Abstract

The present study examined how two forms of marginalization – peer ethnic-racial discrimination and mothers' immigration-related stressors - were associated with changes in adolescents' grade point average by way of changes in adolescent depressive symptoms. A secondary aim was to examine familismo as a moderator mitigating marginalization's harmful effects on depressive symptoms. Data derived from a longitudinal study of 547 mother-adolescent dyads in suburban Atlanta, GA (M_age = 13.31 years old; 55.4 % girls; 10.4 % first-generation immigrants; 65.3 % second-generation immigrants; 24.3 % later generation immigrants). Most youth participants identified as only Latino/a (42 %) or Latino/a and White (31 %). Results showed that immigration-related stressors were associated with increases in adolescents' depressive symptoms, which in turn, was associated with poorer academic performance two years later. Familismo did not moderate any associations. Findings underscore the harmful effects of marginalizing experiences on Latino/a adolescents' adjustment.

通过抑郁症状将种族边缘化与拉丁裔/青年的学业成功联系起来的途径

本研究考察了两种形式的边缘化——同伴种族歧视和母亲移民相关的压力源——如何通过青少年抑郁症状的变化与青少年平均成绩的变化相关联。第二个目的是检验家庭主义作为减缓边缘化对抑郁症状的有害影响的调节因素。数据来自一项纵向研究，研究对象为547对来自佐治亚州亚特兰大郊区的母亲和青少年(年龄= 13.31岁；女孩占55.4%；10.4%是第一代移民；第二代移民占65.3%；24.3%后一代移民)。大多数青年参与者只被确定为拉丁裔/白人（42%）或拉丁裔/白人和白人（31%）。结果表明，与移民相关的压力源与青少年抑郁症状的增加有关，而抑郁症状又与两年后较差的学习成绩有关。Familismo没有缓和任何关联。研究结果强调了边缘化经历对拉丁裔青少年适应的有害影响。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology focuses on two key concepts: human development, which refers to the psychological transformations and modifications that occur during the life cycle and influence an individual behavior within the social milieu; and application of knowledge, which is derived from investigating variables in the developmental process. Its contributions cover research that deals with traditional life span markets (age, social roles, biological status, environmental variables) and broadens the scopes of study to include variables that promote understanding of psychological processes and their onset and development within the life span. Most importantly.
