与其他青年相比，拉丁美洲青少年报告了高水平的抑郁症，但对文化特定因素如何导致风险知之甚少（Blazer，Kessler，McGonagle，& Swartz，1994罗伯茨。Roberts，& Chen，1997：Roberts & Sobhan，1992; Twenge & Nolen-Hoeksema，2002）.在这项研究中，我们评估了文化差异（即，在拉丁美洲移民的子女中，文化适应和子女与父母之间的性别角色差异）和抑郁症。与男孩相比。拉丁裔青少年在自己和父母之间的传统性别角色信念和更高水平的抑郁症方面存在更大的差异。性别角色差异与较高的青年抑郁症，这种关系介导的家庭功能障碍的增加。此外，主持人分析表明，性别角色差异的影响可能是最明显的拉丁裔青少年。性别角色差异与女孩而不是男孩的家庭功能较差，虽然交互作用的影响是微不足道的。这些初步结果表明，将文化差异视为青少年抑郁症的一个促成因素非常重要。
Latino adolescents report high levels of depression compared to other youth, yet little is known about how culture-specific factors contribute to risk (Blazer, Kessler, McGonagle, & Swartz, 1994 Roberts. Roberts, & Chen, 1997: Roberts & Sobhan, 1992; Twenge & Nolen-Hoeksema, 2002). In this study we evaluated the link between cultural discrepancy (i.e., perceived acculturation and gender role disparity between children and their parents) and depression among children of Latino immigrants. Compared to boys. Latina adolescents reported greater differences in traditional gender role beliefs between themselves and their parents and higher levels of depression. Gender role discrepancy was associated with higher youth depression, with this relationship mediated by increases in family dysfunction. Moreover, a moderator analysis suggested that gender role discrepancy effects may be most pronounced for Latina adolescents. Gender role discrepancy was associated with poorer family functioning for girls but not for boys, although the interaction effect was only marginally significant. These preliminary results point to the importance of considering cultural discrepancy as a contributing factor to youth depression.
