What strategies help ethnic minority adolescents to cope with racism? The present study addressed this question by testing the role of ethnic identity, social support, and anger expression and suppression as moderators of the discrimination-adjustment link among 269 Mexican-origin adolescents (M = 14.1 years), 12-17 years old from the Midwestern U.S. Results from multilevel moderation analyses indicated that ethnic identity, social support, and anger suppression, respectively, significantly attenuated the relations between discrimination and adjustment problems, whereas outward anger expression exacerbated these relations. Moderation effects differed according to the level of analysis. By identifying effective coping strategies in the discrimination-adjustment link at specific levels of analysis, the present findings can guide future intervention efforts for Latino youth.
哪些策略有助于少数民族青少年应对种族主义?本研究通过测试种族认同、社会支持以及愤怒表达和抑制作为美国中西部 269 名墨西哥裔青少年(M=14.1 岁,12-17 岁)歧视与适应关系的调节因素,回答了这个问题。多层次的调节分析结果表明,种族认同、社会支持和愤怒抑制分别显著减弱了歧视与适应问题之间的关系,而向外表达愤怒则加剧了这种关系。调节效应因分析层次而异。通过在特定分析层次上确定歧视与适应关系中的有效应对策略,本研究结果可以为拉美裔青年的未来干预努力提供指导。
