“…These results indicated that there was significant variance in both intercepts and both slopes across individuals permitting further examination. Following common LGM practices (e.g., Bae, 2020), we regressed the intercept of the outcome onto the intercepts of the two predictors, and the slope of the outcome onto the slopes of the two predictors. This allows us to test for the hypothesised slope effects together with intercept effects.…”

Although job insecurity and employability have drawn much research attention, the plausible relationships between them and how they jointly influence mental health remain unclear in the literature. We draw upon JD-R and COR theories to test and contrast three plausible relationships between job insecurity and employability, using a longitudinal sample of 1216 employees over 18 years. We further expand tests of these theoretical positions by considering temporal dynamics, using dynamic structural equation models (DSEMs) for stronger mediation evidence and latent growth models (LGMs) to compare the effects of job insecurity and employability trends in predicting the trend of mental health. In general, findings showed that job insecurity mediated the relationship between employability and mental health, supporting the mediation hypothesis. We also found that employability moderated the relationship between job insecurity and mental health, supporting the moderation hypothesis, although the effect was weak. Results further suggested that the effect magnitudes of job insecurity and employability predicting mental health were significantly different. Specifically, job insecurity was a stronger predictor of mental health than employability across all 18 years; the trend of job insecurity also predicted the trend of mental health more strongly than the trend of employability. Taken together, this study not only advances theory precision but also methodological soundness of research on job insecurity, employability, and mental health, supporting the value of considering temporal factors in examining mental health effects of job insecurity and employability.

“…The second hypothesis assumed that ethnic identity would affect mental health problems negatively. It is known that a higher level of ethnic identity is related to mental health and the acculturation process (22,(66)(67)(68). Ethnic identity development is defined as a process related to feelings, opinions, thoughts, and actions related to ethnic group affiliation (62,86).…”

Background: The number of immigrants has been increasing. Immigrant adolescents experience an acculturation process that affects particularly their ethnic identity, perceived discrimination, and relationships with their peers, which would have significant impact on their mental health. The ethnic composition of social environments might affect this relationship. Objective: The main purpose of the current research is to examine the effect of peer attachment, social support, ethnic identity, and perceived discrimination on immigrant adolescents' mental health. Method: The sample included 226 Syrian immigrants (Xāge= 13.31, SD=1.67, 70.8 % girls). Adolescents live in a homogenous social environment where proportion of Syrian is higher. Two hierarchical regression models were used to predict depression and emotional problems. In both models, the predictive roles of social and psychological factors were examined in separate steps. Results: The regression analysis results for depression emphasized peer attachment, social support, and ethnic identity did not affect the depression after controlling the effect of emotional problems. Similarly, regression analysis results for emotional problems showed that peer attachment, social support, and ethnic identity did not affect depression after controlling the effect of emotional problems. The results also revealed that perceived discrimination was a risk factor for both depression and emotional problems. Conclusions:The results underlined the importance of psychological variables on immigrant adolescents' depression. Past research emphasized that ethnic identity and peer support had a buffering effect on mental health. The current study participants were living in a different area where they attended schools for only immigrants. The social environment was totally different from the host culture. These reasons may account for why social support from ethnic peers and ethnic identity development did not emerge as a protective factor in the present study. The results will further be discussed in terms of the importance of interaction between ethnic and host culture.

“…Recent research suggests that bicultural identity is associated with the lower levels of depression and anxiety (Tikhonov et al, 2019), which are known risk factors for cigarette smoking (Fluharty et al, 2017). Recent research also shows that bicultural identity is positively associated with positive well-being (e.g., Bae, 2020), a known protective factor against cigarette smoking (Lappan et al, 2020).…”

The present study examined the associations between biculturalism and cigarette and betel nut use and the potential mediating roles of cigarette and betel nut use risk perception and resistance to peer and adult influence among adolescents in Guam. Participants were 673 ethnically diverse students (49% female; M age = 12.7, SD = .89) from eight public middle schools. The results showed that biculturalism was not associated with cigarette use directly; however, this association was mediated by cigarette use risk perception and resistance to peer and adult influence. In other words, higher biculturalism was associated with more risk perception and then more resistance to peer and adult influence, which sequentially predicted less cigarette use. Similarly, the association between biculturalism and betel nut use was mediated by betel nut use risk perception and resistance to peer and adult influence. Higher biculturalism was associated with greater risk perception and then more resistance to peer and adult influence, which in turn resulted in less betel nut use. These findings can be used to inform the design and implementation of intervention and prevention programs targeting youth who are vulnerable to substance use. What is the public significance of this article?This study shows the linkages among biculturalism, health-linked risk perception, peer and adult resistance, and cigarette and betel nut use for Pacific Islander youth in Guam. The findings highlight the necessity of bicultural adolescents' awareness of health-linked risks and their ability to reject offers from peers and adults, in order to reduce the levels of cigarette and betel nut use. Furthermore, the knowledge gained from this study can be used to inform the design and implementation of intervention and prevention programs targeting at-risk youth in a racially/ethnically diverse context.
