OBJECTIVE U.S. Latinx youth are at increased risk for internalizing problems, perhaps due to high levels of bicultural stress. Taking a resilience perspective, this study examined peer and parent support as potential protective factors that might buffer the effects of bicultural stress on depression and anxiety symptoms among U.S. Latinx youth. METHOD Participants were 306 Midwestern U.S. Latinx adolescents (M age = 15.50%, 46.2% girls) and their primary caregivers who completed individual interviews. Measures included two types of cultural stress (acculturative and enculturative stress) and, for each type, distinguished the extent of exposure to stressors from the subjective intensity of stress reported. RESULTS Results indicated that acculturative and enculturative stress were positively associated with internalizing symptoms, while social support from peers and parents was negatively associated with symptoms. Evidence regarding a stress-buffering effect of social support was mixed. Whereas higher levels of peer support mitigated the effects of subjective acculturative stress on depression and anxiety symptoms, parental support did not show a buffering effect. Moreover, in some cases, cultural stress appeared to attenuate the beneficial effect of social support. CONCLUSIONS Although there was some support for the stress-buffering hypothesis, the impact of bicultural stressors depended on the type of stress considered and whether the focus was on exposure to stressors or subjective stress, as well as the source of social support. The findings highlight the complex effects of bicultural stress on U.S. Latinx youth mental health. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).

美国拉丁裔青年的双文化压力和内化症状：同伴和父母支持的调节作用。

目标 美国拉丁裔青年面临内化问题的风险增加，这可能是由于双重文化压力较高。从复原力的角度来看，这项研究将同伴和父母的支持视为潜在的保护因素，可能会缓冲双文化压力对美国拉丁裔青少年抑郁和焦虑症状的影响。方法 参与者为 306 名美国中西部拉丁裔青少年（男性年龄 = 15.50%，46.2% 为女孩）及其主要照顾者，他们完成了个人访谈。测量包括两种类型的文化压力（文化适应压力和文化适应压力），并且对于每种类型，将暴露于压力源的程度与报告的压力的主观强度区分开来。结果结果表明，文化适应和文化压力与内化症状呈正相关，而来自同伴和父母的社会支持与症状呈负相关。关于社会支持的压力缓冲作用的证据好坏参半。虽然较高水平的同伴支持减轻了主观文化压力对抑郁和焦虑症状的影响，但父母的支持并没有表现出缓冲作用。此外，在某些情况下，文化压力似乎削弱了社会支持的有益效果。结论 虽然压力缓冲假说得到了一些支持，但双文化压力源的影响取决于所考虑的压力类型、重点是暴露于压力源还是主观压力，以及社会支持的来源。研究结果强调了双文化压力对美国拉丁裔青少年心理健康的复杂影响。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
