The current study examined the effect of immigrant status, acculturation, and the interaction of acculturation and immigrant status on self-reported victimization in the United States among Latino women, including physical assault, sexual assault, stalking, and threatened violence. In addition, immigrant status, acculturation, gender role ideology, and religious intensity were examined as predictors of the count of victimization among the victimized subsample. The Sexual Assault Among Latinas (SALAS) Study surveyed 2,000 adult Latino women who lived in high-density Latino neighborhoods in 2008. The present study reports findings for a subsample of women who were victimized in the United States (n = 568). Immigrant women reported significantly less victimization than U.S.-born Latino women in bivariate analyses. Multivariate models showed that Anglo orientation was associated with greater odds of all forms of victimization, whereas both Latino orientation and being an immigrant were associated with lower odds of all forms of victimization. Latino orientation was more protective for immigrant women than for U.S.-born Latino women with regard to sexual victimization. Among the victimized subsample, being an immigrant, Anglo acculturation, and masculine gender role were associated with a higher victimization count, whereas Latino orientation and religious intensity were associated with a lower victimization count. The findings point to the risk associated with being a U.S. minority, the protective value of Latino cultural maintenance, and the need for services to reach out to Anglo acculturated Latino women.
本研究考察了移民身份、文化适应以及文化适应与移民身份的相互作用对拉丁裔女性在美国的自我报告受害情况的影响，包括身体攻击、性侵犯、跟踪和威胁暴力。此外，还考察了移民身份、文化适应、性别角色观念和宗教强度对受害亚样本中受害次数的预测作用。拉丁裔女性中的性侵犯（SALAS）研究调查了 2008 年居住在高密度拉丁裔社区的 2000 名成年拉丁裔女性。本研究报告了在美国受害的亚样本（n=568）的研究结果。在单变量分析中，移民女性报告的受害情况明显少于美国出生的拉丁裔女性。多变量模型显示，盎格鲁取向与所有形式的受害几率增加有关，而拉丁裔取向和移民身份都与所有形式的受害几率降低有关。与美国出生的拉丁裔女性相比，拉丁裔取向对移民女性的性受害更具保护作用。在受害亚样本中，移民身份、盎格鲁文化适应和男性性别角色与更高的受害次数有关，而拉丁裔取向和宗教强度与更低的受害次数有关。这些发现指出了作为美国少数民族所面临的风险、拉丁文化维护的保护价值，以及为接触盎格鲁文化适应的拉丁裔女性提供服务的必要性。
