Few studies have examined the psychosocial mechanisms through which self-reported discrimination may influence the health status of Latinos.
This study examined the mediating role of subjective social status in the USA and psychological distress on the relation between everyday discrimination and self-rated physical health, and the moderating role of gender and ethnicity.
A US population-based sample of Latinos (N = 2,554) was drawn from the National Latino and Asian American Study. Respondents completed measures of everyday discrimination, subjective social status, psychological distress, and self-rated physical health.
Path analysis revealed that among the total sample, subjective social status and psychological distress sequentially mediated the effect of everyday discrimination on self-rated physical health. Psychological distress was a more consistent mediator across Latino subgroups. Gender and ethnicity moderated the mediation model.
This study provides a systematic examination of how psychosocial mechanisms may operate differently or similarly across Latino subgroups.
很少有研究探讨自我报告的歧视如何通过心理社会机制影响拉丁裔的健康状况。
本研究在美国，检验主观社会地位在日常歧视与自我报告的身体健康之间的关系中的中介作用和心理困扰，以及性别和种族的调节作用。
从全国拉丁裔和亚裔美国人研究中抽取了一个基于美国人口的拉丁裔样本（N=2554）。受访者完成了日常歧视、主观社会地位、心理困扰和自我报告的身体健康状况的测量。
路径分析显示，在总样本中，主观社会地位和心理困扰依次中介了日常歧视对自我报告的身体健康的影响。心理困扰在拉丁裔亚群中是一个更一致的中介因素。性别和种族调节了中介模型。
本研究系统地考察了心理社会机制如何在拉丁裔亚群中以不同或相似的方式运作。
