使用生命历程的视角，本研究测试了“关联生活”的概念，该概念不仅适用于种族/民族歧视如何与歧视目标的不良心理健康相关的问题，而且适用于歧视如何加剧目标社会网络中其他人的歧视-痛苦联系-在这种情况下，是家庭。对269名墨西哥裔青少年及其父母进行了纵向和横断面调查。假设父母的歧视经历会通过调节目标青少年歧视-痛苦联系而对青少年子女的心理健康产生不利影响。对目标父母也有相反的假设。采用多水平调节分析，检验父母歧视经历对青少年歧视-困扰关系的调节作用。我们还检验了青少年歧视经历对父母歧视-痛苦关系的调节作用。父母的歧视经历显著调节了青少年歧视压力评价与心理健康之间的纵向关联，即父亲的歧视经历加剧了青少年歧视与抑郁之间的联系。青少年的歧视压力评价对父母歧视-心理健康的横截面关系没有显著的调节作用。本文从关联生活的角度讨论了这些发现的含义，强调了父亲的歧视经历如何对正在应对歧视的青少年的心理健康产生不利影响。
Using a life course perspective, the present study tested the concept of “linked lives” applied to the problem of not only how racial/ethnic discrimination may be associated with poor mental health for the target of discrimination but also how discrimination may exacerbate the discrimination—distress link for others in the target’s social network--in this case, the family. The discrimination—distress link was investigated among 269 Mexican-origin adolescents and their parents both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. It was hypothesized that parents’ discrimination experiences would adversely affect their adolescent children’s mental health via a moderating effect on the target adolescent discrimination—distress link. The converse was also hypothesized for the target parents. Multilevel moderation analyses were conducted to test the moderating effect of parents’ discrimination experiences on the youth discrimination—distress link. We also tested the moderating effect of youths’ discrimination experiences on the parent discrimination—distress link. Parents’ discrimination experiences significantly moderated the longitudinal association between youths’ discrimination stress appraisals and mental health, such that the father’s discrimination experiences exacerbated the youth discrimination—depression link. Youths’ discrimination stress appraisals were not a significant moderator of the cross-sectional parent discrimination—mental health association. Implications of these findings are discussed from a linked lives perspective, highlighting how fathers’ discrimination experiences can adversely affect youths who are coping with discrimination, in terms of their mental health.
