The message that one’s contributions are devalued can be a significant way that youth experience marginalization during the transition into adulthood. Participants (N = 298, M_age = 19.47 years, 51% female) reported having their ideas, opinions, and contributions being unwelcomed due to their ethnicity and gender. African American, Latinx, and Asian American young women indicated the most frequent devalued contributions. Devalued contributions due to ethnicity and gender were most strongly linked among these groups and Multiethnic youth than European American youth. Devalued contributions predicted depressive symptoms, feeling more needed and useful by society, and a greater sense of purpose beyond a traditional measure of discrimination. Assessing experiences of devalued contributions can provide a more thorough understanding of how marginalization shapes the transition to adulthood.

一个人的贡献被贬低的信息可能是青年在过渡到成年期间经历边缘化的重要方式。参与者（N  = 298，M_年龄 = 19.47 岁，51% 为女性）报告说，由于种族和性别，他们的想法、意见和贡献不受欢迎。非裔美国人、拉丁裔和亚裔美国年轻女性表示最常见的贬值贡献。由于种族和性别而导致的贬值贡献在这些群体和多民族青年之间的联系最为密切，而不是欧洲裔美国青年。贬值的贡献预示着抑郁症状，感觉社会更需要和有用，以及超越传统歧视衡量标准的更大目标感。评估贬值贡献的经历可以更全面地了解边缘化如何影响向成年期的过渡。
