Research highlights distinct temperamental, cultural, and behavioral characteristics that may contribute to the differential experience and impact of acculturative stress in Latinx youth. The current study aims to explain the risk of developing anxiety and depression by clarifying how acculturative stress interacts with individual temperamental (behavioral inhibition), cultural (values), and behavioral (active coping) characteristics in a sample of 161 Latinx youth. Main analyses included a separate hierarchical linear regression for each potential moderating variable with anxiety and depression as the outcome variable. Results indicated a significant and positive relationship between acculturative stress, anxiety, and depression. Furthermore, active coping moderated the relationship between acculturative stress and depression, such that higher levels of active coping resulted in a stronger relationship between acculturative stress and depression than at lower levels. Findings from the current study make advancements towards an understanding of individual characteristics that interact with the experience of acculturative stress, anxiety, and depression.

研究强调了独特的气质、文化和行为特征，这些特征可能有助于拉丁裔青年的文化适应压力的不同体验和影响。目前的研究旨在通过在 161 名拉丁裔青年样本中阐明文化适应压力如何与个人气质（行为抑制）、文化（价值观）和行为（积极应对）特征相互作用，来解释发展焦虑和抑郁的风险。主要分析包括以焦虑和抑郁作为结果变量的每个潜在调节变量的单独分层线性回归。结果表明，文化适应压力、焦虑和抑郁之间存在显着的正相关关系。此外，积极应对调节了文化适应压力和抑郁之间的关系，因此，与较低水平的积极应对相比，更高水平的积极应对导致文化适应压力和抑郁之间的关系更强。当前研究的结果有助于理解与文化适应压力、焦虑和抑郁体验相互作用的个体特征。
