OBJECTIVES Millions of Venezuelans have left their country in search of safety and stability in the United States (U.S.) and Colombia, two countries where recent increases in anti-immigrant rhetoric and sentiment have occurred. The Perceived Negative Context of Reception Scale captures the degree to which immigrants report feeling that people from their country are unwanted/marginalized within their new receiving context. In the present study, we examine the psychometric properties of the Perceived Negative Context of Reception Scale with recent Venezuelan immigrant adolescents and adults in the U.S. and Colombia. METHOD We conducted confirmatory factor analysis using data from the Colombia and Miami's Newest Arrivals (CAMINAR) Study, which collected data from Venezuelan adults in Bogotá, Colombia, and South Florida in October-November 2017, and the Venezolanos en Nuevos Entornos (VENE) Youth Project which surveyed Venezuelan youth living in Florida between November 2018 and July 2019. RESULTS We found that the negative context of reception evidenced strong psychometric properties among immigrants in both the U.S. and in Colombia, among adolescents and adults, and among male and female respondents. We also found that negative context of reception scores was associated with elevated scores on criterion-related factors-that is, perceived discrimination and depressive symptoms-in ways that are theoretically coherent and support measure validity. CONCLUSION We provide new evidence that the Perceived Negative Context of Reception scale is reliable and valid for use with Venezuelan immigrants in the U.S. and Colombia.

对最近抵达哥伦比亚和美国的委内瑞拉移民的接收量表的感知负面背景的验证。

目标 数百万委内瑞拉人离开他们的国家，前往美国（US）和哥伦比亚寻求安全和稳定，这两个国家的反移民言论和情绪最近都在增加。接收量表的感知负面背景反映了移民报告认为来自他们国家的人在他们的新接收环境中不受欢迎/被边缘化的程度。在本研究中，我们研究了美国和哥伦比亚最近的委内瑞拉移民青少年和成年人的接收量表的感知负面背景的心理测量特性。方 和 Venezolanos en Nuevos Entornos (VENE) 青年项目，该项目调查了 2018 年 11 月至 2019 年 7 月期间居住在佛罗里达州的委内瑞拉青年。结果我们发现，接受的负面背景证明了美国和哥伦比亚移民以及青少年中的强烈心理测量特性和成年人，以及男性和女性受访者。我们还发现，接收分数的负面背景与标准相关因素（即感知歧视和抑郁症状）的分数升高相关，其方式在理论上是连贯的并支持测量有效性。结论 我们提供了新的证据，表明接收量表的感知负面背景对于在美国和哥伦比亚的委内瑞拉移民使用是可靠和有效的。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
