TY - JOUR PY - 2024// TI - Proactive coping with discrimination: a mediator between ethnic-racial socialization and Latinx youth's internalizing symptoms JO - Journal of research on adolescence A1 - Salcido, Valerie V. A1 - Stein, Gabriela L. SP - 45 EP - 55 VL - 34 IS - 1 N2 - There is a dearth of knowledge in the coping literature on how minoritized youth cope with racism-related stressors and the predictors of effective coping responses. This two-wave study examined the direct and indirect effects of ethnic-racial socialization on depressive and anxiety symptoms via proactive coping with discrimination in a community sample of 135 Latinx adolescents (Mage = 16, SD = 1.27; 59% female).

RESULTS indicate that cultural socialization was related to higher use of proactive coping with discrimination 6 months later, which in turn, was related to fewer depressive and anxiety symptoms. There were no direct or indirect effects between preparation for bias and mental health outcomes.
