Abstract
Latinx students report greater discrimination-related stress in comparison to White students, and this stress is positively associated with negative mental health outcomes. Ethnic identity and self-esteem have been important factors in the relationship between discrimination and mental health. However, there is little research on how dimensions of ethnic identity affect the mediating role of self-esteem in this relationship. The purpose of the present study was to examine if self-esteem mediated the effects of discrimination on symptoms of anxiety, as well as if dimensions of ethnic identity moderated the indirect effects of discrimination.
