Drawing upon sensitive interaction systems theory, this study investigated Latinx immigrant youth’s indirect and direct disclosures about their family-undocumented experiences (i.e., informing others of their own or family’s undocumented experiences, including details surrounding their undocumented situation) to a teacher(s) or a friend(s). Furthermore, this study examined how such disclosures relate to subsequent disclosure and to received emotional support across an academic year. Received emotional support, in turn, was theorized to predict youth’s depressive symptoms. Survey data were collected in the beginning, middle, and end of the 2015-2016 academic year from 410 Latinx family-undocumented students (ninth-12th grades). Latinx students reported more indirect than direct disclosures about their family-undocumented experiences, potentially as a way to seek support. They also reported greater indirect and direct disclosure about their family-undocumented experiences to a friend(s) compared with a teacher(s). Emotional support did not significantly mediate the associations between disclosure and depressive symptoms; however, indirect and direct disclosures to a friend(s) positively related to depressive symptoms within various waves.

Latinx移民青年关于他们家庭无证件经历，获得的情感支持和抑郁症状的间接和直接披露

这项研究利用敏感的互动系统理论，调查了拉丁裔移民青年向教师或教师间接或直接披露有关其家庭无证件经历的信息（即，向其他人告知自己或家庭的无证件经历，包括有关其无证件情况的细节）。一个朋友。此外，本研究研究了此类披露与后续披露以及整个学年中获得的情感支持之间的关系。从理论上讲，获得情感支持可预测年轻人的抑郁症状。在2015-2016学年的开始，中期和结束时，收集了410名Latinx家庭无证学生（第9-12年级）的调查数据。与未公开的家庭经历相比，拉丁裔学生报告的间接报道要多于直接公开，可能是寻求支持的一种方式。与老师相比，他们还向朋友报告了更多间接和直接的家庭无证经历披露给朋友。情绪支持并未显着介导披露与抑郁症状之间的联系。但是，间接和直接向朋友披露与各种情绪低落的症状正相关。
