The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between acculturation-related variables with depressive symptomatology among Latino college students and the extent to which acculturative stress mediates the association. The extent to which gender moderates these relationships was also examined. Participants were 758 Latina and 264 Latino college students from 30 colleges and universities around the United States. Participants completed measures of acculturation, acculturative stress, and depression. Multigroup path analysis provided excellent model fit and suggested moderation by gender. Acculturative stress mediated the acculturation-depression relationship. One indirect effect was moderated by gender with effects stronger for men: Heritage-culture retention to depressive symptoms via Spanish Competency Pressures. Acculturation and acculturative stress contribute to depression differently for male and female Latino college students. Future research should note the influence of gender socialization on the acculturation process and mental health.
本研究的目的是检验拉丁裔大学生中与文化适应相关的变量与抑郁症状之间的关系，以及文化适应压力在多大程度上介导了这种关联。同时也考察了性别在多大程度上调节了这些关系。参与者是来自美国30所学院和大学的758名拉丁裔女大学生和264名拉丁裔男大学生。参与者完成了文化适应、文化适应压力和抑郁的测量。多组路径分析提供了良好的模型拟合，并表明存在性别调节作用。文化适应压力介导了文化适应与抑郁的关系。一种间接效应受到性别调节，对男性的影响更强：通过西班牙语能力压力，传统文化保留对抑郁症状产生影响。文化适应和文化适应压力对拉丁裔男女大学生抑郁的影响不同。未来的研究应注意性别社会化对文化适应过程和心理健康的影响。
