Consequently, autobiographical life narratives of Latino/a psychologists may give Latino psychologists, psychology students, and early career professionals access to effective role modeling (Livo & Rietz, 1986) and guidance (Comas-Diaz, 1994). This study examined the published life narratives (n = 20) of 18 self-identified Latino/a psychologists published between 1999 and 2014. Using thematic analysis, 5 themes were identified: personal and professional development, cultural identities, collective identity, intercultural shifting and transformation of values. These themes are explored in detail, including subthemes and exemplar quotations. Researchers explored how the focus on challenges and barriers within the life narratives may impact readers. Additionally, researchers discussed the influence storytelling and autobiographical life narratives may have on future generations of Latino/a psychologists. La falta de acceso a modelos de facultad latinos/as es una preocupación significativa dentro de la psicología (Padilla, Treviño, Treviño, & González, 1997).

We incorporated database searches and reviews of relevant publication reference lists and tables of contents of journals that typically publish research on Latina/o samples. We used several search terms, such as gender role, sex role, Hispanic, Latino, machismo, and marianismo, and the following inclusion criteria: (a) published between 1982 and 2013; (b) published or translated into English; (c) empirically based; (d) psychology-focused research questions; and (e) involving a majority of Latina/o participants. Studies that met these criteria (n = 56) were categorized into 1 of the following content areas: gender role attitudes, beliefs, and identity (n = 14); personality functioning (11); education, career, and work (9); interpersonal relationships (9); acculturation (8); and instrument development (5). We also analyzed the types of methods researchers used, which included qualitative methods, quantitative methods involving either the use of common instruments (e.g., Bem Scale, Attitudes Toward Women), or culturally based instruments (e.g., Machismo Measure, Marianismo Beliefs Scale), and mixed methods, involving both qualitative and quantitative methods. Findings also included descriptions of sample characteristics (i.e., gender, age, race, ethnicity, sample size). Implications for future research are discussed relative to the impact of gender role conceptualizations on findings, such as cultural (e.g., machismo, marianismo) or egalitarian perspectives and the need to develop more rigorous, culturally based gender role measures. Para explorar el rol de genero entre Latinas/os en la literatura psicológico, nosotros conducimos un análisis de estudios empíricos basado en roles de género. Incorporamos bases de dato, revisamos listas de referencia en publicaciones relevantes, y también las listas de contenidos de revistas, que típicamente publican investigaciones sobre tamaños de nuestras Latina/os. Incorporamos varios términos de búsqueda, como por ejemplo, rol de género, expresión de género, rol de sexo, hispano, Latino, machismo, y marianismo. Usamos el siguiente criterio de inclusión: (a) artículos publicados entre 1982 y el 2013; (b) artículos publicados o traducido al inglés; (c) experimentalmente basados; (d) preguntas de investigación enfocada en la psicología; y (e) artículos que incluyeron la mayoria de participantes Latina/o.

Because of this, it is important to identify factors that may contribute to obesity among Latina/o youth. We explored the relationships among internal health locus of control (IHLOC), cultural factors (cultural orientation, ethnic identity), and Latina/o adolescents’ body mass index (BMI; an index of obesity and overweight). One hundred twenty-eight Latina/o adolescents (ages 13–18 years) completed a series of questionnaires to assess ethnic identity (i.e., affirmation-belonging and participation), cultural orientation (i.e., Latina/o cultural orientation and Anglo cultural orientation), and IHLOC. We also obtained participants’ reports of weight and height, which were used to calculate BMI. Results indicated that there was an inverse association between IHLOC and BMI; specifically, the greater internal control the adolescents perceived they had over their health, the lower their BMI. As expected, Latina/o cultural orientation moderated this relation, such that at moderate and high levels of Latina/o cultural orientation, IHLOC was associated with lower BMI. Contrary to expectations, ethnic identity affirmation-belonging moderated this relation in the opposite direction, such that at low and moderate levels of ethnic identity affirmation-belonging, IHLOC was associated with lower BMI. The importance of IHLOC, cultural factors, and context in obesity among Latina/o youth and the implications of these results for obesity intervention programming are discussed.

Additionally, the current study examined the way in which individual factors mediated the effects of family functioning on mental health problems in Latino youth. Eighty Latino parent-adolescent dyads participated in the current study, including 66 mothers and 14 fathers, as well as 42 female early adolescents and 38 male early adolescents. Parents and youth completed questionnaires assessing the incidence of mental health problems in youth, and adolescents completed additional questionnaires assessing acculturation, family functioning, familism, and global self-worth. Results indicated that adolescent acculturation was not significantly related to mental health outcomes in youth. However, adolescents’ reports of increased family functioning predicted decreased externalizing problems in youth, as well as increased levels of familism and global self-worth in youth. Increased levels of familism predicted decreased externalizing problems in youth, and increased levels of global self-worth predicted decreased internalizing and externalizing problems in youth. Mediation results indicated that individual factors mediated the effects of family functioning on externalizing problems in youth. These results highlight the associations between family functioning, familism, global self-worth and the incidence of mental health problems and provide valuable information on the way in which individual variables mediate the effects of family functioning on mental health problems in Latino early adolescents.

The present study uses longitudinal structural equation modeling techniques to identify how parents' socioeconomic status (SES) and youth's length of U.S. residence are associated with adolescent academic outcomes and, in turn, educational attainment in adulthood. The sample included 1,207 Mexican- and Central American-origin youth participants in the Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study (CILS).

We examined levels of depressive symptoms and depression caseness (i.e., clinically significant levels of depressive symptoms) and psychosocial correlates among foreign-born Latinas living in a new immigrant destination. One hundred fourteen Latinas participated: 93% Mexican-born (Mage = 37.3 years, SD = 5.7, age range = 25–53 years). Most of the women (86%) had been in the United States 10 years or longer but did not have legal documents (80.7%). Depressive symptoms were measured with a short version of the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Depression caseness was defined as a score of 10 or higher on the short CES-D. Age, education, family income, time living in the United States, family cohesion, social support, undocumented status, and undocumented stress were examined as correlates of depressive symptoms and depression caseness. The mean level of depressive symptoms was 5.5, and 17.5% of participants met the criteria for depression caseness. Regression analysis showed that both lower family cohesion and lower social support were associated with greater depressive symptoms but that only lower social support was associated with depression caseness. Undocumented women experienced higher levels of undocumented stress than did documented women; however, they neither reported more depressive symptoms nor were they more likely to meet the criterion for depression caseness. Helping foreign-born Latinas strengthen their family cohesion and social support, as well as fostering support services for immigrant women and their families, could contribute to fewer depressive symptoms and better mental health among this vulnerable population.

We conducted inductive thematic analysis and found that Mexican American college students identified definitions of success related to 3 themes: academic (e.g., school success), individual (e.g., personal qualities), and social (e.g., positive family relationships) factors. Further, factors relating to the individual (e.g., school involvement), relationships (e.g., supportive family), and the environment (e.g., resource availability) emerged as important contributors to youth success. Academic success, youths’ personal qualities, and positive and supportive family relationships and friendships were of particular importance to Mexican American college students’ perspectives on definitions of youth success and contributors to youth success.

However, the relation between bicultural stress and hopelessness or depressive symptoms may vary among Mexican descent adolescents. In particular, ethnic identity status, based on ethnic exploration and ethnic resolution, may protect or increase vulnerability to bicultural stressors. Participants included 522 Mexican descent adolescents (53.1% female; age range 14 to 18 years: M = 16.22 years, SD = 1.09 years) who completed a self-report survey at a school on the U.S./Mexico border with 97% Latina/o concentration. Three ethnic identity statuses (diffused, foreclosed, and achieved) were identified in this sample using cluster analysis based on ethnic identity exploration and resolution. A multiple group path analysis found that more hopelessness was significantly associated with more bicultural stress among diffused and achieved youth. Depressive symptoms were associated with bicultural stress only for achieved youth. Diffused ethnic identity youth reported the highest rates of hopelessness, and they reported more hopelessness when they reported higher rates of bicultural stress. Contrary to hypotheses, achieved ethnic identity status youth reported a significant association between bicultural stress and both hopelessness and depressive symptoms. Our results suggest that achieved ethnic identity may not necessarily be an unmitigated protective factor, particularly when considering intragroup marginalization in areas of high Latina/o concentration. Síntomas de depresión en adolecentes latino/as están asociados con estrés bicultural, tal como discriminación de otros grupos sociales, marginación entre sus propio grupo étnico, hablando solo un idioma en situaciones bilingües, y conflictos culturales entre familia.
