Abstract

Purpose: This cross-sectional study was designed to examine the impacts of three risk factors (i.e., Trump-era policy stress, incidents of discrimination, and COVID-19 exposure) and two protective factors (i.e., resilience and social support) on mental health status. Methods: Data were collected via an online survey with first- and second-generation immigrant adults (n = 447). Hierarchical linear regression was employed to assess the risk and protective factors, in addition to demographic characteristics, on anxiety and depression scores. Results: Trump-era policy stress and discrimination predicted higher symptoms of both anxiety and depression. In terms of protective factors, resilience and social support each had a significant inverse relationship with anxiety and depression scores. Conclusion: Findings contribute to the knowledge base of risk and protective factors during a stringent immigration policy context and pandemic in the United States. Discussion: Implications for practice, research, and policymaking are presented. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)

美国排外政策背景下第一代和第二代成年移民心理健康风险和保护因素的研究

目的:本横断面研究旨在探讨三个风险因素(即特朗普时代的政策压力、歧视事件和COVID-19暴露)和两个保护因素(即复原力和社会支持)对心理健康状况的影响。方法:通过对成年第一代和第二代移民(n = 447)进行在线调查收集数据。除人口统计学特征外，采用层次线性回归评估焦虑和抑郁评分的风险和保护因素。结果:特朗普时代的政策压力和歧视预示着更高的焦虑和抑郁症状。在保护因素方面，心理弹性和社会支持与焦虑和抑郁得分呈显著负相关。结论:研究结果有助于在美国严格的移民政策背景和大流行期间建立风险和保护因素的知识库。讨论:对实践、研究和政策制定的启示。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2022 APA，版权所有)

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
