Psychological Distress Differentials as a Function of Subjective Social Status among Latino Subgroups in the United States

Abstract

Originality/Value of Paper Overall, our study makes several contributions to the sociological study of mental health differentials among Latinos. We show the importance of the association between subjective SES indicators and psychological distress. We also demonstrate how the associations analyzed in this study varied by Latino subethnicity, which we argue is an important step to fully understand the different social processes associated with the mental health of different Latina/o groups.
