Daily and ethnic discriminatory experiences and cognitive control in Mexican-origin bilingual language brokers
Few studies have considered bilingualism’s impact on cognitive development within the sociolinguistic and cultural context of the immigrant communities where bilingualism is commonly practiced. In the United States, many Mexican-origin bilingual youth practice their bilingual skills by brokering (i.e. translating/interpreting between languages) for their immigrant parents who have low English proficiency. Meanwhile, these youth may also experienc…
Prospective Effects of Discrimination, Depressive Symptoms, and Cognitive Control Among Mexican-Origin Women
Results revealed the long-term consequences of experiences with discrimination on cognitive control that operate through increased depressive symptoms and that may have some subtle differential effects across levels of financial strain
Context, intersectionality, and resilience
We encourage scientists to take a more holistic and nuanced approach to understanding how individual and contextual factors affect our study populations. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
The Simon effect in bilingual language brokers
Aims and objectives/purpose/research questions: Language brokering (LB) is an informal translation experience where bilinguals serve as linguistic and cultural intermediaries for family members. LB may have long-term socio-emotional and cognitive outcomes, yet little is known about its effects on executive functions (EFs). This study examines how first language (L1) proficiency and negative emotions tied to language brokering experiences affect E…
Incorporating language brokering experiences into bilingualism research
Bilingual language broker profiles and academic competence in Mexican-origin adolescents
We advance a tripartite framework of language use to encompass language skills, the practice of language skills, and the subjective experiences associated with language use among Mexican-origin adolescents who function as language brokers by translating and interpreting for their English-limited parents. Using data collected over 2 waves from a sample of 604 adolescents (Wave 1: Mage = 12.41, SD = 0.97), this study identified 4 types of bilingual…
Incorporating language brokering experiences into bilingualism research
Language brokering is an informal translation practice found in language contact and immigrant contexts where bilingual children and adolescents serve as translators for family members. Language brokering research has yielded mixed findings on its outcomes on emotional well-being and academic achievement. A lesser studied area has been the examination of the long-term cognitive and linguistic effects of language brokering experiences. Considering…
Language Brokering Experience Affects Feelings Toward Bilingualism, Language Knowledge, Use, and Practices
Language brokering refers to the global practice whereby children in immigrant communities are called upon by family members to serve as linguistic and cultural intermediaries by translating and interpreting. Past research has examined the effects of brokering on parent-child relationships, mental health, and substance abuse and feelings toward brokering. A lesser-studied area is brokering effects on bilingualism, language maintenance, and cognit…
Ethnic identity affirmation as a strength for Mexican descent academic outcomes
Ethnic identity (EI) affirmation has been related to positive academic outcomes for Latina/o youth. However, there is a dearth of research examining mediating mechanisms to this relationship. To address this gap, we examine psychological functioning (depressive symptoms and life satisfaction) as a mediator in the relationship between EI affirmation and academic outcomes (i.e., academic motivation, academic skepticism, and ambition). Participants …
Cultural and Cognitive Predictors of Academic Motivation Among Mexican American Adolescents
This study examined the role of cognitive (i.e., grit, hope, and academic skepticism) and cultural variables (i.e., generational status, familismo, ethnic identity, and bicultural stress) on academic motivation among 181 Mexican American adolescents. Results indicated that hope, grit, and familismo positively predicted academic motivation. Conversely, academic skepticism and bicultural stress negatively predicted academic motivation. This study d…
