In recent years, there has been increasing attention on examining the mental health outcomes associated with membership in multiple marginalized groups. Unfortunately, intersectionality research examining the unique experiences of Latinx groups remains scarce. The current article reviews theoretical and methodological considerations regarding intersectionality research within Latinx mental health. From a theoretical perspective, intersectionality brings a series of questions regarding the epistemological approaches to studying psychological phenomena. This, in turn, influences the methodological strategies used to examine these processes. The discussion advances the ongoing discourse regarding the benefits and limitations of integrating intersectionality within research that provides further insight into our Latinx communities. La interseccionalidad considera el significado y las consecuencias asociadas con múltiples identidades a lo largo de sistemas de desventaja y desigualdad entrelazados (Cole, 2009; Crenshaw, 1991). En los últimos años, la investigación de interseccionalidad ha ganado una mayor atención para examinar los resultados de salud mental asociados con la membresía en múltiples grupos desfavorecidos. Desafortunadamente, la investigación de interseccionalidad que examina las experiencias únicas de los grupos Latinx sigue siendo escasa. El manuscrito actual revisa las consideraciones teóricas y metodológicas sobre la investigación de interseccionalidad dentro de la salud mental de Latinx. Desde una perspectiva teórica, la interseccionalidad trae una serie de preguntas con respecto a los enfoques epistemológicos para estudiar los fenómenos psicológicos. Esto, a su vez, influye en las estrategias metodológicas utilizadas para examinar estos procesos. La discusión busca avanzar en el discurso en curso sobre los beneficios y las limitaciones para integrar la interseccionalidad dentro de la investigación que proporciona una mayor comprensión de nuestras comunidades de Latinx.","PeriodicalId":94085,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latina/o psychology","volume":"69 1","pages":"304–317"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73445249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The promising new methods can further our understanding of key factors that research has found to be important in Latinx psychology. In this vein, this special issue highlights how methodological advances can advance research on parenting, relationships, community contexts, intersectional identities, intersectional oppressions, and international contexts. In this issue, we provide examples, insights, and recommendations into qualitative, quantitative, and mixed method approaches. Three empirical examples demonstrate methodology with Latinx populations of children and parents, romantic partners, and adults in community contexts. Three conceptual papers provide guidelines on effective implementation of qualitative methods with Latinx populations, an overview of intersectional approaches to quantitative analyses, and insight into how international collaborations can advance global Latinx psychology. Effective use and application of innovative methods will improve the quality of our research studies and, in turn, enhance the scientific advances we make in Latinx psychology. Han habido grandes avances en la investigación de la psicología Latinx en las últimas dos decadas; y el campo está ahora en condiciones de centrarse en cómo las nuevas metodologías pueden avanzar en la investigación en esta área. Hay muchos métodos prometedores que pueden profundizar nuestra comprensión de los factores claves que las investigaciones han encontrado ser importantes en la psicología Latinx. En esta edición especial, proporcionamos ejemplos, ideas y recomendaciones en enfoques de métodos cualitativos, cuantitativos y mixtos. Tres ejemplos empíricos demuestran metodología con poblaciones Latinx de niños y padres, parejas románticas y adultos en contextos comunitarios. Tres papeles conceptuales ofrecen directrices sobre la aplicación efectiva de los métodos cualitativos con las poblaciones Latinx, una visión general de los enfoques interseccionales de los análisis cuantitativos, y la idea de cómo las colaboraciones internacionales pueden avanzar a nivel mundial la Psicología Latinx.

Within the US, health disparities are evident in Latinx populations. Globally, the health disparities are also evident in Latin America as compared to the US and other economically affluent nations. The diversification of psychology in content and persons has led to a unique opportunity to build bridges that can help reduce disparities inand outside of the US mainland. Collaborations can be of great use in addressing health disparities internationally but also are of critical importance in testing the ecological validity of existing interventions. It is imperative that researchers approach these exchanges as truly collaborative and power even, as researchers in all locations stand to learn and grow from the partnership, otherwise US-based researchers can unwittingly engage intellectual colonization and advance cultural imperialism. US-based researchers must be particularly thoughtful about disparities in both resources and consequences for success and failures in research contexts.

However, exactly how to accomplish the engagement while maintaining scientific rigor is a challenge that investigators face. We contribute to the literature by demonstrating the implementation of a crossover design embedded within a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach. The goal of the study was to disseminate priority health education, which aligned with U.S. Preventive Services Task Force screening guidelines, to Latinas 18 to 65 years of age living in Pima County, Arizona. The use of CBPR was to ensure engagement and increase ownership of the study by the Latina community. To this end, the article discusses the integration of CBPR throughout the crossover study to reach the outcomes of increased knowledge in health education related to sexually transmitted infections and depression that promoted informed health care decisions and increased screening.

However, self-regulation traits, such as effortful control, could protect youth against the negative effects of stressors. Using a resilience framework, we examined the relations of multicultural stressors on depressive and externalizing problems in Latino youth, and tested if effortful control counteracted these relations. We hypothesized that stressors would positively predict depressive and externalizing problems, but that effortful control would compensate against these risks. Latino families with a fifth-grade child (N = 57, mean age = 10.5, 57.9% female, 83% two-parent) living in the Midwest were recruited utilizing community resources. Data were cross-sectionally analyzed using structural equation modeling in Mplus. Stressors were positively associated with depressive and externalizing problems, whereas effortful control had negative direct effects on maladjustment. Results suggest that effortful control may help counteract contextual risks commonly experienced by Latino youth. Los retos de la transición a la adolescencia pueden ser exacerbados para los jóvenes Latinos que, en promedio, tienen experiencias adicionales de estresores únicos tales como la discriminación y la pobreza. Sin embargo, características de la regulación de la emoción, tal como el control esforzado de la atención, pueden proteger a los jóvenes de los efectos negativos del estrés. Objetivos: Usando un marco de resistencia, examinamos las relaciones de los estresores multiculturales con los síntomas depresivos y externalizantes en jóvenes Latinos, y probamos si el control esforzado contrariara estas relaciones. Nuestra hipótesis fue que estresores predecirían positivamente síntomas depresivos, pero que el control esforzado compensaría contra estos riesgos. Métodos: Familias Latinas con hijo/a en el quinto grado (N = 57, edad media = 10.5, 54% niñas, 83% con ambos padres) viviendo en el Medio Oeste fueron reclutadas utilizando recursos de la comunidad. Los datos fueron analizados transversalmente usando modelos de ecuaciones estructurales en MPlus. Resultados: Estresores fueron positivamente asociados con síntomas depresivos y externalizantes mientras que el control esforzado tuvo efectos directos negativos sobre la inadaptación.

Findings suggest that, contrary to previous studies, academic outcomes are not related to immigrant generational status. However, students who adopt the integration acculturation strategy are more likely to have a positive school attitude, while students who use the assimilation strategy are more likely to have a negative school attitude. Students who use the integration strategy also score higher on school effort and educational values than students who use the assimilation strategy. High levels of school effort and educational values are related to both a higher grade point average (GPA) and a more positive school attitude. Conversely, low levels of parental involvement are associated with positive academic outcomes. Students who were thinking of dropping out of college scored lower on school attitude, school effort, and educational values than their counterparts. However, there was no difference in the GPA of the two groups of students. Previous studies on this topic have focused almost exclusively on unidimensional acculturation and school-age children or adolescents. Thus, these studies provide insight into the way that bidimensional acculturation affects academic variables such as GPA, school attitude, parental involvement, school effort, educational values, and bilingualism within a Latina/o college sample. The findings from these studies emphasize the importance of focusing on the values and beliefs of both the host and heritage cultures. Dos estudios examinan el efecto de la aculturación bidimensional sobre el rendimiento académico entre estudiantes universitarios latina/os. Los resultados sugieren que, en contra de estudios anteriores, los rendimientos académicos no están relacionados con el estatus generacional de los inmigrantes. Sin embargo, los estudiantes que adoptan la estrategia de aculturación de integración tienen más probabilidades de tener una actitud escolar positiva, mientras que los estudiantes que utilizan la estrategia de asimilación tienen más probabilidades de tener una actitud escolar negativa. Los estudiantes que usan la estrategia de integración también muestran unos índices superiores en el esfuerzo escolar y en los valores educativos que los estudiantes que usan la estrategia de asimilación. Los altos niveles de esfuerzo escolar y los valores educativos están relacionados con un promedio de calificaciones más alto y una actitud escolar más positiva. En cambio la baja participación de los padres está asociada con rendimientos académicos positivos. Los estudiantes que pensaban abandonar la universidad mostraron niveles inferiores de actitud escolar, esfuerzo escolar y valores educativos al resto de los encuestados.

The first aim was to better understand participants’ perceptions regarding their religiosity, as well as their view of the relationship between religiosity and their well-being. The second aim explored generational influences on participants’ descriptions of religiosity. Using thematic analysis, we found generational differences in how participants described their religiosity. Specifically, Mexican-born immigrants perceived that their religiosity was informed by their social connections, having more life stressors, and traditional upbringing. U.S.-born Mexican Americans, however, perceived themselves as being less interested in social connections and having fewer life stressors relative to than Mexican-born immigrants. These perceptions seemed to contribute to a reduced interest in religion. In addition, participants also viewed religiosity as helping their psychological well-being. This was generally seen with Mexican-born immigrants who described that social support, a religious locus of control, and adherence to religion-specific morals and guidelines were aspects of religiosity commonly connected to their well-being.

La segunda meta explora las diferencias de estatus de generaciones en las descripciones de religiosidad. Usando el análisis temático, encontramos que hay diferencias generacionales en como los participantes describieron su religiosidad. Específicamente, los inmigrantes nacidos en México percibieron que su religiosidad era informada por conexiones sociales, por tener más estrés en la vida, y por la crianza tradicional. Los estadounidenses de origen mexicano nacidos en Estados Unidos, sin embargo, se percibieron como menos interesados en conexiones sociales y con menos estresantes de la vida que los inmigrantes nacidos en México. Estas percepciones parecían contribuir a menor interés por la religiosidad. Además, los participantes también vieron la religiosidad como una ayuda para su bienestar psicológico. Esto se vió generalmente con los inmigrantes nacidos en México que describieron que el apoyo social, el locus de control religioso, y la adherencia a morales y directrices específicas de la religión fueron aspectos de la religiosidad comúnmente relacionado a su bienestar.

The current study examined demographic and psychological factors associated with immigrant Latina/o parent activation in parents seeking mental health services for their children. Additionally, the study tested whether psychological factors (parental depressive symptoms, parenting stress, perceived severity of child psychopathology) were associated with the effectiveness of an activation intervention among immigrant Latina/o parents (MEPREPA— short for “me preparo”/I prepare [MEtas, PReguntar, Escuchar, Preguntar para Aclarar/goals, questioning, listening, questioning to clarify]). Results demonstrated that parenting stress and perceived severity of child psychopathology were associated with lower levels of parent activation. Additionally, although there was a treatment effect for all parents, stratified group analyses suggested that parents with higher depressive symptoms and greater parenting stress benefited more from the MEPREPA intervention compared to controls. Stratified analyses also showed that the intervention had a greater positive impact on parent activation in health care among parents whose children had more severe symptoms.
