“…The emphasis on familial connections and roles is another similarity across our research and other studies. Ramos et al (2022) found familial connections among rural Latinx adolescents to be protective against discrimination and internalizing symptoms. In research with children from migrant farmworker families, Taylor et al (2019) found that families served as a central resilience factor that counteracted acculturative stress.…”

Agricultural labor is extremely hazardous, yet young children are legally permitted to work on farms. This paper contextualizes and describes Latinx hired child farmworkers’ stated reasons for working. We conducted a mixed-methods study using in-depth interviews ( n = 30) and survey interviews ( n = 202) with Latinx child farmworkers aged 10 to 17 in North Carolina. Our qualitative thematic analysis identified children’s salient reasons for working, including supporting family, contextual factors that lead to farm work, and occupying summer time. Statistical analysis showed that children’s primary reasons for working included buying clothes (91.1%) and school supplies (64.7%), with few differences by gender, age, or other characteristics. The findings demonstrate that most Latinx children view farm work as a necessary but temporary experience that financially supports their families. We discuss the implications for protecting Latinx child workers by reducing their structural vulnerability in order to facilitate healthy development.

“…At the same time, recent work has also highlighted familial experiences of discrimination can further exacerbate the discrimination‐depression link for Mexican‐origin adolescents (Park, Du, Wang, Williams, & Alegría, 2018; Park, Wang, Williams, & Alegría 2018) and coping with discrimination processes are embedded within familial processes (Martin Romero et al., 2021). Not surprisingly, familial resilience buffered the impact of discrimination on depressive symptoms for Latinx youth (Ramos et al., 2021). Therefore, as more research examines how Latinx families cope with discrimination, it will be important to consider the role of familism values and familial coping in terms of shift‐&‐persist processes to test whether these do offer additional benefits for Latinx youth.…”

This paper tested whether shift-&-persist coping, or coping involving the combination of cognitive reappraisal, acceptance, and optimism (Chen & Miller, Perspectives on Psychological Science, 2012, 7, 135), attenuates the risks presented by economic hardship and ethnic discrimination for change in depressive symptoms from 9th to 12th grade, in a sample of 674 Mexican American youth (Mage W1 = 10.86; 50% female; 72% US born) and whether this effect depends on ethnic pride. Structural equation modeling indicated that, when accounting for economic hardship, shift-&-persist was associated with fewer concurrent depression symptoms. Youth with lower ethnic pride who endorsed high levels of shift-&-persist were protected against the negative impacts of peer ethnic discrimination on depressive symptoms. Future research on ethnic discrimination should examine patterns of coping and identity that can mitigate risk.

“…Other studies that have assessed family factors have found that social support and closeness to parents were significantly associated with lower psychological distress at follow-up ( Cooper et al, 2021 ). Indeed, future studies are advised to consider how personal and collective strengths may have reduced the impact of the pandemic on youth mental health, especially considering recent data showing that different sources of youth resilience (i.e., contextual, familial, individual) have differential protective effects against contextual stressors and mental health problems (e.g., depressive symptoms, somatic symptoms) ( Ramos, Ponting, Bocanegra, et al, 2021 ).…”
