Abstract The present study aimed to test the direct and moderating roles of gratitude on Latino adolescent mental health (i.e., depressive symptoms and life satisfaction). Further, informed by the stress process framework, the present study tested the direct associations between several social stressors and resources (i.e., perceived discrimination, positive parenting, and peer social support) and Latino adolescent mental health. The sample comprised of 260 9th grade students who took part in a school-based randomized control trial of a gratitude intervention (Mage = 14.40, SDage = 0.60, 48.8% female). The analyses were based on cross-sectional data from the baseline assessment. Gratitude, positive parenting, peer social support, and discrimination were independently associated with Latino youth mental health. There was some limited support for gratitude as a moderator between positive parenting and depressive symptoms. These results have implications for prevention and intervention efforts to improve Latino youth mental health.

拉丁裔青少年的压力源、资源和心理健康：感恩的作用

摘要 本研究旨在测试感恩对拉丁裔青少年心理健康（即抑郁症状和生活满意度）的直接和调节作用。此外，根据压力过程框架，本研究测试了几种社会压力源和资源（即感知歧视、积极养育和同伴社会支持）与拉丁裔青少年心理健康之间的直接关联。样本由 260 名 9 年级学生组成，他们参加了一项基于学校的感恩干预随机对照试验（Mage = 14.40，SDage = 0.60，48.8% 女性）。分析基于来自基线评估的横截面数据。感恩、积极养育、同伴社会支持和歧视与拉丁裔青年的心理健康独立相关。感恩作为积极养育和抑郁症状之间的调节因素，得到了一些有限的支持。这些结果对改善拉丁裔青年心理健康的预防和干预工作具有影响。
