Este estudio exploratorio examino experiencias de Latina/os con microagresiones, y considero si esta discriminacion se manifiesta en maneras diferentes basadas en genero, grupo etnico, o natividad con 311 Latina/o Americanas/os. Analisis descriptivas de experiencias con microagresiones fueron examinadas con un analisis multivariado de varianza y una serie de pruebas-T. Los resultados mostraron diferencias significantes en experiencias con microagresiones: las mujeres pasaron mas microagresiones en el lugar de trabajo y escolar; Dominicanas/os auto-identificados fueron mas probable de tener experiencias de ser exotizadas/os; y puertorriquenos mas probables de ser tratados como ciudadanos de segunda clase o criminales. Los resultados tambien mostraron que jovenes Latinas/os, y esos con bajos niveles de educacion, fueron mas probables de tener experiencias de micro-invalidacion. Aunque los resultados apoyan estudios previos que indican que minorias raciales y etnicas tienen experiencias de micoagresiones, el estudio presente extiende esta literatura academica mostrando el papel que tiene las diferencias dentro del grupo en las experiencias de Latina/o-Americanas/os con microagresiones. Se discuten las implicaciones para la investigacion y la literatura academica de microagresiones.

Discrimination is considered a contextual risk factor for ethnic minority youth, but social support provided in the same context may function to offset the risk or encourage adaptive responses. Per the integrative model of child development (Garcia Coll et al., 1996), experiences in the school, familial, and community settings can foster the development of cognitive, social, and emotional competencies in the presence of racism and discrimination. The current study evaluated how perceptions of discrimination and support in the school setting influenced school belonging, college-going self-efficacy, and depressive symptoms in a sample of Latino youth (N = 179). We distinguished between peers and nonparental adults as the sources of discrimination and support. Overall, peer support was associated with all three outcomes, suggesting peers as a positive resource. Adult support was only significant in the school belonging model. Findings supported a limited moderating role for peer support on peer discrimination, but only for the depressive symptoms outcome. Implications and suggestions for mental health practitioners are offered.
歧视被认为是少数民族青年的环境风险因素,但在相同的环境中提供的社会支持可能会抵消风险或鼓励适应性反应。根据儿童发展的综合模型(Garcia Coll et al., 1996),在种族主义和歧视存在的情况下,学校、家庭和社区环境中的经历可以促进认知、社会和情感能力的发展。目前的研究评估了在学校环境中对歧视和支持的感知如何影响拉丁裔青年的学校归属感、大学自我效能感和抑郁症状(N = 179)。我们区分了同伴和非父母的成年人作为歧视和支持的来源。总体而言,同伴支持与所有三个结果都相关,表明同伴是一种积极的资源。成人支持仅在学校归属模型中有显著意义。研究结果支持同伴支持对同伴歧视有有限的调节作用,但仅对抑郁症状结果有调节作用。为心理健康从业者提供了启示和建议。

Un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales fue utilizado para deteriminar las relaciones entre la retencion de la herencia cultural (es decir, la adhesion a los valores de la cultura Latina, la identidad etnica y la autoestima colectiva), la autoestima personal, la satisfaccion con la vida y el exito academico de 446 estudiantes universitarios mexico-americanos. Los resultados indicaron que el modelo de la hipotesis de ajuste a los datos. Como hipotesis, la autoestima personal mediado parcialmente la relacion entre la conservacion de la herencia cultura y la satisfaccion con la vida. Especificamente, la retencion de la herencia cultural predijo la autoestima personal; y la retencion de la herencia cultural y la autoestima personal predijeron la satisfaccion con la vida. El efecto mediado por la retencion de la herencia cultural para la satisfaccion con la vida a traves de la autoestima personal tambien fue significativa. La relacion de la autoestima personal al bienestar subjetivo fue significativa en ambos sexos, pero mas fuerte para las mujeres que resultan en un efecto mediado mas fuerte de la retencion de la herencia cultural en la satisfaccion con la vida de las mujeres que en los hombres. En contra de la hipotesis, el exito academico no fue predicha por la satisfaccion con la vida y por lo tanto, no indirectamente relacionados con la retencion de la herencia cultural o la autoestima personal. En general, la retencion de la herencia cultura predijo niveles mas altos tanto de la autoestima personal y la satisfaccion con la vida. El aumento de la autoestima personal predijo un mayor bienestar subjetivo. El modelo hipotetico explico 28% de la varianza en la satisfaccion con la vida.

La discriminación percibida se ha relacionado con resultados negativos de salud mental en la población latina, lo cual confirma la necesidad de aclarar los mecanismos de su influencia. Utilizando un muestreo de adolescentes latinos (n 395), el estudio actual examinó la relación entre la discriminación percibida y dos resultados psicosociales: la depresión y el rendimiento académico. También se evaluaron los efectos potenciales de mediador y moderador. Los resultados indicaron que el control abandonado mediaba la relación entre la discriminación percibida y la depresión, al igual que el auto-reporte de rendimiento académico. Ningún efecto moderador se detectó respecto a la atribución de discriminación (racial/étnica contra otra). También, ningunos efectos moderadores se detectaron respecto a la aculturación estadounidense o la natividad en EEUU. Estos resultados corresponden a estudios anteriores en que se cita los efectos nocivos de la discriminación en el desenvolvimiento de la juventud latina, y sugieren que los resultados de la discriminación en la juventud latina son independientes de factores culturales específicos.

Research on mental health of refugee children frequently highlights the limitations of Western approaches to understand the reality of this population. The aim of this study was to explore the psychological needs of 2 refugee children, using a storytelling approach centered on needs. It combined the use of 2 projective tools, a “flower of needs” and a story, to explore the psychological needs of children in a safe and culturally sensitive way. This research sought to (a) identify the needs that children consider to be the most important through the construction of a flower of needs and (b) identify the needs that children address more frequently through the work with the story. For this purpose, a multiple case study design was conducted with 2 Latino/a children recruited from refugee families who had recently arrived in Canada. The children participated in 4 storytelling sessions. Data on the case presentation were collected from a semistructured interview with the parents. Data on the psychological needs exploration were collected from the children’s work with the flower of needs and the story across sessions. The results showed that both children identified physical comfort, connection, and peace as the most important psychological needs using the flower of needs. Connection, peace, and familiarity were the needs more frequently addressed working with the story. The results illustrate the potential of the flower of needs to assess needs and confirm the utility of storytelling to encourage a deep exploration of psychological needs with refugee children.
