Abstract

This study assesses the specific anxiety symptoms that are present in the context of perceived ethnic discrimination in 696 (M age = 13.3, σ = .77, 57% girls) seventh and eighth-grade students with immigrant backgrounds from four different Canadian high schools. Multiple hierarchical linear regressions were conducted to determine the association between perceived ethnic discrimination and specific anxiety symptoms. Results demonstrate that perceived ethnic discrimination is significantly associated with more anxiety symptoms, such as panic/somatic, generalized anxiety, social phobia, and school phobia. Findings provide a better understanding of the association between perceived ethnic discrimination and anxiety symptoms reported by adolescents with an immigrant background. These findings could help school-based mental health professionals in the implementation of prevention and intervention measures aimed at reducing specific anxiety symptoms that are often present in the context of perceived ethnic discrimination.
