Research shows the impact of cultural stressors (e.g. perceived discrimination, bicultural stressors, negative context of reception) on adolescents' psychosocial outcomes. Given the presence of multiple cultural stressors in many Hispanic adolescents' lives, it is essential to examine the (a) developmental sequencing of cultural stressors among recent immigrant youth and (b) predictive effects of cultural stressors on adolescents' psychosocial outcomes. We employed a random intercept cross-lagged panel model to examine the longitudinal interplay among cultural stressors and their effects on youth outcomes using longitudinal data with six waves among 302 recently immigrated Hispanic adolescents (47% girls, M = 14.51, SD = .88). We observed bidirectional within-person relations and between-person associations among cultural stressors. At the within-person level, bidirectional cross-lagged effects emerged between perceived discrimination and bicultural stress, between perceived discrimination and negative context of reception, and between negative context of reception and bicultural stress. At the between-person level, bidirectional cross-lagged effects emerged only between perceived discrimination and bicultural stressors. Our findings indicate that cultural stressors explain heterogeneity in psychosocial outcomes: self-esteem was inversely predicted by all cultural stressors, whereas depressive symptoms were predicted only by perceived discrimination. In addition, optimism was predicted only by bicultural stressors, and externalizing behavior was predicted by both bicultural stressors and perceived discrimination. These results suggest that the longitudinal relationships among cultural stressors are (partly) bidirectional. Additionally, cultural stressors demonstrated differential predictive effects on psychosocial outcomes, indicating the added value of considering multiple cultural stressors and their longitudinal effects on adolescents' psychosocial outcomes.
研究表明，文化压力源（如感知歧视、双文化压力源、负面的接纳环境）对青少年的心理社会结果有影响。鉴于许多西班牙裔青少年的生活中存在多种文化压力源，因此必须研究（a）新近移民青少年的文化压力源的发展顺序，以及（b）文化压力源对青少年心理社会结果的预测作用。我们采用随机截距交叉滞后面板模型，使用 302 名新近移民的西班牙裔青少年的六次纵向数据（47%为女孩，M=14.51，SD=.88），考察文化压力源之间的纵向相互作用及其对青年结果的影响。我们观察到文化压力源之间存在双向个体内关系和个体间关联。在个体内层面，感知歧视和双文化压力之间、感知歧视和负面接纳环境之间以及负面接纳环境和双文化压力之间存在双向交叉滞后效应。在个体间层面，仅在感知歧视和双文化压力源之间出现双向交叉滞后效应。我们的研究结果表明，文化压力源解释了心理社会结果的异质性：所有文化压力源都对自尊产生负向预测，而只有感知歧视对抑郁症状产生预测作用。此外，乐观主义仅受双文化压力源预测，而外化行为则受双文化压力源和感知歧视共同预测。这些结果表明，文化压力源之间的纵向关系（部分）是双向的。此外，文化压力源对心理社会结果具有不同的预测作用，表明考虑多种文化压力源及其对青少年心理社会结果的纵向影响具有附加价值。
