivalence across LSMM born outside (51.4%) and inside (48.3%) the continental U.S. The second-order factor model showed an acceptable fit (CFI/RMSEA = .91/.03) and consisted of first-ordered factors representing manifest indicators of causes and supports for mental health. Measurement invariance results suggest that the CAHMIQ performs equivalently across nativity groups (Δχ2(18) = 16.941, p = .5272). The CAHMIQ may be used among both nativity groups to understand attitudes toward healthcare and mental illness and inform LSMMs' engagement in mental health treatment.
拉丁裔性少数男性（LSMM）的心理健康差异因心理健康需求治疗不足而加剧。本研究旨在建立对医疗保健和精神疾病的文化态度问卷（CAHMIQ）的因素结构，并检验不同出生地（出生在美国大陆与非美国大陆）的测量不变性。参与者包括南佛罗里达州的290名LSMM。验证性因子分析检验了CAHMIQ的因子结构，测量不变性检验了在美国大陆以外出生的LSMM（51.4%）和在美国大陆出生的LSMM（48.3%）之间的等价性。二阶因子模型显示了可接受的拟合（CFI/RMSEA = .91/.03），由代表心理健康原因和支持的明显指标的一阶因子组成。测量不变性结果表明，CAHMIQ在不同的出生群体中表现相同（Δχ2(18) = 16.941, p = .5272）。CAHMIQ可用于了解两个出生群体对医疗保健和精神疾病的态度，并为lsmm参与精神健康治疗提供信息。

There is a lack of research on the maternal guilt of working Latina mothers. A grounded theory methodology study on this topic was conducted with 12 Latina mothers in the South Central region of the United States. Data analysis revealed five themes: the Compensatory Parenting Trap (parenting behaviors that attempt to make up for the absence of mothers by indulging their children in ways that violate cultural norms), Proximity Desire (a yearning to be physically close in location to one’s children to compensate for guilt from separation), Ultimate Caregiver Comparison (the deifying of past generations of self-sacrificing family members as superior mothers against whom Latina mothers deem themselves failures), Familismo Paradox (the attempt to honor conflicting cultural norms to be a self-sacrificing mother who is also educated and financially secure), and Redefining Cultural Norms (reaction to the violation of cultural norms among working Latina mothers that involves expanding cultural expectations of gender in parenting). Results indicated that working Latina mothers face double binds in gender and cultural expectations that contribute to feelings of maternal guilt, as reflected in the above themes. Latina mothers demonstrate resilience in responding to this tension by restructuring cultural norms to alleviate guilt and protect their children from inheriting the same stressors.

To explore the ways in which Latinx older siblings support younger siblings during shared reading, researchers investigated the following question with three Latinx families in the U.S.: How are older siblings modeling and intentionally supporting focal children’s cognitive self-regulation in the context of shared reading? Analyses of video recorded interactions across six visits revealed that older siblings intentionally supported focal children’s cognitive self-regulation by fostering autonomy and choice through the use of verbal and nonverbal cues to guide attention, using prosody to engage their sibling, and to initiate reading beyond resistance, and vicarious modeling of metacognitive processes by engaging in self-corrections and demonstrating positive affect during shared reading interactions. Findings highlight the importance of older siblings, particularly sisters, as key figures in the sociocultural context of development for Latinx younger siblings in the U.S.

This study examines the cumulative effects of negative context of reception (NCR), traditional Latino gender norms, and acculturation on depressive symptoms among adult Latino immigrant men, and if levels of acculturation and traditional Latino gender norms moderated associations between NCR and depressive symptoms in the study sample. Hierarchical Multiple Regression (HMR) and moderation analyses were conducted on a cross-sectional sample of 280 Latino men. Predictor variables were entered into the HMR model: (1) demographic variables, (2) perceived stress, (3) acculturation and gender norms, and (4) NCR. Subsequently, moderation analysis was conducted using PROCESS v3.2 model 1. 19% of the variance of depressive symptoms was explained by all predictor variables entered in the HMR model. Moderation analyses revealed significant interaction effects with machismo (exacerbating) and Hispanicism (attenuating) the association between NCR and depressive symptoms. Study findings have implications for culturally appropriate interventions that target gender norms among Latino immigrant men.

Study findings have implications for culturally appropriate interventions that target gender norms among Latino immigrant men.","PeriodicalId":13072,"journal":{"name":"Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences","volume":"18 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138601056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this study was to develop the Hispanic Optimism and Personal Expectancy (HOPE), a measure of optimism related to the concept of the American Dream. This measure assesses beliefs that are shared by Hispanic/Latinx immigrants and non-immigrants about opportunities for advancement in the United States. Based on focus groups consisting of both immigrant and non-immigrant Hispanic/Latinx participants ( n = 93), twenty four (24) items for the measure were created from qualitative interviews. Separate exploratory ( n = 174) and confirmatory ( n = 181) factor analysis supported three factors: Hope for a better life, for freedom & security, and for economic opportunity. Results provided empirical support for the HOPE. A final set of sixteen (16) items are included in the HOPE measure. This measure can benefit researchers or counselors who work with Hispanic/Latinx immigrants to understand individual expectancies and barriers toward achieving their American Dream. We discuss implications for research and potential conceptions of U.S. meritocracy as a potential myth for minority and immigrant groups.
