Psychological Impact of Negotiating Two Cultures: Latino Coping and Self-Esteem
Torres, Lucas; Rollock, David
Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development, v37 n4 p219-228 Oct 2009
Among 96 Latino adults, active coping accounted for variance in global self-esteem beyond that of biculturalism and sociodemographic indicators. The findings highlight the importance of accounting for the way Latino adults approach negotiating multiple cultural contexts. Extending acculturation research to integrate competence-based formulations provides comprehensive information regarding cultural adaptation. (Contains 2 tables.)
