Abstract
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Using data from 283 U.S. Latino/a young adults, I examined self-mastery/control and perceived negative communication with a romantic partner as potential intervening mechanisms for the associations between ethnic discrimination and anxiety and depressive symptoms. I also examined if these associations varied based on gender. Findings revealed that for men, but not women, ethnic discrimination was associated with increased anxiety and depressive symptoms. Further, for men and women, self-mastery/control was negatively associated with perceived negative communication with a romantic partner. Finally, for women, but not men, negative communication with a romantic partner was associated with increased anxiety and depressive symptoms.
