Understanding how Latinx youth cope with discrimination: A call to action.

Racial-ethnic discrimination leads to poorer academic and mental health outcomes for Latinx youth. Although there is a growing literature on the resilience processes that shield Latinx youth from the negative ramifications of these experiences, there is limited work that specifically considers the coping behaviors and processes that youth enact to counter the harmful impact of racial-ethnic discrimination. This limited work is further hampered by a lack of measurement tools that account for the uniqueness of racial-ethnic discrimination as a stressor and the culturally relevant coping strategies endemic to Latinx populations.

It's how I was raised: How ethnic-racial socialization patterns influence antiracism actions in minoritized emerging adults.

Objectives: Research highlights the benefits of critical action on individual and community well-being; however, more needs to be understood about the ways ethnic-racial socialization (ERS) influences emerging adults' participation in antiracism actions.

Method: The present study examined patterns of parental ERS messages received by a sample of 668 racially and ethnically minoritized emerging adult college students ( = 18.76, = 1.

Cultural stress and critical consciousness among Latinx adolescents.

Objective: To examine how cultural stressors (ethnic-racial discrimination, immigration-related threat, and COVID-19 stress) influence critical reflection, motivation, and action among Latinx adolescents and whether parental preparation for bias moderates these relations.

Method: One hundred thirty-five Latinx adolescents ( = 16, 59.3% female, 85.

Parental ethnic-racial socializations messages direct and indirect associations with shift-and-persist coping among minoritized American adolescents.

Objectives: The current cross-sectional study examined whether parental cultural socialization, preparation for bias messages, and adolescents' ethnic-racial identity (ERI) were associated with shift-and-persist coping strategy characterized by reappraising and accepting uncontrollable stressors (e.g., discrimination, poverty) while maintaining purpose and a positive future orientation.

Proactive coping with discrimination: A mediator between ethnic-racial socialization and Latinx youth's internalizing symptoms.

There is a dearth of knowledge in the coping literature on how minoritized youth cope with racism-related stressors and the predictors of effective coping responses. This two-wave study examined the direct and indirect effects of ethnic-racial socialization on depressive and anxiety symptoms via proactive coping with discrimination in a community sample of 135 Latinx adolescents (M  = 16, SD = 1.27; 59% female).

Resilience in the Time of COVID-19: Familial Processes, Coping, and Mental Health in Latinx Adolescents.

Objective: This study investigated COVID-19 stressors and silver linings, familism values, familial resilience, and coping, and their relation to internalizing symptoms among Latinx youth.

Method: A community sample of 135 Latinx adolescents completed online surveys 6-months apart ( age = 16, 59.3% female; majority U.

Familism and psychological wellbeing among Latinx youth: The role of parental alcohol use.

Familism is a central cultural value endorsed by Latinx youth that has been identified as a promotive factor for their psychological wellbeing (Stein et al., 2014). However, in the context of familial stress, familism values may instead serve to increase risk, but this research has not been extended to consider parental alcohol use as a risk context.
