Abstract

This study examined the mediated moderating effect of ethnic identity through associated body dissatisfaction on the relationship between acculturative stress and depression. Data from the sixth year of the Multicultural Adolescents Panel Survey conducted by the National Youth Policy Institute were used for analysis. The participants were 424 multicultural adolescents (218 boys, 206 girls; mean age = 14.99 years, SD = 0.33). Data were analyzed using SPSS Statistics 27 and PROCESS Macro 4.2, AMOS22. The results showed that body dissatisfaction partially mediated the relationship between acculturative stress and depression. Further, ethnic identity significantly moderated the relationship between acculturative stress and bodily dissatisfaction. Finally, the moderated mediating effect of ethnic identity on depression, through the effect of acculturative stress on body dissatisfaction, was significant. These results suggest that efforts to improve ethnic identity are needed to prevent depression in multicultural adolescents.

多元文化家庭青少年的文化适应压力对抑郁症的影响：通过身体不满意度调节民族认同的中介效应

本研究探讨了种族认同通过相关的身体不满意度对文化适应压力和抑郁之间关系的中介调节作用。研究采用了美国国家青年政策研究所（National Youth Policy Institute）开展的第六年多元文化青少年小组调查的数据进行分析。参与者为 424 名多元文化青少年（男孩 218 人，女孩 206 人；平均年龄 = 14.99 岁，SD = 0.33）。数据使用 SPSS 统计软件 27 和 PROCESS Macro 4.2、AMOS22 进行分析。结果显示，身体不满意在一定程度上调节了文化适应压力与抑郁之间的关系。此外，种族认同在很大程度上调节了文化适应压力与身体不满意之间的关系。最后，通过文化适应压力对身体不满意度的影响，种族认同对抑郁的调节中介效应是显著的。这些结果表明，要预防多元文化青少年的抑郁症，需要努力提高他们的种族认同感。
