This study uses an ecocultural framework to identify socialization factors that promote the development of Latina science identities. Thirty-two college-aged Latinas in science-related majors participated in focus groups, and an additional 12 participated in interviews. Using interactive qualitative analysis (Northcutt & McCoy, 2004), we found 8 factors that influenced the development of a science identity: home environment, teacher influences, school experiences, contextual factors, media, using your brain, emotions, and career planning. Participants saw the first 4 factors as initiators of their development, with media as an irregular contributor. These environmental factors were filtered through the individual factors of using your brain and emotions, with career planning as the outcome. The results overall support that Latina science identity development results from a system of influences, with parents and teachers providing the foundations of interest and school experiences providing the impetus toward specific subject matter.","PeriodicalId":94085,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latina/o psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91040495","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}

Los investigadores han estudiado a los/as Latinos/as como un grupo homogéneo. Hasta ahora, poca atención se le ha dado a la forma en que el proceso de socialización racial impacta de manera diferente al desarrollo de la identidad racial y étnica en Latinos de piel clara y oscura. A través de las experiencias de nueve Latinas, este estudio ilustra las experiencias de socialización racial y el efecto multifacético en la construcción de la identidad étnica y racial. De acuerdo con las conclusiones de este estudio, el proceso de socialización racial de las Latinas no las prepara para la discriminación. Esto puede ser perjudicial para los/as Latinos/as de piel oscura, ya que ellos pueden ser discriminados. Además, aunque se las prepare, las Latinas de piel oscura no se benefician necesariamente del proceso de socialización racial debido a las experiencias raciales y los estereotipos étnicos que existen fuera del entorno familiar, en el contexto de la sociedad de los Estados Unidos.","PeriodicalId":94085,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latina/o psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87937867","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}

Familism has been described as a Latino cultural value that emphasizes obligation, filial piety, family support and obedience, and its effects have been documented as primarily protective across childhood and adolescence. This review seeks to organize and critique existing research using a developmental science framework. Key tenets of this perspective that are highlighted in the review are close consideration of how familism develops within an individual across time, manifests itself at different points in development, and impacts child, adolescent, and family functioning. Forty-four articles were examined and categorized with results showing that the protective influence of familism is most evident during the period of adolescence. Consideration of expressions of familism and the impact of familism on outcomes during earlier and later periods of development is offered as a recommendation for deriving a more complete understanding of the function of familism in Latino families.","PeriodicalId":94085,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latina/o psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77039369","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}

Se llevo a cabo un analisis de poblacion retrospectivo de 23,028 blancos NH, negros NH, e hispanos admitidos en un hospital comunitario para personas de bajos recursos.

Per the integrative model of child development (Garcia Coll et al., 1996), experiences in the school, familial, and community settings can foster the development of cognitive, social, and emotional competencies in the presence of racism and discrimination. The current study evaluated how perceptions of discrimination and support in the school setting influenced school belonging, college-going self-efficacy, and depressive symptoms in a sample of Latino youth (N = 179). We distinguished between peers and nonparental adults as the sources of discrimination and support. Overall, peer support was associated with all three outcomes, suggesting peers as a positive resource. Adult support was only significant in the school belonging model. Findings supported a limited moderating role for peer support on peer discrimination, but only for the depressive symptoms outcome. Implications and suggestions for mental health practitioners are offered.","PeriodicalId":94085,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latina/o psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79499920","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}

El efecto mediado por la retencion de la herencia cultural para la satisfaccion con la vida a traves de la autoestima personal tambien fue significativa. La relacion de la autoestima personal al bienestar subjetivo fue significativa en ambos sexos, pero mas fuerte para las mujeres que resultan en un efecto mediado mas fuerte de la retencion de la herencia cultural en la satisfaccion con la vida de las mujeres que en los hombres.
