Abstract

Objectives: Hispanic/Latinx youth vary in their immigration heritage (e.g., country of origin, familial migration history, etc.) and the structure of their communities. This study is a qualitative exploration of Hispanic/Latinx youth experiences of cultural stress in Miami and Los Angeles in 2021.

Method: A total of 23 Hispanic/Latinx adolescents in Los Angeles (n = 12) and Miami (n = 11) provided in-depth interviews to assess: (a) appraisals of family immigration history and (b) experiences across three cultural stressors: sociopolitical, language brokering, and intragroup marginalization. Interviews were analyzed using a general inductive analytic approach and case comparison methodology to assess differences across sites.

Results: For appraisals of family immigration history, gratitude and hope emerged as positive emotions experienced when youth reflected on their immigrant origins. Miami participants reported perceived worsening of sociopolitical stress as a result of changes in political administration whereas participants in Los Angeles felt a sense of relief. Participants in Miami and Los Angeles reported similar strengths and challenges in language brokering with COVID-19 variedly impacting youth's perceived language brokering stress. Last, to youth intragroup marginalization experienced from family members was experienced as more detrimental than from peers, and they reported the use of cognitive reframes to cope.

Conclusion: Cultural stressors are dynamic and diverse. This study further informs cultural stress theory by cataloging how families' immigration history and national current events inform experiences of stress among youth. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

文化压力体验的语境化：迈阿密和洛杉矶拉美裔青年的定性研究。

目标：拉美裔/拉丁裔青年的移民传统（如原籍国、家族移民史等）和社区结构各不相同。本研究对 2021 年迈阿密和洛杉矶的拉美裔/拉丁裔青少年的文化压力体验进行了定性探索：洛杉矶（12 人）和迈阿密（11 人）的 23 名西班牙裔/拉美裔青少年进行了深入访谈，以评估：（a）对家庭移民历史的评价；（b）三种文化压力的体验：社会政治、语言中介和群体内边缘化。采用一般归纳分析法和个案比较法对访谈进行分析，以评估不同地点之间的差异：在对家庭移民史的评价中，当青少年反思自己的移民出身时，感恩和希望成为他们的积极情绪。迈阿密的参与者报告说，由于政治管理的变化，他们感到社会政治压力加剧，而洛杉矶的参与者则感到如释重负。迈阿密和洛杉矶的参与者报告了在语言中介方面相似的优势和挑战，COVID-19 对青年感知到的语言中介压力的影响各不相同。最后，对于青少年来说，来自家庭成员的群体内边缘化比来自同龄人的边缘化更有害，他们报告说使用了认知重构来应对：结论：文化压力源是动态的、多样的。本研究通过记录家庭的移民历史和国家时事如何影响青少年的压力体验，进一步丰富了文化压力理论。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有）。
