“…RD refers to discrimination based on a person’s skin color or physical characteristics, while ED is based on a person’s culture [ 26 ]. In the specific case of the migrant population, the research reports a strong impact both on their health [ 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 ] and on their quality of life and well-being [ 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 ].…”

There is abundant evidence about the negative impact of discrimination on well-being, but less research on factors that can reduce this negative effect, mainly focused on North American samples and with incipient development on South–South migration. The objective of this research was to analyze the effect of ethnic identity on the relationship between the experience of racial and ethnic discrimination and psychological well-being in Colombian immigrants living in Chile. A total of 962 immigrants over the age of 18 from three cities in Chile participated. Of these, 50.7% were women. The average age was 35 years (SD = 10.23). Participants were evaluated using Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scales, Phinney’s adapted version of the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Scale, and Krieger’s Discrimination Experience Scale. After the analysis of the measurement models, a mediation model was analyzed using structural equations. The results provide evidence that ethnic and racial discrimination have negative effects on psychological well-being, with the effect of racial discrimination being greater. Likewise, ethnic identity has positive effects on psychological well-being and partially and completely mediates the effects of ethnic and racial discrimination on psychological well-being. The full effect of discrimination on psychological well-being, mediated by ethnic identity, is exercised only by racial discrimination and not by ethnic discrimination.

“…In migrant populations, two of the most studied types of discrimination are those based on ethnicity and race, which have been associated with poorer physical and mental health [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ], low self-esteem [ 25 , 26 ], and reduced well-being [ 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ].…”

There is not much evidence on the effects of south–south migration and its consequences on physical and mental health. Our objective was to examine the mediating role of Acculturative Stress in the association between ethnic discrimination and racial discrimination with physical and mental health. This research is a non-experimental, analytical, cross-sectional study. A total of 976 adult Colombian migrants living in Chile were interviewed. We used the Everyday Discrimination Scale, the acculturative stress scale, and the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form (SF-12) for health status; we found that racial and ethnic discrimination had a negative effect on physical and mental health. In the simultaneous presence of both types of discrimination, racial discrimination was completely absorbed by ethnic discrimination, the latter becoming a total mediator of the effect of racial discrimination on mental and physical health. Our findings are consistent with the literature, which suggests that there are various types of discrimination which, individually or in their intersectionality, can have negative effects on health.

“…Not only does discrimination have multiple negative effects on the population that suffers it, ranging from inequalities in access to socioeconomic goods and services and labor sources to access to health and education benefits, but also abundant evidence has revealed its negative effects on individuals' physical and mental health and well-being (Harrell et al, 2003;Paradies, 2006;Gee et al, 2009;Pascoe and Smart, 2009;Williams and Mohammed, 2009;Bastos et al, 2014;Lewis et al, 2015;Cuevas et al, 2016;Lahoz and Forns, 2016;Williams et al, 2019;Urzúa et al, 2019bUrzúa et al, , 2020a, especially stigmatized groups such as the migrant population (Finch et al, 2000;Bourguignon et al, 2006;Greene et al, 2006;Borrell et al, 2010;Zeiders et al, 2013;Schunck et al, 2015).…”

“…This migration has resulted in situations of discrimination, either by the country of origin, linked to drug trafficking, drugs, and sex trade in the case of women, or by the color of the skin (Pavez, 2016;Tijoux, 2016;Gissi et al, 2019). Studies conducted in Chile show how discrimination has negatively affected both the mental health and the wellbeing of this population (Urzúa et al, 2018(Urzúa et al, , 2019bMera-Lemp et al, 2020a), in addition to other factors that also affect wellbeing (Silva et al, 2016;Urzúa et al, 2019aUrzúa et al, , 2020bMera-Lemp et al, 2020b). A qualitative perspective about the effects of migration and racism on the Colombian population in Chile can be reviewed in Gii-Barbieri and Ghio-Suárez 2017and Gii et al (2019).…”

There is abundant empirical evidence on the negative effects of discrimination on psychological well-being. However, little research has focused on exploring the factors that can mitigate this effect. Within this framework, the present study examined the mediating role of positive and negative affects in the relationship between ethnic and racial discrimination and psychological well-being in the migrant population. About 919 Colombians, first-generation migrants, residing in Chile (Arica, Antofagasta, and Santiago) were evaluated, of which 50.5% were women, and the participants’ average age was 35 years (range: 18–65 years). Krieger’s discrimination questionnaires, Watson’s Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), and Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scale were applied. The measurement models of each variable were estimated, and then the structural equation models were used. The results of the hypothesized multiple mediation model showed that the main mediator in the relationship between ethnic-racial discrimination and psychological well-being was positive affects over negative ones.
