The purpose of this study was to examine the relations among discrimination, depression, and health among a sample of diverse Latinx immigrants. A secondary aim was to examine whether direct and indirect effects among these variables were moderated by social support. A sample of 204 Latinx immigrants completed questionnaires in community centers, health clinics, and retail establishments. Depression was found to mediate the effect of discrimination on physical health. Social support was found to moderate this indirect effect, wherein higher levels of social support weakened the effect. Results from this study indicate that through depression, health can be impacted by minority stressors, and these relationships can be buffered by links to cultural strengths including social support.
本研究的目的是考察不同拉丁裔移民样本中歧视、抑郁和健康之间的关系。第二个目的是检验这些变量之间的直接和间接影响是否受到社会支持的调节。204名拉丁裔移民样本在社区中心、健康诊所和零售场所完成了问卷调查。研究发现，抑郁在歧视对身体健康的影响中起中介作用。研究发现，社会支持调节了这种间接影响，即较高水平的社会支持会削弱这种影响。本研究结果表明，通过抑郁，健康会受到少数群体压力源的影响，而这些关系可以通过与包括社会支持在内的文化优势的联系得到缓冲。
