OBJECTIVES Language brokering (LB) often occurs in public places, putting youth who broker at risk for experiencing discrimination while engaging in brokering. Guided by the risk and resilience theoretical framework, the present study goals were twofold: (a) to examine the association between discrimination and LB, and (b) to explore moderating abilities of ethnic identity and family dynamics. METHOD Data were collected from 458 young adults (Mage = 21.36, 80% female). Participants were from a diverse region in the United States, and a majority of them self-identified as Latino (66.2%). Participants were invited to complete a one-time online survey about their LB and family experiences. RESULTS We found that discrimination was negatively associated with LB for these young people. Specifically, discrimination was related to higher LB burden and higher LB role reversal, and lower LB efficacy. In addition, we found that ethnic-racial identity (ERI) acted as a moderator of LB role reversal against discrimination, and that negative family dynamics moderated the association between discrimination and LB. Positive family dynamics were not successful in buffering against negative effects of discrimination. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate that young people who broker seem to be negatively impacted by discrimination. The effects of discrimination on LB role reversal could be alleviated by strong ERI; however, the same is not true for LB burden and LB efficacy. Furthermore, negative family dynamics exacerbated the negative effects of discrimination on LB, and positive family dynamics did not serve as a buffer against discrimination. Implications for those working with language brokers are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).

歧视和语言中介的经验:探索风险和保护因素。

目标 语言中介 (LB) 经常发生在公共场所,使中介青年在从事中介活动时面临遭受歧视的风险。在风险和复原力理论框架的指导下,本研究的目标是双重的:(a)检查歧视与 LB 之间的关联,以及(b)探索种族认同和家庭动态的调节能力。方法 从 458 名年轻人(法师 = 21.36,80% 女性)中收集数据。参与者来自美国的不同地区,其中大多数人自称为拉丁裔(66.2%)。参与者被邀请完成一项关于他们的 LB 和家庭经历的一次性在线调查。结果 我们发现歧视与这些年轻人的 LB 呈负相关。具体来说,歧视与较高的 LB 负担和较高的 LB 角色逆转以及较低的 LB 功效有关。此外,我们发现种族-种族认同 (ERI) 是 LB 角色逆转反对歧视的调节因子,而负面的家庭动态调节了歧视与 LB 之间的关联。积极的家庭动态未能成功缓冲歧视的负面影响。结论 我们的研究结果表明,从事中介的年轻人似乎受到歧视的负面影响。强ERI可以减轻歧视对LB角色逆转的影响;然而,对于 LB 负担和 LB 功效而言,情况并非如此。此外,消极的家庭动态加剧了歧视对 LB 的负面影响,而积极的家庭动态并不能作为歧视的缓冲。讨论了对那些与语言经纪人合作的人的影响。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA,保留所有权利)。
