这项探索性研究探讨了是否更高水平的歧视墨西哥移民在美国（美国）与墨西哥青少年的移民意向。我从2009年2月在墨西哥蒂华纳接受调查的980名青少年学生中抽取了755名样本，这些学生表示他们有兴趣移民到美国生活或工作。有392名男性参与者（51.9%）和363名女性参与者（48.1%），参与者的平均年龄为16岁。65%以上的参与者出生在墨西哥蒂华纳，62%以上的参与者表示，按照社会经济地位量表衡量，他们的家庭社会经济地位很低，属于中等水平。大多数参与者的母亲（74.2%）和父亲（68.6%）的教育程度低于高中。多变量OLS回归控制性别，年龄和社会经济地位。结果表明，较高水平的感知歧视在美国是一个中等显着的预测较低的移民意向墨西哥青少年谁确定，他们想在美国生活或工作，但较高水平的感知歧视并没有显着预测较低的移民意向的参与者，谁表示，他们觉得他们必须搬到美国工作和支持他们的家庭。
This exploratory study examined whether higher levels of perceived discrimination against Mexican immigrants in the United States (USA) were related to the migration intentions of Mexican adolescents. I drew the data for this study from a sample of 755 from a total of 980 adolescent students surveyed in Tijuana, Mexico in February 2009, who indicated they had some interest to migrate to the USA to either live or work in the USA. There were 392 male participants (51.9%) and 363 female participants (48.1%), with a mean age of the participants of 16 similar to years. Over 65 per cent of the participants were born in Tijuana, Mexico and over 62 per cent of the participants indicated that their families had very low to average socio-economic status, as measured by an SES scale. The majority of participants' mothers (74.2%) and fathers (68.6%) had less than a high school education. Multivariate OLS regressions were run controlling for gender, age and socio-economic status. Results indicated that higher levels of perceived discrimination in the USA were a moderately significant predictor of lower migration intentions among Mexican adolescents who identified that they wanted to live or work in the USA, but higher levels of perceived discrimination did not significantly predict lower migration intentions among participants, who indicated that they felt they had to move to the USA to work and support their families.
