The study examines psychosomatic symptoms, and host and heritage identities as mediators of the relationship between discrimination and aggressive behavior and substance use. Israeli data from the 2013-14 Health Behaviors of School-aged Children study included a representative sample of 1503 first- and second-generation immigrant adolescents aged 11-17 years (45.2% male) from the Former Soviet Union and Ethiopia in Israel. Structural equation modeling, controlling for age, gender, family affluence and immigrant generation, showed different pathways for the two groups. For FSU-heritage adolescents, the relationship between discrimination and aggressive behavior and substance use was partially mediated by psychosomatic symptoms. Lower host and heritage identities also predicted psychosomatic symptoms. For Ethiopian-heritage adolescents, the relationship between discrimination and outcomes was fully mediated by psychosomatic symptoms and a weaker host identity. Results support an externalizing model, whereby discrimination leads to a weaker host identity and increased psychosomatic symptoms, associated with substance use and aggressive behavior.
本研究考察了心身症状以及主体和传承身份在歧视与攻击行为和物质使用之间关系中的中介作用。以色列 2013-14 年儿童健康行为研究的数据来自第一代和第二代来自前苏联和埃塞俄比亚的 1503 名 11-17 岁移民青少年（45.2%为男性），采用结构方程模型，控制年龄、性别、家庭富裕程度和移民代际因素，结果显示两组之间存在不同的途径。在前苏联传承青少年中，歧视与攻击行为和物质使用之间的关系部分通过心身症状来介导。较低的主体和传承身份也预测了心身症状。对于埃塞俄比亚传承青少年，歧视与结果之间的关系完全通过心身症状和较弱的主体身份来介导。结果支持了一种外化模型，即歧视导致较弱的主体身份和增加的心身症状，与物质使用和攻击行为相关。
