The current study examined ethnic affirmation, a dimension of ethnic-racial identity, and race socialization and their influence in the relationship between perceived group discrimination and depressive symptoms among multiracial (<em>n<\/em> = 42) and monoracial minority Black (<em>n<\/em> = 29) and Latina (<em>n<\/em> = 95) adolescents (<em>M<\/em>=15.4 years). Results showed that there were no mean differences between multiracial and monoracial adolescents in ethnic affirmation, maternal race\/ethnic socialization, or depressive symptoms. Multiracial adolescents reported significantly less perceived discrimination. There was also evidence that the indirect effect of perceived discrimination on depressive symptoms via ethnic affirmation differed between multiracial and monoracial adolescents. Implications of these results for treatment and research are discussed.<\/p>\n<p>Read the entire thesis <a href=\"http:\/\/digitalcommons.uconn.edu\/cgi\/viewcontent.cgi?article=2147&amp;context=gs_theses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mixed Signals: Examining Ethnic Affirmation as a Factor in the Discrimination-Depression Relationship with Multiracial and Monoracial Minority Adolescent Girls University of Connecticut 2017-02-15 62 pages Linda A.
