Sponsor: Maciel Hernandez, Ph.D. Human Ecology Rural Latinx parents in the United States often face discrimination due to race relations and xenophobia, which can serve as a significant stressor impacting both their well-being and family dynamics. Prior research has demonstrated negative associations between parental ethnic-racial discrimination and child well-being outcomes. Multiple studies also suggest that positive parenting dimensions are related to various indicators of well-being in early adolescence, including life satisfaction, self-esteem, health, and academic performance. These findings underscore the importance of promoting positive parenting as a way to enhance youth well-being and potentially buffer family stressors, such as parental ethnic-racial discrimination. In a sample of Latinx parents of children attending middle school in a rural, primarily Latinx community in California, this study examined how parent ethnic- racial discrimination (α = .76) and positive parenting (α = .66) were associated with several markers of child well-being (N = 52; Mage = 12.65 years; 61.5% boys). Using regression analyses, we propose to test the potential moderating role of parental warmth on the association between parental ethnic-racial discrimination and child well-being. Findings will contribute to our understanding of resilience processes among early Latinx adolescents and families, highlighting the protective role of positive parenting in mitigating the effects of discrimination-related stressors.
