Associations Between Adolescents’ Perceived Discrimination and Prosocial Tendencies: The Mediating Role of Mexican American Values

Abstract: Experiences with perceived discrimination (e.g., perceptions of being treated unfairly due to race or ethnicity) are expected to impact negatively youths’ prosocial development. However, resilience often occurs in light of such experiences through cultural factors. The current longitudinal study examined the influence of perceived discrimination on the emergence of Mexican American adolescents’ later prosocial tendencies, and examined the mediating role of Mexican American values (e.g., familism, respect, and … Show more

“…Once identification occurs, identity threat and psychological distress are likely to follow. These results also provide support for previous studies documenting the need for individuals who face discrimination to seek support and refuge in stronger ethnic/racial identification (Brittian et al, 2013).

“…Additionally, respondents low in American cultural orientation were more likely to report more frequent depressive symptoms and feelings of alienation. Brittian et al (2013) found similar results in their study of the mediating role of Mexican American values on the negative relationships between perceived discrimination and prosocial tendencies. Their results indicated that there were correlations between adolescents' perceptions of discrimination and Mexican American values over time, such that increased perceptions of discrimination at the first time point were associated with increased endorsement of Mexican American values at the second time point.…”
