“…The adapted stress and coping framework (Figure 1; Walters et al, 2002) and intersectionality (Bowleg, 2021; Crenshaw, 1991; Hill Collins, 2019; Poteat, 2021) theoretically situate our results, by contextualizing ethnic discrimination and acculturative stress as “stress” (Cano et al, 2014; Cano, Schwartz, et al, 2021; Cheng, 2022; Cheng et al, 2020) and familism support and ethnic identity as “coping” or protective factors (Krieger, 2011; Krieger et al, 2010), within historical foundations of the social determinants of health (Cerdeña et al, 2021; Orozco-Figueroa, 2021).

Objectives: Ethnic discrimination and acculturative stress play an important role in sexual risk behaviors for Latinx emerging adults, who are at disproportionate risk for sexually transmitted infections. Factors such as familism support and ethnic identity may be protective, yet research is limited. This study is guided by a culturally adapted stress and coping framework to examine associations of ethnic discrimination and acculturative stress with sexual risk behaviors (i.e., multiple sex partners, alcohol or drug use before sex, and condomless sex with a primary or casual partner), and examine the moderating roles of familism support and ethnic identity among Latinx emerging adults. Method: Participants were recruited from Arizona and Florida and were primarily female (51.3%) with a mean age of 21.48 years (SD = 2.06). Using cross-sectional data from 158 sexually active Latinx emerging adults, this study employed multiple logistic regression and moderation analyses. Results: Higher levels of ethnic discrimination and pressure to acculturate were associated with fewer sex partners, and higher levels of pressure against acculturation were associated with increased condomless sex with a casual partner. The moderation effect of higher levels of familism support on pressure to acculturate was associated with fewer sex partners, and the moderation effect of higher levels of ethnic identity on pressure against acculturation was associated with decreased condomless sex with casual partners. Conclusions: Examining the results within a culturally informed theoretical framework supports that protective factors may help mitigate sexual risk factors among Latinx emerging adults experiencing acculturative stress.

“…Self-efficacy refers to an individual's subjective judgment of whether he or she can successfully perform an achievement behavior, and also refers to people's confidence or belief in their ability to achieve the behavioral goals in a particular domain, and is an individual's belief that he or she can succeed. Good self-efficacy is beneficial for increasing individuals' psychological resilience (Zhang et al, 2021) and alleviating psychological stress levels (Shahrour and Dardas, 2020;Cano et al, 2021). Self-efficacy is regarded as an important factor to alleviate psychological stress (Hendrix et al, 2016;Indelicato et al, 2017).…”

The choice of coping style of recruits under psychological stress in the process of military task execution has been an important topic in the promotion of military operations and cohesion of military forces. Taking a positive coping style under psychological stress can help recruits overcome the negative effects of stress and improve military morale and group combat effectiveness. Although soldiers' psychological stress in the process of military mission execution having an impact on coping style has been studied by a large body of literature, very little literature has focused on the mechanism of self-efficacy and social support between recruits' psychological stress and coping style from the person-environment fit perspective. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze the impact of recruits' psychological stress on coping style through a chain mediation model and to discuss the role of self-efficacy and social support in this relationship. Two waves of survey data were utilized to test the research hypotheses on a sample of 1028 Chinese recruits performing military tasks. The results indicated that recruits' psychological stress negatively impacted positive coping styles and positively correlated with negative ones. In addition, self-efficacy and social support mediated the relationship between psychological stress and positive coping style, and self-efficacy mediated the relationship between psychological stress and negative coping style. More importantly, self-efficacy and social support play the chain mediating effect between psychological stress and positive coping style.

“…Moreover, past research has suggested that it is important to examine dimensions of bicultural competence. A growing body of work has found that dimensions of bicultural competence have differential effects on outcomes across diverse adolescent and young adult samples (Acevedo-Polakovich et al, 2014;Cano et al, 2020;Schwartz et al, 2015Schwartz et al, , 2019Tikhonov et al, 2019). Bicultural competence involves alternating between two cultural contexts across domains of affiliations, attitudes, behaviors, knowledge, and values (Basilio et al, 2014).…”

Objective: Filial responsibility includes instrumental and expressive caregiving. Research on the perceptions of filial responsibility has examined perceived unfairness-the perception of the lack of equity and mutuality in the distribution of such tasks. Previous research on filial responsibility among Latinx young adults is inconsistent and limited but has indicated that examining dimensions of filial responsibility is key to understanding its impact on socioemotional outcomes. Furthermore, it is important to consider how dimensions of bicultural competence (comfort, facility, and advantages perceived in navigating two cultural contexts), moderate these relations. The current study examined filial responsibility and socioemotional well-being among Latina college students. We also examined the moderating role of dimensions of bicultural competence. Method: Latina college students (N = 312, M age = 19.12, SD = 1.15) provided self-reports on filial responsibility, bicultural competence, depressive symptoms, and self-esteem. Stepwise regression and moderation analyses were conducted to examine the aims of the study. Results: For filial responsibility, we found that expressive caregiving related to more depressive symptoms. Instrumental caregiving is related to higher self-esteem. Perceived unfairness was related to more depressive symptoms and lower self-esteem. Although the global measure of bicultural competence was not a significant moderator, certain dimensions of bicultural competence moderated these relations. Bicultural facility amplified the relations between expressive caregiving and depressive symptoms. Bicultural comfort amplified the relation between perceived unfairness and depressive symptoms. Bicultural comfort and advantages amplified the relations between perceived unfairness and self-esteem. Conclusion: The study has implications for improving the socioemotional well-being of Latina college students. Public Significance StatementAlong with experiencing long-standing mental health disparities, Latina college students can be overwhelmed with filial responsibility. To manage such tasks, they may rely on their competence in being bicultural. Specifically, they benefit from a sense of comfort in their dual-cultural worlds as they report higher self-esteem regardless of the perceived inequity of filial responsibility.
