This research focused on undocumented male Guatemalan migrant adolescents' experiences and stressors in United States agriculture. Study 1 applied a phenomenological method to explore work-life experiences of Guatemalan minors (n = 10) aged 15-17 (M = 16.4). Findings highlighted three themes (1) "Just keep pushing forward," (2) "It feels ugly but that's life," and (3) "I have to do everything on my own." Using a separate sample, Study 2 examined the association between stressors and depressive symptoms among Guatemalan migrant adolescents (n = 28), aged 15-20 (M = 17.71). Results showed loneliness, social isolation, and work conditions as correlates for depressive symptoms. Findings highlighted a distinct developmental path among migrant farmworker adolescents and offered insight into their resilience and developmental threats.
本研究关注无证的危地马拉男性移民青少年在美国农业中的经历和压力源。研究 1 采用现象学方法，探索了 15-17 岁（M=16.4）的危地马拉未成年人（n=10）的工作生活经历。研究结果强调了三个主题：（1）“只能继续前进”；（2）“这很丑陋，但这就是生活”；（3）“我必须自己做所有事情”。在另一个样本中，研究 2 研究了危地马拉移民青少年（n=28，年龄 15-20 岁，M=17.71）中压力源与抑郁症状之间的关联。结果表明，孤独、社会孤立和工作条件是抑郁症状的相关因素。研究结果突显了移民农业工人青少年之间的独特发展路径，并深入了解了他们的适应力和发展威胁。
