The present study identified unique profiles of cultural stressors (i.e., bicultural stress, discrimination, and negative context of reception) and acculturative strategies (i.e., heritage practices, heritage identification, U.S. practices, and U.S. identification), in Hispanic/Latinx (HL) emerging adults. Additionally, we examined associations between positive and negative psychosocial functioning, with profiles of acculturative strategies and cultural stressors.
The present study utilized a baseline sample of 779 HL college students (75.8% female, = 20.80 years, = 2.66) drawn from a daily diary study on acculturation.
Latent profile analysis identified four distinct profiles. The Bicultural and Low Cultural Stressors (B-LowCS; 53.55%) was marked by strong heritage and U.S. cultural orientation and low levels across all cultural stressors. The Marginalization and High Acculturative Stressors (M-HighAS; 20.13%) was marked by weak heritage and U.S. cultural orientation, high acculturative stressors, and low discrimination. The third profile, the Heritage Rejection and Low Cultural Stressors (HR-LowCS; 16.05%) was marked by rejection of heritage culture and low cultural stressors. Finally, the Separation and High Cultural Stressors (S-HighCS; 10.26%) was marked by weak U.S. cultural orientation and high cultural stressors. Consistent with past research, the B-LowCS profile was marked by the highest level of positive psychosocial functioning and the lowest levels of internalizing and externalizing symptoms.
The results of the present study highlight the usefulness of person-centered approaches for understanding the interplay between acculturative strategies and cultural stressors, and the implications of these distinct profiles on psychosocial functioning in HL emerging adults.

本研究确定了西班牙裔/拉丁裔（HL）新兴成年人文化应激源（即双文化应激、歧视和负面接纳情境）和文化适应策略（即传承习俗、传承认同、美国习俗和美国认同）的独特模式。此外，我们还研究了积极和消极心理社会功能与文化适应策略和文化应激源模式之间的关联。
本研究使用了从一项关于文化适应的日常日记研究中抽取的779名HL大学生的基线样本（75.8%为女性，平均年龄 = 20.80岁，标准差 = 2.66）。
潜在剖面分析确定了四种不同的模式。双文化与低文化应激源模式（B-LowCS；53.55%）的特点是强烈的传承和美国文化取向以及所有文化应激源水平较低。边缘化与高文化适应应激源模式（M-HighAS；20.13%）的特点是传承和美国文化取向较弱、高文化适应应激源以及低歧视。第三种模式，即传承排斥与低文化应激源模式（HR-LowCS；16.05%）的特点是排斥传承文化和低文化应激源。最后，分离与高文化应激源模式（S-HighCS；10.26%）的特点是美国文化取向较弱和高文化应激源。与过去的研究一致，B-LowCS模式的特点是积极心理社会功能水平最高，内化和外化症状水平最低。
本研究结果突出了以个体为中心的方法在理解文化适应策略与文化应激源之间相互作用以及这些不同模式对HL新兴成年人心理社会功能的影响方面的有用性。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2025美国心理学会，保留所有权利）
