Stress and resilience among resettling refugee youth
Some of the world's 84 million forcibly displaced persons (approximately half are youth under the age of 18) obtain legal refugee status, which allows them passage to resettle in new communities. Although much has been documented about experiences of stress and trauma among refugees, we know less about their resilience and coping abilities. Furthermore, a lack of an overarching theoretical framework hinders our understanding of the complete refug…
Experiences of discrimination and language brokering
Our findings indicate that young people who broker seem to be negatively impacted by discrimination. The effects of discrimination on LB role reversal could be alleviated by strong ERI; however, the same is not true for LB burden and LB efficacy. Furthermore, negative family dynamics exacerbated the negative effects of discrimination on LB, and positive family dynamics did not serve as a buffer against discrimination. Implications for those worki…

How language brokering relates to empathy and psychological well-being
Language brokering often brings children in close, intimate interactions with parents, which, over time, may help them understand their parents and others in the form of empathy. Specifically, frequency and feelings about language brokering may relate to greater empathy. In addition, language brokering may have an indirect effect on psychological well-being via empathy. For this study, 459 language brokers ( Mage = 21.36, Female = 80%) completed …
The Role of Attachment in Language Brokering and Psychological Well-being among College Students
Emerging adult (EA), college students from immigrant families continue engaging in language brokering (LB), translating documents and other media for their parents, in ways that can affect their well-being. For these language brokers, the relationship between parental attachment and psychological well-being may be through frequency and perceptions of their LB work. In this study, 459 language brokers ( Mage = 21.36, Female = 80%) completed an onl…

Family dynamics moderate the impact of discrimination on wellbeing for Latino young adults
Family dynamics moderated the association between discrimination and both depression and life satisfaction in Latino youth. However, family dynamics did not appear sufficient to buffer against the negative impact of discrimination, suggesting that even positive and cohesive families cannot buffer youth from discrimination. Marginal findings suggest that negative family dynamics compound the negative impact of discrimination. Implications for impr…
Challenges of Latino young men and women
Relation of psychosocial factors to diverse behaviors and attitudes among Somali refugees
Refugee studies have examined both resilience and adverse outcomes, but no research has examined how different outcomes co-occur or are distinct, and the social-contextual factors that give rise to these diverse outcomes. The current study begins to address this gap by using latent profile analysis to examine the ways in which delinquency, gang involvement, civic engagement, political engagement, and openness to violent extremism cluster among So…
The Impact of Acculturation Style and Acculturative Hassles on the Mental Health of Somali Adolescent Refugees
Communicating for One’s Family
Although language and cultural brokering is important for immigrant families, this behavior may have both positive and negative consequences for the well-being of young brokers and their family members. Few communication studies, however, have examined brokering in relation to the well-being of immigrant families, despite its prevalence in the United States and elsewhere. Thus, this chapter offers an interdisciplinary review of the brokering lite…
Language and Non-linguistic Brokering
Brokering, or the work immigrant youth do to help their families adapt to a new society, is a common phenomenon in immigrant families, but has only recently been explored in research studies. Most researchers focus on language brokering (translating and interpreting) rather than non-linguistic types of brokering (e.g., helping parents study for the citizenship exam), and studies have mainly involved Latino adolescents. The current study simultane…
Introduction
This special issue showcases research on the 90% of the world's adolescents growing up in the “majority world” (i.e., Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean). Articles were solicited that addressed three focal areas by (1) evaluating existing developmental models or proposing culturally based approaches to studying adolescent development; (2) describing successful models of interventions to improve the well‐being of youth; and (3) examinin…
The Stressful (and Not So Stressful) Nature of Language Brokering
Associations of Acculturation with Family and Individual Well-being in Serbian Refugee Young Adults in the United States
Seventy-seven ethnic Serbian refugee young adults (mean age = 23) from Bosnia and Croatia (in the former Yugoslavia) presently living in the United States completed an online survey. Young adults reported their own and their parents' level of acculturation to both Serbian and U.S. cultures. In contrast to most prior studies, acculturation gap was operationalized taking into account the direction of youth-parent discrepancy rather than as absolute…
New Developments in the Field
Community climate is the degree of support for GLBT people within a specific locale. In this paper we describe the elements of community climate, theorize how it is produced, and argue that this approach provides an important elaboration of Meyer's (2003) O'donnell, L., Agronick, G., San Doval, A., Duran, R., Myint-U, A. and Stueve, A. 2002. Ethnic and gay community attachments and sexual risk behaviors among urban Latino young men who have sex w…
