“…En cuanto a la percepción de apoyo según el lugar de origen de los inmigrantes, los estudios muestran que el impacto del apoyo social es distinto en los diferentes grupos étnicos y culturales, en donde los latinoamericanos son los que en general perciben más apoyo frente a otros grupos de inmigrantes (Jasinskaja-Lahti, Liebkind, Jaakkola, & Reuter, 2006) y sufren menos las consecuencias del estrés por aculturación sobre la salud que los asiáticos (Panchang, Dowdy, Kimbro, & Gorman, 2016). Algunos estudios apuntan a que los latinoamericanos perciben más apoyo porque pertenecen a culturas colectivistas-horizontales, donde se promueve la sociabilidad entre iguales frente a otras culturas colectivistasverticales como la asiática, donde los procesos de interacción social se producen de forma jerárquica, o las culturas individualistas como la africana, que suelen mostrar valores más bajos de apoyo social (Shavitt et al, 2016).…”

Se analiza la relación del apoyo social y la resiliencia con la satisfacción vital y la salud mental de los inmigrantes, y las diferencias en dichas variables según la región de origen (África, Europa, Latinoamérica y Asia). En el estudio han participado 1094 inmigrantes que residen en España. Los resultados de la regresión por pasos muestran que la tenacidad, el apoyo social de la familia y de los autóctonos, y el control personal son los mejores predictores de la satisfacción vital. La tenacidad, el apoyo de la familia y el control lo son de la salud mental.

“…Community studies are mixed. For example, acculturative stress has been positively related to anxiety and depressive symptoms in Latinx immigrants (Leong et al, 2013), but has also demonstrated no mental health link (Panchang, Dowdy, Kimbro, & Gorman, 2016). Research at Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs) indicated Latinx students' acculturative stress was positively linked with body image issues (Menon & Harter, 2012) and depressive symptoms, particularly for men (Castillo et al, 2015).…”

Latinx college students experience depression and anxiety similarly to other groups. Systemic factors (e.g., discrimination, family support) may exacerbate or protect from symptoms. We incorporated an ecological framework to assess family cohesion, social networks, acculturative stress, perceived discrimination, and foreigner objectification as predictors of depression and anxiety for Latinx students at a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI). Only discrimination predicted depression and anxiety after controlling for age, gender, and birthplace. Educational and counseling implications are addressed.

“…These studies mainly focused on differences across individuals of Asian and European origin living in the USA. Some more recent studies found cross-group differences in the protective effect of social ties across other ethnic and racial groups in the USA (Molina et al 2016;Panchang et al 2016;Shavitt et al 2016;Sheffler and Sachs-Ericsson 2016). Based on these findings, we may expect differences in the protective effect of social ties across individuals of Turkish, Moroccan, and Dutch origin.…”

“…Shavitt and colleagues, for example, found support for the protective effect of social support in the relation between stress and mental and physical health for Mexican-Americans, but not for Non-Hispanic Whites, Korean-Americans, and African-Americans (Shavitt et al 2016). Moreover, Panchang and colleagues investigated whether social ties buffer the negative effect of acculturation on mental health (Panchang et al 2016). They found that social support moderated the negative effect of acculturative stress on mental health for Latinas, but not for Latino men and Asian men and women.…”

First-and second-generation Turkish and Moroccan migrants living in the Netherlands have a disproportionate incidence of health problems and relatively low employment rates. Health problems are an obstacle to employment, yet there is no one-to-one correspondence between health problems and capability to work. Social ties can reduce the negative impact of health problems on employment by providing social support and providing the comfort of feeling embedded in a close social circle. In this study, we examine whether the assumed negative impact of health problems on employment is reduced by the number of close social ties, the quantity of contact, and the proportion of co-ethnics among close social ties, and whether this protective effect varies across ethnic groups. Using survey data from the Netherlands Longitudinal Lifecourse Study (N = 3911), we find that close social ties reduce the negative impact of health problems on employment. However, this protective effect depends on both the aspect of social ties which is considered and ethnic background of the individual. Quantity of contact has a protective effect for native Dutch individuals; number of social ties and a higher proportion of co-ethnics had a protective effect for Moroccan individuals, and social ties have no protective effect for Turkish individuals.
