虽然研究发现，文化适应压力与拉丁美洲人的不良心理调整密切相关，但这种关系存在的机制尚不清楚。本研究的目的是探讨行为和认知资源的作用，积极应对和自我效能，分别作为中介的文化适应压力和抑郁症之间的关系样本的拉丁美洲/O成人（N = 469）。多元中介分析表明，积极应对在文化适应压力与抑郁症状严重程度之间起部分中介作用。文化适应压力通过自我效能感与抑郁症状严重程度的间接关系不显著。结果表明，文化适应压力直接关系到拉丁美洲人的心理适应，和较低的行为积极应对部分解释了这种关系。结果进行了讨论的背景下，基于文化的压力和应对模式，其中压力源和随后的心理调整之间的关系的压力源的需求和个人的资源之间的配合程度的影响。治疗和理论的影响进行了讨论。
Although research has found that acculturative stress is significantly associated with adverse psychological adjustment among Latinos, the mechanism by which this relationship exists is not clearly understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of behavioral and cognitive resources active coping and self-efficacy, respectively as mediators of the relationship between acculturative stress and depression among a sample of Latina/o adults (N = 469). Multiple mediator analysis indicated that active coping partially mediated the relationship between acculturative stress and depression symptom severity. The indirect relationship of acculturative stress to depression symptom severity through self-efficacy was not significant. The results suggest that acculturative stress directly relates to Latino psychological adjustment, and lower behavioral active coping partially accounts for this relationship. Results are discussed in the context of culturally based stress and coping models, wherein the relationship between stressors and subsequent psychological adjustment is influenced by the degree of fit between stressor demands and individuals' resources. Implications for treatment and theory are discussed.
