目前的研究旨在探讨歧视压力，应对策略和自尊之间的关系墨西哥裔青年（N = 73，年龄11-15岁）。研究结果表明，主要控制参与和脱离应对策略与歧视压力呈正相关。此外，自尊预测的主要控制参与应对和歧视压力的相互作用，这样，在较高水平的歧视压力，青年谁从事更多的主要控制参与应对报告更高的自尊。作者的调查结果表明，墨西哥裔青年正在积极寻找科普负面陈规定型观念和偏见的共同经历的方法，从而保护他们的自尊不受歧视和偏见的压力影响。这些研究结果对拉丁美洲/青年韧性的影响进行了讨论。
The current research is designed to explore the relationship among discrimination stress, coping strategies, and self-esteem among Mexican descent youth (N = 73, age 11-15 years). Results suggest that primary control engagement and disengagement coping strategies are positively associated with discrimination stress. Furthermore, self-esteem is predicted by an interaction of primary control engagement coping and discrimination stress, such that at higher levels of discrimination stress, youth who engaged in more primary control engagement coping reported higher self-esteem. The authors' findings indicate that Mexican descent youth are actively finding ways to cope with the common experience of negative stereotypes and prejudice, such that their self-esteem is protected from the stressful impact of discrimination and prejudice. Implications of these findings for Latino/a youth resilience are discussed.
