En este estudio cualitativo, examinamos la religiosidad, el manejo con la adversidad, y facilitadores en la busqueda de diferentes tipos de servicios de salud mental en una muestra de 17 hombres y mujeres Latinos religiosos. El analisis tematico revelo que los participantes tendian a enfrentar problemas con metodos consistentes con sus practicas religiosas. La mayoria de los participantes, especialmente los de mayor edad, identificaron las practicas religiosas/ espirituales organizadas e informales como metodos importantes y preferidos al manejar la adversidad. Ademas, muchos participantes mostraron preferencias hacia los servicios religiosos que eran consistentes con sus creencias religiosas y complementaban sus formas existentes de lidiar con la adversidad. Finalmente, nuestro estudio indica que habia ideas comunes acerca de las circunstancias en las que los participantes buscan los servicios formales de salud mental, incluyendo sentirse comprendido, el experimentar problemas graves de salud mental, y el enfrentar problemas que se piensa son de origen biologico. Es importante destacar dos factores contextuales que surgieron relevantes para entender estas razones, que los participantes que compartieron estas opiniones tienden a ser mas aculturados y a tener mas educacion formal. Los resultados de este estudio ilustran como la religiosidad esta relacionada con el manejo de problemas y con las actitudes hacia los servicios formales de salud mental entre los Latinos religiosos, asi como la importancia del contexto en la comprension de estos procesos.

As immigration reform discussions reach a fever-pitch in Washington, DC, Dr. Melba J. T. Vasquez and the APA Presidential Task Force on Immigration released their report, Crossroads: The Psychology of Immigration in the New Century. Vasquez was the first Latina and first woman of color to be president of the American Psychological Association, and we commend her for commissioning this Task Force as part of her presidential initiatives. We also note the contributions of J. Manuel Casas to the report, as he is a member of the National Latina/o Psychological Association. This report is an important step for psychologists as we continue to balance the dialogues and discourse around immigration today in the United States. The report aims to describe the demography and experiences of immigrants and second-generation individuals, and takes a balanced approach in highlighting the strengths of this population and their contributions, as well as identifying key challenges, including issues of xenophobia, discrimination, and educational and clinical service limitations that adequately address their unique needs. The report underscores the importance of social, political, and economic contexts as a backdrop to understanding the challenges of immigrant communities, and provides a framework for reducing the educational, research, and applied disparities within psychology. Although the Task Force’s report focuses on all immigrant communities, this commentary highlights specific aspects that address the processes associated with Latina/o communities, while also identifying specific issues that warrant further consideration.
随着移民改革的讨论在华盛顿达到白热化,Melba J. T. Vasquez博士和APA总统移民特别工作组发布了他们的报告《十字路口:新世纪的移民心理学》。瓦斯奎兹是第一位担任美国心理协会主席的拉丁裔和第一位有色人种女性,我们赞扬她委托这个特别工作组作为她总统倡议的一部分。我们还注意到J. Manuel Casas对该报告的贡献,因为他是全国拉丁裔/非拉丁裔心理协会的成员。对于心理学家来说,这份报告是重要的一步,因为我们今天在美国继续平衡围绕移民的对话和话语。该报告旨在描述移民和第二代个人的人口统计和经历,并采取平衡的方法突出这一人口的优势及其贡献,并确定主要挑战,包括仇外心理、歧视以及充分满足其独特需求的教育和临床服务限制等问题。该报告强调了社会、政治和经济背景对于理解移民社区所面临的挑战的重要性,并为减少心理学领域的教育、研究和应用差异提供了一个框架。虽然工作队的报告侧重于所有移民社区,但本评论强调了与拉丁裔/非裔社区有关的进程的具体方面,同时也指出了值得进一步考虑的具体问题。

Los resultados de un analisis multivariado de regresion multiple revelaron que la auto eficacia en la universidad y percepciones de barreras hacia el futuro evaluado en Tiempo 1 significativamente predijeron metas educativas y promedios de calificaciones de la universidad evaluado en a Tiempo 2. De modo contrario a lo esperado por la hipotesis, la aculturacion “anglo” orientada y los intereses universitarios de los estudiantes no fueron predictores significantes de las variables criterio.
