Despite growing awareness of the negative effects of ethnic-racial discrimination, we know little about the frequency of these experiences among Latina/o youth. Utilizing three independent studies, we examined estimates of general discrimination and police discrimination among Latino/a youth living in the U.S. Southwest (total = 1,066; ages 12 to 21 years old). Ethnic-racial discrimination experiences differed by adolescent gender; for girls, 47% reported discrimination at age 12; highest estimates were at age 17 (70%) and 18 years old (68%). Boys reported greater general discrimination than girls during early and late adolescence; the highest estimates were observed at ages 19, 20, and 21 years (94%, 86%, and 87% respectively). Gender differences also emerged with police discrimination; boys reported being hassled by a police officer more often than girls at every age. Findings suggest that most Latino/a adolescents experience discrimination, and Latino/a boys are particularly vulnerable.
尽管人们越来越意识到种族歧视的负面影响，但我们对拉丁裔青少年中这些经历的频率知之甚少。利用三项独立研究，我们调查了居住在美国西南部的拉丁裔青少年（共1066人；年龄在12至21岁之间）遭受一般歧视和警察歧视的情况。种族歧视经历因青少年性别而异；对于女孩来说，47%的人报告在12岁时遭受过歧视；最高比例出现在17岁（70%）和18岁（68%）。在青春期早期和晚期，男孩报告的一般歧视比女孩更多；最高比例出现在19岁、20岁和21岁（分别为94%、86%和87%）。在警察歧视方面也出现了性别差异；在每个年龄段，男孩报告被警察骚扰的频率都比女孩高。研究结果表明，大多数拉丁裔青少年都经历过歧视，而且拉丁裔男孩尤其容易受到伤害。
