Person-centered analysis was used to examine profiles of acculturation and acculturative stress among Mexican-descent adults in relation to depression. It was hypothesized that identified profiles would support multiple acculturation styles, that acculturation profiles would differentially relate to acculturative stress dimensions, and that those profiles with greater Latinx acculturation and lower acculturative stress would report less severe depression.
Mexican-descent Latinx adults ( = 230) completed self-report measures of Latinx and Anglo acculturation, acculturative stress, and depression symptom severity. Latent profile analysis was used to derive acculturation-acculturative stress profiles.
Three distinct profiles emerged. One profile was notable for bicultural acculturation with traditional Latinx acculturative stress. The two remaining profiles reported similarly high traditional Latinx acculturation, but differed in acculturative stress, such that one profile was elevated in one dimension of acculturative stress, whereas the other reported elevated acculturative stress across multiple domains. Participants in this last profile also reported significantly greater depression.
The findings provide further evidence of the beneficial role of heritage-culture acculturation and suggest that focused versus generalized forms of acculturative stress may be a distinguishing component related to depression. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
采用以个体为中心的分析方法，探讨与抑郁有关的墨西哥裔成年人的文化适应模式和文化适应压力特征。研究假设是，确定的模式将支持多种文化适应模式，文化适应模式将与文化适应压力维度有差异的关系，并且那些拉丁裔文化适应程度较高、文化适应压力较低的模式将报告更轻的抑郁症状。
230 名墨西哥裔拉丁裔成年人完成了拉丁裔和盎格鲁文化适应、文化适应压力和抑郁症状严重程度的自我报告测量。采用潜在剖面分析得出文化适应-文化适应压力模式。
出现了三个不同的模式。一个模式的特点是具有传统拉丁裔文化适应的双文化适应和传统拉丁裔文化适应压力。其余两个模式的传统拉丁裔文化适应程度相似，但文化适应压力不同，其中一个模式在一个文化适应压力维度上较高，而另一个模式则在多个领域报告了较高的文化适应压力。最后一个模式的参与者也报告了明显更严重的抑郁。
这些发现进一步证明了传统文化适应的有益作用，并表明集中的与普遍的文化适应压力可能是与抑郁相关的一个区别性因素。（美国心理协会，2022）。
