| Abstract | Perceived discrimination has been linked to negative mental health outcomes in Latino populations. Most research on the effects of perceived discrimination, however, focuses on outcomes for adults. Using a sample of Latino adolescents, the current study aimed to examine the relationship between perceived discrimination and two indices of youth adjustment: depressive symptomology and academic performance. Moreover, to assess aspects of Ogbu’s cultural-ecological model, the mediating and moderating effects of relinquished control and immigration status, as well as moderated mediation, were tested. Results indicated that relinquished control mediates the relationship between perceived discrimination and depressive symptoms. A negative association was found between perceived discrimination and GPA, though relinquished control did not mediate this relationship. Applying bootstrap mediation analyses, relinquished control mediated the relationship between perceived discrimination and self-reported grades. The moderated mediation hypotheses were not supported. |
