The present 21-day daily diary study (conducted 2021–2022) tested anger and racism-related vigilance as potential transdiagnostic mediators linking exposure to racial and ethnic discrimination (RED) to distress (negative affect and stress, respectively). The data analytic sample included N = 317 Mexican-origin adolescents (M_age = 13.5 years; 50.8% male, 46.7% female; 2.5% non-binary) from the Midwestern United States. Results from longitudinal mediation models revealed significant mediation effects through anger and racism-related vigilance, respectively, in the association between daily RED and daily distress, both within and across adolescents. Implications for theory, research, and practice are discussed so that future work can leverage these novel findings toward promoting the well-being of Mexican-origin adolescents, especially those who live in contexts of ethnoracial adversity.

墨西哥裔青少年歧视和痛苦的每日日记研究：测试中介机制


目前为期 21 天的每日日记研究（2021-2022 年进行）测试了愤怒和与种族主义相关的警惕性，它们是将暴露于种族和民族歧视 （RED） 与痛苦（分别为负面影响和压力）联系起来的潜在跨诊断介质。数据分析样本包括来自美国中西部的 N = 317 名墨西哥裔青少年（M_年龄 = 13.5 岁;50.8% 男性，46.7% 女性;2.5% 非二元性别）。纵向中介模型的结果显示，在青少年内部和之间，愤怒和种族主义相关警惕分别在每日 RED 和日常痛苦之间的关联中具有显着的中介作用。讨论了对理论、研究和实践的影响，以便未来的工作可以利用这些新发现来促进墨西哥裔青少年的福祉，尤其是那些生活在种族逆境中的青少年。
