Based on the conceptual overlap between shift-&-persist (S&P) and culturally based strategies (critical civic engagement [CCE] and spiritually based coping), this study tests whether associations between these three previously disparate strategies are attributable to the existence of a higher-order coping construct: culturally informed S&P.
Among 364 diverse minoritized youth (M = 18.79, 85.2% female), we tested for the existence of this higher-order factor through confirmatory factor analysis.
We found theoretical and empirical support for the existence of a higher-order factor structure and for our higher-order factor-culturally informed S&P. Culturally informed S&P promotes fewer depressive symptoms as a main effect in addition to completely protecting against the negative impact of discrimination on depressive symptoms when culturally informed S&P is high.
The current study illustrates relations between three previously distinct coping strategies through their association with culturally informed S&P. Results highlight culturally informed S&P's promotive and protective effects in the face of ethnic-racial discrimination. Implications for subsequent study of culturally based coping are discussed.

基于转移和持续(S&P)与基于文化的策略(批判性公民参与[CCE]和基于精神的应对)之间的概念重叠,本研究检验了这三种先前不同的策略之间的关联是否归因于更高阶应对结构的存在:基于文化的 S&P。
在 364 名不同少数族裔青年(M=18.79,85.2%女性)中,我们通过验证性因素分析来检验这种高阶因子的存在。
我们发现了更高阶因子结构的理论和实证支持,以及我们的高阶因子——基于文化的 S&P。除了在基于文化的 S&P 较高时完全防止歧视对抑郁症状的负面影响外,基于文化的 S&P 作为主要效应也促进了较少的抑郁症状。
本研究通过与基于文化的 S&P 的关联,说明了三种先前不同的应对策略之间的关系。研究结果强调了在面对种族歧视时基于文化的 S&P 的促进和保护作用。讨论了对后续基于文化的应对研究的影响。
