Authors:Alice P. Villatoro, Kevin M. Wagner, Ashley A. Walsdorf, V. Nelly Salgado de Snyder, Deliana Garcia, Carmen R. Valdez Abstract: Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, Ahead of Print. We examined the association of anticipatory negative consequences related to the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of Latinx young adults. Data are from a community-based study with first- and second-generation immigrant, Latinx young adults (18–26 years old). Participants completed an online survey about mental health and anticipated personal and family-related consequences due to the pandemic. Regression models examined the effects of anticipated consequences on risk of clinically significant mental health symptoms. Latinx young adults anticipated moderate levels of negative consequences during the pandemic, including expected illness, economic strain, and psychosocial concerns. Anticipating psychosocial concerns was associated with serious psychological distress, whereas anticipating economic hardship had a limited effect on somatization and anxiety symptoms. Probability of contracting COVID-19 illness was not associated with mental health symptoms. Addressing the anticipation of negative consequences is important because these consequences threaten mental health and wellbeing. Strategies are needed to alleviate continuing pandemic-related stressors among Latinx communities to promote mental health.

Authors:Elizabeth Terrazas-Carrillo, Ediza Garcia Abstract: Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, Ahead of Print. The literature on Latinx intimate partner violence (IPV) among college students has tended to focus on the risk factors for experiencing victimization, with much less emphasis on the potential factors fostering resilience. This study examines the factors that promote resilience in a sample of 90 Mexican American undergraduate college students (mean age was 23.33; SD = 5.69) attending a Hispanic Serving Institution who experienced IPV victimization in the last year. The research question was: What factors are associated with resilience in a sample of Latinx college students who experienced IPV' An analysis of regression with resilience as the outcome measure showed the following were positive predictors of resilience in this sample of Latinx college students who experienced IPV: frequency of religious service attendance, intrinsic religiosity, social support, familismo, and ethnic identity. The study also found two negative predictors of resilience: caballerismo and violence severity. Results are discussed in the context of service provision and IPV prevention for Latinx college students.

Authors:Melissa J. DuPont-Reyes, Alice P. Villatoro, Lu Tang Abstract: Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, Ahead of Print. To inform health communication efforts for Latinx communities, we assessed health information seeking behaviors to media sources, healthcare providers, and family/friends among a purposive sample of Latinx adults in 2021 using recruitment quotas by ethnic origin and age. Participants (N = 1,574) self-completed an online cross-sectional survey using their own digital devices. The survey assessed mental and physical health information scanning and seeking across Spanish-language, Latinx-tailored English-language, and general English-language media as the primary outcomes of interest and seeking to healthcare providers and family/friends. Logistic regression models generated predicted probabilities for all health information seeking outcomes, adjusting for sociodemographic factors. Overall, Latinx adults in the study sample were most likely to scan health information on TV and social media and seek health information on social/Internet-based media. In terms of language/cultural media usage, the highest probability was general-English media followed by Latinx-tailored and Spanish-language media. U.S.-born Latinx adults reported higher probabilities than foreign-born across all outcomes. In sum, Latinx populations, especially U.S.-born, are likely to consume high levels of diverse language/cultural media for health information. Social/Internet-based media and family/friends supersede healthcare providers as sources of health information, particularly for mental health content and among the foreign-born sub-sample. Scrutiny of how diverse language/cultural media disseminates information, decides what content to disseminate, and engages diverse audiences is needed to promote health equity.

Perrotte Abstract: Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, Ahead of Print. In the United States, smoking rates increase with greater acculturation among Mexican-origin women, but not among men. Conversely, greater acculturation is associated with higher likelihood of quitting among Mexican-origin men who smoke, but not among women who smoke. Long-standing speculation is that adoption of smoking social norms in the U.S. that are less restrictive for women and more restrictive for men compared to smoking social norms in Mexico may account for these patterns. However, it is unknown whether persons who smoke actually perceive such differential norms. The current study characterized smoking social norms in the U.S. and Mexico among Spanish-speaking Mexican-origin persons who smoke. Two hundred and ninety Mexican-origin persons who smoke were surveyed on descriptive and injunctive norms for men and women in the U.S. and Mexico. Estimated means for smoking social norms in the U.S. and Mexico were compared separately among men and women. Among men, mean descriptive and injunctive norms in Mexico were significantly higher than those for the U.S. Among women, neither mean descriptive nor injunctive norms were significantly different between the U.S. and Mexico. Mexican-origin women who smoke perceive smoking among women as equally common and similarly unacceptable in the U.S. and Mexico. Findings do not support speculation that differential social norms may explain the acculturation-smoking relationship among Mexican-origin women. Mexican-origin men who smoke perceive smoking among men both less common and less acceptable in the U.S. compared to Mexico. Social norms should be investigated as a mechanism of the acculturation-cessation relationship among Mexican-origin men. Understanding direct and indirect influences of social norms on cessation among Mexican-origin men stands to inform tailoring of interventions.

Authors:Cynthia M. Mojica, Gulaiim Almatkyzy, Kari-Lyn Sakuma Abstract: Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, Ahead of Print. Cancer screening rates are low among Hispanic individuals. We examined subgroups of Latinos not adherent to cancer screening guidelines, using latent class analyses, to identify how different facets of cultural identity and risk factors might coalesce. Analyses of 2,873 Hispanic/Latino individuals revealed six latent classes: Connected Immigrants, Bridging Locals, Rooted Locals, Bridging Immigrants, Isolated Locals, and Connected Locals. Multinomial regression analysis also was used to examine sociodemographic and health care predictors of belonging to each latent class. Results show that the Connected Immigrants group, who are highly connected with their Latin culture and Spanish language dominant, stood in stark contrast to Rooted Locals, US born and English language dominant with non-Hispanic/Latino friendship groups. Rooted Locals also were more likely to have a usual source of care and less likely to have visited a doctor in the past year. These differences could shape health messaging beyond common variables such as ethnicity and language.

Authors:Melody Montano, Lauren Mizock, Carmen Pulido, Esther Calzada Abstract: Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, Ahead of Print. There is a lack of research on the maternal guilt of working Latina mothers. A grounded theory methodology study on this topic was conducted with 12 Latina mothers in the South Central region of the United States. Data analysis revealed five themes: the Compensatory Parenting Trap (parenting behaviors that attempt to make up for the absence of mothers by indulging their children in ways that violate cultural norms), Proximity Desire (a yearning to be physically close in location to one’s children to compensate for guilt from separation), Ultimate Caregiver Comparison (the deifying of past generations of self-sacrificing family members as superior mothers against whom Latina mothers deem themselves failures), Familismo Paradox (the attempt to honor conflicting cultural norms to be a self-sacrificing mother who is also educated and financially secure), and Redefining Cultural Norms (reaction to the violation of cultural norms among working Latina mothers that involves expanding cultural expectations of gender in parenting). Results indicated that working Latina mothers face double binds in gender and cultural expectations that contribute to feelings of maternal guilt, as reflected in the above themes. Latina mothers demonstrate resilience in responding to this tension by restructuring cultural norms to alleviate guilt and protect their children from inheriting the same stressors.

Authors:Natalia Palacios, Tatiana Yasmeen Hill-Maini, Stephanie Dugan, Amanda Kibler, Judy Paulick Abstract: Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, Ahead of Print. To explore the ways in which Latinx older siblings support younger siblings during shared reading, researchers investigated the following question with three Latinx families in the U.S.: How are older siblings modeling and intentionally supporting focal children’s cognitive self-regulation in the context of shared reading' Analyses of video recorded interactions across six visits revealed that older siblings intentionally supported focal children’s cognitive self-regulation by fostering autonomy and choice through the use of verbal and nonverbal cues to guide attention, using prosody to engage their sibling, and to initiate reading beyond resistance, and vicarious modeling of metacognitive processes by engaging in self-corrections and demonstrating positive affect during shared reading interactions. Findings highlight the importance of older siblings, particularly sisters, as key figures in the sociocultural context of development for Latinx younger siblings in the U.S. Citation: Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences PubDate: 2024-02-23T12:25:51Z DOI: 10.1177/07399863241231321
