We test acculturative stress, Hybrid (HIS) and Alternating (AIS) Identity Styles, and their interaction effects as predictors of psychosocial functioning over a 12-day period among Hispanic American university students. Participants completed measures of acculturative stress, HIS, AIS, and internalizing (anxiety and depression) and externalizing (social aggression and rule-breaking) symptoms on Day 1; on Day 12 they completed the symptom measures a second time. Structural equation modelling was used to examine the Day 1 effects of acculturative stress, cultural identity styles, and their interactions on Day 12 symptoms controlling for the Day 1 symptoms. We hypothesized that acculturative stress would predict more, and the HIS would predict fewer, symptoms and that the AIS would moderate the relationship between acculturative stress and symptoms over time. Results indicated that: (1) acculturative stress predicted an increase in internalizing symptoms; (2) the HIS predicted a decrease in internalizing and externalizing symptoms; and (3) the AIS attenuated the relationship between acculturative stress and externalizing symptoms. The results are discussed in relation to the distinctive features of internalizing and externalizing symptoms, and recommendations for future research are advanced.

适应性压力和文化认同风格是西班牙裔美国人心理社会功能的预测指标
我们在西班牙裔美国大学生中测试了适应性压力,混合(HIS)和交替(AIS)的身份风格,以及它们作为心理社会功能预测因子的相互作用影响,为期12天。参加者在第1天完成了适应性压力,HIS,AIS和内在(焦虑和抑郁)和外在(社会攻击和违反规则)症状的测量;在第12天,他们第二次完成了症状缓解措施。结构方程模型用于检查文化压力,文化身份风格及其在控制第1天症状的第12天症状上的相互作用的第1天效果。我们假设,适应性压力会预测更多,而HIS会预测较少,症状,以及AIS会随着时间的推移缓和适应性压力与症状之间的关系。结果表明:(1)适应性应激预示着内在症状的增加;(2)HIS预测内在和外在症状的减少;(3)AIS减轻了适应性压力与外在症状之间的关系。讨论了有关内在和外在症状的独特特征的结果,并提出了进一步研究的建议。
