Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing in-depth coverage of the Mexican American population from social, cultural, and psychological (clinical) perspectives, this book promotes the understanding of cultural practices and sociological characteristics of this important ethnic group. There are now more than 32 million Mexican Americans living in the United States. As a result, the odds that a clinician will work with a member of this population—one of the fastest-growing minority groups in the United States—is extremely high. Understanding the culture, society, psyche, acculturation, assimilation, and linguistics specific to Mexican Americans, as well as their crises and appropriate interventions, is imperative to provide counseling/therapy services and culturally sensitive assessments. In this book, author Mario Tovar explains how Mexican American history and society affects the needs of this group and how services to Mexican Americans require adjustments as a result. Tovar documents significant differences among Mexican Americans depending on whether they are documented or undocumented immigrants, and on their place of origin—rural versus urban areas of Mexico, and northern versus southern Mexico, for example. Readers will understand how the region of the United States in which Mexican Americans settle can influence the development of certain traits for them and learn about mental and physical health care practices common to Mexican Americans, including folk medicine and "healers" who often include grandmothers and elder neighbors.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acculturative stress, perceived racial discrimination, family cohesion, familism, and ethnic racial identity are sociocultural factors that have often been associated with depressive symptoms in Latinx populations. Higher levels of acculturative stress and perceived racial discrimination are related to higher levels of depressive symptoms; higher levels of family cohesion, familism, and ethnic racial identity, as it related to belonging, are related to lower psychological distress. However, research has mainly examined these relationships cross-sectionally, therefore, little is known about the development of such relationships over time. Such findings are crucial in understanding the context of cultural background in psychopathology, and its influence on future psychological adjustment from the transition from youth to emerging adulthood. Therefore the primary purpose of the current study was to examine (1) the influence of acculturative stress perceived racial discrimination, family cohesion, familism, and ethnic racial identity on depressive symptoms at four various time points (2 youth, 2 emerging adult); (2) potential moderating variables (i.e., family cohesion, familism, ethnic racial identity) that may buffer or mitigate the impact of migration/minority stressors (i.e., acculturative stress, discrimination) on depressive symptoms; and (3) potential influences of the developmental trajectory of depression among a longitudinal Latinx subsample (N=2,631) (following cases from youth to emerging adulthood) from the Drug Use and Cultural Factors Among Hispanic Adolescents and Emerging Adults, Los Angeles, 2006-2016 dataset (Unger, 2016). Bivariate correlations revealed significant associations between acculturative stress, perceived racial discrimination, and family cohesion on depressive symptoms. No significant associations were found between familism and ethnic racial identity. However, for exploratory purposes, hypothesized models were untransformed, therefore, including all variables of interest, when possible. Findings revealed ethnic racial identity to be a significant moderator in the relationship between acculturative stress and depressive symptoms. Depressive symptoms consistently predicted paths to subsequent depression. Lastly perceived racial discrimination, acculturative stress, and family cohesion influenced the developmental trajectories of depression at the baseline level and rate of change, such that higher levels of perceived racial discrimination and acculturative stress and lower levels of family cohesion were associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms. Future research should explore differences based on gender as well as U.S. and non-U.S. born samples as these two control variables showed to be significantly related to outcome of interest. The current study and future studies on this topic can further expand our current understanding on the developmental impact that migration/minority stressors, cultural background and familial context have on psychopathology to better inform the creation of culturally responsive prevention and intervention efforts aimed at promoting positive psychosocial adjustment in at-risk, ethnic-minority youth.

Book excerpt: In attempting to help the Mexican American adult and elderly population, the relationship between psychological well-being and cultural factors was investigated in this dissertation study. Primarily, the dynamics of acculturation and ethnic identity were considered as measures of cultural adjustment; while, physical, intellectual, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions were used to measure well-being and mental health in adult and elderly cohorts. In regard to these relationships, the following research questions were addressed: 1) How does psychological well-being in older Mexican Americans relate to acculturation and ethnic identity? 2) Do these three variables interact differently among adult and elderly cohorts? 3) What is the relationship between the variables for this particular sample of Mexican Americans when considering moderating variables of spirituality and religiosity? In addressing the first two questions, multiple regression analyses were used to understand the distribution of the variance in the dependent variable, psychological wellbeing. Although both variables were contributing to the regression weight, neither of the two, acculturation or ethnic identity, were significant predictors of psychological well-being in this sample. In the last question, confirmatory and exploratory structural equation model (SEM) analyses were employed to determine how each of the variables were loading and relating to one another. Only a few of the items selected for these analyses, (i.e., none of the mediating variables, select acculturation items, and select scales on the measure for psychological well-being) were used and found to be significant in the complete model and diagram. Using newly clustered item parcels, the mediating variables of spirituality and religiosity were again analyzed in the (SEM) analysis. While the variable religiosity was dropped from the model diagram, the newly generated spirituality variable was found to be empirically and conceptually significant in the model diagram.
