TY - JOUR PY - 1994// TI - Social support, stress, and Hispanic college adjustment: test of a diathesis-stress model JO - Hispanic journal of behavioral sciences A1 - Solberg, V. Scott A1 - Valdez, Jesse A1 - Villarreal, Pete SP - 230 EP - 239 VL - 16 IS - 3 N2 - A diathesis-stress model of Hispanic college adjustment was tested to assess the relationship between cultural pride, social support, stress, and college adjustment. A total of 394 Mexican American and Latino American freshman and sophomore students responded to a survey (57% response rate).

RESULTS indicated that academic stress, social stress, and perceived availability of social support combined to account for 59% of the variance in college adjustment ratings. However, the diathesis-stress model was not supported because social support was not found to moderate the relationship between stress and adjustment.
