OBJECTIVES
This study examined family dynamics as a moderator of the association between discrimination and both depression and life satisfaction for Latino youth. Specifically, we hypothesized that discrimination would have a negative impact on depression and life satisfaction. We also hypothesized that negative family dynamics would compound the negative impact of discrimination, whereas positive family dynamics would buffer against the impact of discrimination on depression and life satisfaction.
METHOD
Participants were 229 Latino youth ( = 22.40, = 2.46, % female = 81.7) from a diverse region who completed measures of perceived discrimination, depressive symptoms, life satisfaction, and family relationship dynamics. Regression models were used to test both direct associations and moderation (i.e., interaction effects) between these variables.
RESULTS
Findings indicated that negative aspects of family dynamics marginally exacerbated the link between discrimination and depression and life satisfaction, and were also directly associated with these outcomes. Family positivity significantly moderated the association between discrimination and both depression and life satisfaction. However, positive aspects of family dynamics were only associated with more positive outcomes when discrimination was minimal to absent.
CONCLUSIONS
Family dynamics moderated the association between discrimination and both depression and life satisfaction in Latino youth. However, family dynamics did not appear sufficient to buffer against the negative impact of discrimination, suggesting that even positive and cohesive families cannot buffer youth from discrimination. Marginal findings suggest that negative family dynamics compound the negative impact of discrimination. Implications for improving the mental health of Latino youth through targeting both discrimination and family dynamics are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).
目的
本研究考察了家庭动态作为调节变量，在歧视与拉丁裔青年的抑郁和生活满意度之间的关系。具体来说，我们假设歧视会对抑郁和生活满意度产生负面影响。我们还假设，负面的家庭动态会加剧歧视的负面影响，而积极的家庭动态会缓冲歧视对抑郁和生活满意度的影响。
方法
参与者为来自不同地区的 229 名拉丁裔青年（ = 22.40， = 2.46，女性%=81.7），他们完成了感知歧视、抑郁症状、生活满意度和家庭关系动态的测量。回归模型用于检验这些变量之间的直接关联和调节（即交互作用）。
结果
研究结果表明，家庭动态的负面方面略微加剧了歧视与抑郁和生活满意度之间的联系，并且与这些结果直接相关。家庭积极性显著调节了歧视与抑郁和生活满意度之间的关系。然而，只有在歧视最小或不存在时，家庭动态的积极方面才与更积极的结果相关。
结论
家庭动态调节了歧视与拉丁裔青年的抑郁和生活满意度之间的关系。然而，家庭动态似乎不足以缓冲歧视的负面影响，这表明即使是积极和有凝聚力的家庭也不能保护年轻人免受歧视。边际发现表明，负面的家庭动态加剧了歧视的负面影响。讨论了通过针对歧视和家庭动态来改善拉丁裔青年心理健康的意义。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
