主观社会地位与一系列健康结果相关。很少有研究测试美国拉丁裔主观社会地位的相关性。那些产生了好坏参半的结果的研究。数据来自 2003 年全国拉丁裔和亚裔美国人研究的拉丁裔子样本 (N = 2554)。根据社会经济和人口因素调整回归模型。分层分析测试了出生状况是否会改变主观社会地位对健康的影响。主观社会地位与更好的健康状况相关。对于美国出生的拉美裔人来说，收入和教育对健康的影响比主观社会地位更重要。然而，拉美裔移民的情况好坏参半，主观社会地位比收入更能预测，但比教育程度更弱。主观社会地位可能会利用压力移民经历，影响一个人的自我价值感，并捕捉传统社会经济措施所遗漏的社会心理后果和社会劣势。
Subjective social status is associated with a range of health outcomes. Few studies have tested the relevance of subjective social status among Latinos in the U.S.; those that have yielded mixed results. Data come from the Latino subsample of the 2003 National Latino and Asian American Study (N = 2554). Regression models adjusted for socioeconomic and demographic factors. Stratified analyses tested whether nativity status modifies the effect of subjective social status on health. Subjective social status was associated with better health. Income and education mattered more for health than subjective social status among U.S.-born Latinos. However, the picture was mixed among immigrant Latinos, with subjective social status more strongly predictive than income but less so than education. Subjective social status may tap into stressful immigrant experiences that affect one's perceived self-worth and capture psychosocial consequences and social disadvantage left out by conventional socioeconomic measures.
