There is abundant evidence about the negative impact of discrimination on well-being, but less research on factors that can reduce this negative effect, mainly focused on North American samples and with incipient development on South–South migration. The objective of this research was to analyze the effect of ethnic identity on the relationship between the experience of racial and ethnic discrimination and psychological well-being in Colombian immigrants living in Chile. A total of 962 immigrants over the age of 18 from three cities in Chile participated. Of these, 50.7% were women. The average age was 35 years (SD = 10.23). Participants were evaluated using Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scales, Phinney’s adapted version of the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Scale, and Krieger’s Discrimination Experience Scale. After the analysis of the measurement models, a mediation model was analyzed using structural equations. The results provide evidence that ethnic and racial discrimination have negative effects on psychological well-being, with the effect of racial discrimination being greater. Likewise, ethnic identity has positive effects on psychological well-being and partially and completely mediates the effects of ethnic and racial discrimination on psychological well-being. The full effect of discrimination on psychological well-being, mediated by ethnic identity, is exercised only by racial discrimination and not by ethnic discrimination.

种族认同作为南南迁徙人口歧视与心理健康之间关系的中介者

有大量证据表明歧视对幸福感的负面影响，但对减少这种负面影响的因素的研究较少，主要集中在北美样本以及南南移民的初期发展。这项研究的目的是分析种族身份对居住在智利的哥伦比亚移民的种族和族裔歧视经历与心理健康之间的关系的影响。来自智利三个城市的962名18岁以上的移民参加了该活动。其中，女性占50.7％。平均年龄为35岁（SD = 10.23）。使用Ryff的心理健康量表，Phinney的多族裔民族认同量表和Krieger的歧视经历量表对参与者进行了评估。在对测量模型进行分析之后，使用结构方程对调解模型进行了分析。结果提供了证据，种族和种族歧视对心理健康有负面影响，种族歧视的影响更大。同样，族裔认同对心理健康也有积极影响，而部分和全部调解了种族和种族歧视对心理健康的影响。由种族认同所介导的歧视对心理健康的充分影响只能由种族歧视而不是种族歧视来行使。种族歧视的影响更大。同样，族裔认同对心理健康也有积极影响，而部分和全部调解了种族和种族歧视对心理健康的影响。由种族认同所介导的歧视对心理健康的充分影响只能由种族歧视而不是种族歧视来行使。种族歧视的影响更大。同样，族裔认同对心理健康也有积极影响，而部分和全部调解了种族和种族歧视对心理健康的影响。由种族认同所介导的歧视对心理健康的充分影响只能由种族歧视而不是种族歧视来行使。
