Ethnic minority youth experience multiple sociocultural stressors, experiences that are distinct from general measures of perceived stress. The present study aims to identify heterogenous subgroups of youth based on three self-reported sociocultural stressors (bicultural stress, perceived discrimination, and perceived negative context of reception).
Data are from a pilot study of Hispanic and Somali immigrant-origin youth ( = 291, 46.4% Hispanic) residing in an urban midwestern setting ( = 15.9 years [ = 1.5]; 48.5% female, 35.7% first generation). Using latent profile analysis, three empirically derived profiles described as low cultural stress, high perceived discrimination, and high bicultural stress were identified. Multinomial logistic regression models predicted class membership using theoretically and empirically supported correlates (age, race/ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, and nativity) and examined class association with anxiety and depression.
Compared to the low cultural stress profile, Relative Risk Ratios (RRR) indicated that membership in the high perceived discrimination profile was associated with age (RRR = 1.81, 95% CI [1.14, 2.86]) and generational status (e.g., U.S. born vs. first-generation; RRR = 0.0.22, 95% CI [0.07, 0.75]) but not depression or anxiety whereas membership in the high sociocultural stress profile was associated with elevated past week anxiety (RRR = 2.57, 95% CI [1.86, 3.54]), but not depression.
The experience of sociocultural stress is heterogenous and certain demographic characteristics, such as age and generation, and high sociocultural stressors, especially bicultural stress, may be important considerations in identifying youth that would benefit from tailored support services. Further work exploring how sociocultural stressors affect mental health among immigrant origin youth is needed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).
少数族裔青少年经历多种社会文化压力源,这些经历与感知压力的一般测量方法不同。本研究旨在根据三种自我报告的社会文化压力源(双文化压力、感知到的歧视和感知到的负面接纳环境)确定青少年的异质子群体。
数据来自对居住在中西部城市地区的西班牙裔和索马里裔移民青少年(n = 291,46.4%为西班牙裔)进行的一项试点研究(年龄 = 15.9岁[标准差 = 1.5];48.5%为女性,35.7%为第一代移民)。使用潜在剖面分析,确定了三种经实证得出的剖面,分别描述为低文化压力、高感知歧视和高双文化压力。多项逻辑回归模型使用理论和实证支持的相关因素(年龄、种族/族裔、性别、社会经济地位和出生国家)预测类别归属,并检验类别与焦虑和抑郁的关联。
与低文化压力剖面相比,相对风险比(RRR)表明,高感知歧视剖面的成员身份与年龄(RRR = 1.81,95%置信区间[1.14,2.86])和代际身份(例如,美国出生与第一代移民;RRR = 0.22,95%置信区间[0.07,0.75])相关,但与抑郁或焦虑无关,而高社会文化压力剖面的成员身份与过去一周焦虑水平升高相关(RRR = 2.57,95%置信区间[1.86,3.54]),但与抑郁无关。
社会文化压力的经历是异质的,某些人口统计学特征,如年龄和代际,以及高社会文化压力源,尤其是双文化压力,可能是确定哪些青少年将从量身定制的支持服务中受益时的重要考虑因素。需要进一步开展工作,探索社会文化压力源如何影响移民青少年的心理健康。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c)2024美国心理学会,保留所有权利)
