Abstract

Racial discrimination is linked with unfavorable mental health outcomes among racial/ethnic minority college students. Objective/Participants. This study examines associations between racial/ethnic discrimination experiences and emotional well-being and potential protective factors among a sample of Hispanic/Latinx college students (N = 1,567, ages 19-22; 73.8% female). Methods. Secondary data analysis was utilized to examine experiences of discrimination based on race/ethnicity, well-being outcomes, and protective factors. Multiple linear regression models were used to assess the impact of experiencing racial/ethnic discrimination on the well-being outcomes. Results. Hispanic/Latinx students reported racial/ethnic discrimination experiences that were associated with poorer well-being outcomes; protective factors such as social support and belonging were associated with well-being. Conclusion. These outcomes highlight the need to continue efforts to address racial/ethnic discrimination experiences for Hispanic/Latinx students and to develop and integrate prevention and treatment interventions in colleges to improve services and mitigate the negative impact on student well-being.

西班牙裔/拉丁裔大学生的种族/民族歧视经历与情绪健康结果

种族歧视与种族/少数民族大学生的不良心理健康结果有关。目标/参与者。本研究以西班牙裔/拉丁裔大学生（N = 1567，年龄19-22岁，73.8%为女性）为样本，探讨种族/民族歧视经历与情绪幸福感和潜在保护因素之间的关系。方法。二级数据分析用于检查基于种族/民族、福祉结果和保护因素的歧视经历。多元线性回归模型用于评估经历种族/民族歧视对幸福感结果的影响。结果。西班牙裔/拉丁裔学生报告的种族/民族歧视经历与较差的幸福感结果有关；社会支持和归属感等保护性因素与幸福感有关。结论。这些结果突出表明，需要继续努力解决西班牙裔/拉丁裔学生的种族/民族歧视经历，并在大学中制定和整合预防和治疗干预措施，以改善服务，减轻对学生福祉的负面影响。
