Typologies of cultural stressors and assets: Exploring differential associations with prosocial behaviors and depressive symptoms among Latino/a young adults.

Scholars have demonstrated the consequences of cultural stressors on Latino/a adolescents' depressive symptoms and prosocial behaviors. However, there is little understanding of how different combinations of cultural stressors and assets might differentially relate to depressive symptoms and prosocial behaviors, particularly in young adulthood. This study used latent profile analysis to identify varying levels of cultural stressors (foreigner objectification and U.S. marginalization) and assets (family respect values and ethnic identity commitment) among Latino/a young adults. We then examined how profiles differentially relate to three forms of prosocial behaviors (care-based, altruistic, and public) and depressive symptoms.
