Abstract
Research on cultural brokering (i.e., interpreting cultural norms for others) indicates that some brokering practices (i.e., interpreting language) predict negative psychological adjustment. Recent research indicates that individuals also interpret emotions for others (i.e., emotion brokering). However, the associations between emotion brokering and psychological adjustment have yet to be reported. This investigation is the first to examine the associations between emotion brokering and psychological adjustment (i.e., depressive symptoms, acculturative stress) among Latinx college students. Study 1 (data collected in 2020) compared emotion brokering and language brokering and investigated how the frequency of each type of brokering (emotion, language) and the emotions (embarrassment, pride) experienced when brokering related to psychological adjustment. Results revealed that frequent emotion brokering predicted greater depressive symptoms among those who experienced greater embarrassment when emotion brokering. In addition, frequent emotion brokering predicted lower acculturative stress among those who experienced greater pride when emotion brokering. Study 2 (data collected from 2021 to 2022) examined the role of familism and family assistance attitudes as moderators of the relationships between emotion brokering frequency, emotions experienced (embarrassment, pride) when emotion brokering, and psychological adjustment. Findings revealed that the relationships between the emotions experienced when emotion brokering and depressive symptoms were moderated by the endorsement of emotion brokering as a means of family assistance, rather than familism values more broadly. These novel findings have implications for cultural brokering and psychological adjustment. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).

Emotion publishes significant contributions to the study of emotion from a wide range of theoretical traditions and research domains.
