Abstract

Objective: Shared language erosion (SLE) may contribute to anxiety in Hispanic immigrant youth by increasing stress and parent-youth conflict. This study examined the relationship between SLE and anxiety, considering parent-youth conflict and youth perceived stress as possible mediating factors.

Methods: Data were collected from 107 Hispanic immigrant 7th-grade youth (53% females) and their parents (88% mothers). Path analysis was used to test the mediation model.

Results: Model fit was good: χ2(1) = 1.28, p = .26; RMSEA = 0.05; CFI = 1.00; and SRMR = 0.03. The effect of SLE on youth anxiety was fully mediated by youth perceived stress. In addition, SLE was associated with stress both directly and indirectly through parent-youth conflict.

Conclusions: Findings suggest SLE may be a contributing factor to anxiety among Hispanic immigrant youth and a novel intervention target to help reduce stress-related mental, emotional, and behavioral health problems among Hispanic immigrant youth-an increasing at-risk segment of the U.S. population.

亲子共同语言侵蚀对西班牙裔移民青少年焦虑问题的影响。

目的：共同语言侵蚀（SLE）可能通过增加压力和亲子冲突导致西班牙移民青年的焦虑。本研究考察SLE与焦虑的关系，考虑亲子冲突和青少年感知压力可能是中介因素。方法：收集107名西班牙裔七年级移民青少年（53%为女性）及其父母（88%为母亲）的数据。采用通径分析对中介模型进行检验。结果：模型拟合良好：χ2(1) = 1.28, p = 0.26；Rmsea = 0.05；Cfi = 1.00；SRMR = 0.03。SLE对青年焦虑的影响完全由青年感知压力介导。此外，SLE通过亲子冲突直接或间接地与压力相关。结论：研究结果表明SLE可能是西班牙裔青年移民焦虑的一个促成因素，也是一个新的干预目标，可以帮助减少西班牙裔青年移民中与压力相关的精神、情绪和行为健康问题——这是美国人口中一个日益增加的风险群体。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease publishes peer-reviewed articles containing new data or ways of reorganizing established knowledge relevant to understanding and modifying human behavior, especially that defined as impaired or diseased, and the context, applications and effects of that knowledge. Our policy is summarized by the slogan, "Behavioral science for clinical practice." We consider articles that include at least one behavioral variable, clear definition of study populations, and replicable research designs. Authors should use the active voice and first person whenever possible.
