The reality of individuals without an immigration status is complicated because of administrative problems and the effects of negative social interactions on their well-being. The present article analyzes the possible mediating role of internalized stigma in the relationship between perceived rejection and self-esteem among South American individuals without an immigration status in Chile. The study involved the participation of 174 immigrants living in Chile for at least one year without an immigration status; their participation was voluntary and they did not receive any payment for being part of the study. The results indicate that internalized stigma fully mediates the effect of perceived rejection on the self-esteem of these people, which shows how negative social interactions can be for this population. We conclude with the importance of the findings for future studies, policies, and interventions with South American individuals without an immigration status.
由于行政问题以及负面社会互动对其幸福的影响，没有移民身份的个体的现实情况较为复杂。本文分析了内化耻辱感在智利没有移民身份的南美个体的感知排斥与自尊之间的关系中可能起到的中介作用。该研究纳入了174名在智利居住至少一年且没有移民身份的移民；他们自愿参与，且参与研究未获得任何报酬。结果表明，内化耻辱感完全中介了感知排斥对这些人自尊的影响，这显示了负面社会互动对这一群体的影响程度。我们最后指出了这些研究结果对于未来针对没有移民身份的南美个体的研究、政策和干预措施的重要性。
