双文化的压力，压力由于歧视/偏见，移民和文化适应的看法，进行了调查，在城市拉丁裔（n = 304），欧洲裔美国人（n = 215）和亚裔美国人（n = 131）的样本8（第）年级学生的心理健康。在考虑种族、社会经济地位、性别和年龄后，所有种族都报告了双文化压力，并与更多的抑郁症状和更少的乐观情绪（仅女性）显著相关。拉丁裔和亚裔美国年轻人更有可能报告更多的压力源，尽管在控制了社会人口变量后，差异主要只存在于亚裔美国人和欧裔美国人之间。较低的社会经济地位，男性性别，不会说英语也与更多的压力有关。双文化压力对青少年抑郁症状和乐观主义的负面影响表明，心理健康研究人员和服务提供者需要考虑青少年压力的文化背景。(C)2007 Wiley Periodicals，Inc.
The perception of bicultural stress, stress due to discrimination/prejudice, immigration, and acculturation, was investigated in relation to mental well-being in a sample of urban Latino (n = 304), European American (n = 215), and Asian American (n = 131) 8(th) grade students. Bicultural stress was reported by all ethnic groups and was significantly associated with more depressive symptoms and less optimism (only for females), after accounting for ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, and age. Latino and Asian American youth were more likely to report more stressors, although after controlling for sociodemographic variables the differences predominantly remained only between Asian Americans and European Americans. Lower socioeconomic status, male gender, and not speaking English also were associated with more stress. The negative impact of bicultural stress on adolescent depressive symptoms and optimism indicates the need for mental health researchers and service providers to consider the cultural context of stress for adolescents.
