We investigated the association between perceived ethnic discrimination with psychological well-being and life satisfaction among a community sample of unauthorized Hispanic immigrants in the United States. We also assessed whether ethnic/racial group identity centrality moderated this relationship.
A community sample of self-reported unauthorized Hispanics ( = 140) completed questionnaires assessing perceived ethnic discrimination, ethnic/racial group identity centrality, psychological well-being, and life satisfaction.
Discrimination negatively predicted psychological well-being and life satisfaction, and ethnic/racial group identity centrality moderated these relationships. High ethnic/racial group identity centrality reduced the association of discrimination with psychological well-being and life satisfaction. Ethnic/racial identity centrality lent psychological protection for those who reported higher levels of discrimination.
Ethnic discrimination is a salient stressor for unauthorized Hispanic immigrants. Yet high ethnic/racial group identity centrality may protect these individuals from the negative effects of discrimination by providing a sense of belonging, acceptance, and social support in the face of rejection.

我们调查了在美国的未授权西班牙裔移民社区样本中，感知到的种族歧视与心理健康和生活满意度之间的关系。我们还评估了种族/民族群体认同中心是否调节了这种关系。
一个自我报告的未授权西班牙裔社区样本（n=140）完成了问卷，评估了感知到的种族歧视、种族/民族群体认同中心、心理健康和生活满意度。
歧视与心理健康和生活满意度呈负相关，而种族/民族群体认同中心则调节了这些关系。高种族/民族群体认同中心减少了歧视与心理健康和生活满意度之间的关联。在面临排斥时，种族/民族认同感为那些报告受到更高水平歧视的人提供了心理保护。
种族歧视是未授权西班牙裔移民的一个突出压力源。然而，高种族/民族群体认同中心可能通过在受到排斥时提供归属感、接受感和社会支持，从而保护这些人免受歧视的负面影响。
