Psychological distress in relation to the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act was examined among 90 Mexican-American and Mexican women divided into three groups (n = 30 each): undocumented immigrants who did not qualify for amnesty, undocumented immigrants who qualified for amnesty, and legal residents of the United States of Mexican descent. Results indicate that the undocumented immigrants who did not qualify for amnesty obtained significantly higher scores on hostility. Contrary to prediction, undocumented immigrants who qualified for amnesty obtained lower scores in anxiety (a statistical trend) than did the other two groups. No differences in global psychological distress were found between the undocumented immigrants and the legal residents.
针对1986年《移民改革与控制法案》，研究人员对90名墨西哥裔美国女性和墨西哥女性进行了调查，她们被分为三组（每组n = 30）：不符合大赦条件的无证移民、符合大赦条件的无证移民以及墨西哥裔美国合法居民。结果表明，不符合大赦条件的无证移民在敌意方面得分显著更高。与预测相反，符合大赦条件的无证移民在焦虑方面（一种统计趋势）得分低于其他两组。无证移民和合法居民在总体心理困扰方面未发现差异。
