Annotated Bibliography & Notes
[edit]-Authors examined psychiatric data from the National Latino and Asian American study and the National Comorbidity replication, which are two of the largest, nationally representative samples of psychiatric information.
-Consistent findings with the immigrant paradox, meaning U.S. born Latino/as had higher rates of psychiatric disorders than Latino/a immigrants
-Berry was one of the first to define acculturation and acculturative stress, thereby putting this field of research on the map. This particular article was the foundation for almost all of the follow-up work below. This article is cited in all (or most of) the other articles included in this project.
-Schwartz is one of the leading researchers in this field, as reflected by the number of citations above. Most of his work (along with colleagues) focuses on re-shaping previous work or definitions to include or exclude certain groups for analyses.
-Such changes include differences in rural/urban immigrant experiences, whether or not an immigrant moved by choice (refugees seeking asylum), the plastic nature of culture and how the perception of certain immigrants changes with time, age and gender differences in acculturative stress, and other types of specifications that can make generalizations about the process of acculturation very challenging.
-Schwartz & colleagues apply this information to create a “trajectory,” that aims to chart the flow of acculturative stress and how it impacts later substance use and/or mental health problems.
-This article has a lot of valuable background information about immigration to the U.S.
-This article also highlights how acculturative stress has typically been oversimplified in past research.
-Three main acculturative stressors are discussed: context of reception, context of exit, and kinship ties to country of origin. These stressors are discussed as predictors of acculturative stress, which are linked to several adverse health outcomes. This opens the door to discussions about how these stressors can be mediated/therapeutic practices/preventative care.
-Lueck is another author that frequently pops up in acculturative stress research. The work above focuses on previous work by Bostean and Schwartz, but applied to Latino immigrants.
-The 2011 article is particularly informative, with a lot of detail concerning discrimination and how this can exacerbate acculturative stress.
-This article highlights two different measures of acculturation and compares the strengths and weaknesses of both. These scales are discussed in some of these articles, so it is important to note their uses and differences.
-These scales measure the degree of acculturation, not acculturative stress.
-This article is a collaborative effort by all of the experts in this arena.
-Specifically, this article focuses on how parents can transmit acculturative stress and focuses on this process in Latino families. This work is specifically aimed at addressing Latino youth behavioral mental health and drug use.
-This article is really interesting because it is one of the first to thoroughly address and apply the aforementioned concepts to Arab immigrants. This study also focuses on adolescents, which are particularly vulnerable to acculturative stress.
-Most notable are the discussions about discrimination post 9/11 and how this has affected the way Arab immigrants are “received” in host countries. This highlights how a major political event can re-shape the way one group of immigrants is treated and how their lives are impacted.
-This is one of the most interesting articles, since it applies a lot of the other articles to undocumented Latino/as in the U.S. This particular group faces a unique set of discriminatory behaviors, since society has deemed them as “unwanted” or “unwelcomed.”
-This article differentiates this brand of Latino/a immigrant from those with green cards and the additional types of discrimination that they have reported.
-Particularly interesting since Latino/a immigrants make up nearly 20% of our population, with some theorizing that this percentage could be even greater.
