Abstract

Research has documented the relationship between acculturation, acculturative stress, coping, and psychological problems among Latinas/os in the United States by using aggregated Latina/o (pan-ethnic) samples. However, the generalizability of these data across specific Latina/o subgroups in different geographic contexts remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine how psychological acculturation, acculturative stress, and coping helped predict depression group membership (high, medium, low) in a sample of Puerto Rican adults (N 113) living in Central Florida. Results from a multinomial logistic regression indicated that individuals in the high depression group were more likely to endorse increased acculturative stress, increased maladaptive coping strategies, and less frequent adaptive coping than individuals in the low depression group. Individuals in the medium depression group were more likely to experience higher acculturative stress and adopt more maladaptive coping than the low depression group. Tests of interaction effects indicated that either acculturative stress or coping strategy helped predict membership into the depression groups. Implications regarding the mental health of Puerto Ricans in the United States mainland are discussed.
对新兴拉丁裔/非裔人口的关注:心理适应、非文化压力和应对在佛罗里达中部波多黎各人抑郁症状中的作用。
研究通过使用汇总的拉丁裔/非拉丁裔(泛种族)样本,记录了美国拉丁裔/非拉丁裔之间的文化适应、非文化压力、应对和心理问题之间的关系。然而,这些数据在不同地理背景下特定拉丁裔/非拉丁裔亚群中的普遍性仍然未知。本研究的目的是研究生活在佛罗里达州中部的波多黎各成年人(n113)的心理适应、异文化压力和应对如何帮助预测抑郁群体成员(高、中、低)。多项logistic回归结果表明,与低抑郁组相比,高抑郁组个体更有可能认同增加的异文化压力、增加的适应不良应对策略和更少的适应性应对。中度抑郁组的个体比轻度抑郁组更有可能经历更高的异文化压力,并采取更多的适应不良应对。相互作用的测试表明,异文化压力或应对策略都有助于预测抑郁组的成员。讨论了对美国大陆波多黎各人心理健康的影响。
