I hear: You fat woman, you're going to eat that Mango? Yesterday, it seems (as later revealed) I mistook his stray off-hand minimalist comment about the mango I was going to put in my oatmeal to mean something entirely different than what it was intended to mean (or at least that's what he claimed when we decided to "talk" about it) Then its back to status quo.īeing pregnant means that I now, thanks to the overload, get to extrapolate all this and take my dissatisfaction up several notches.

Data from 444 adolescents (239 girls and 205 boys, with a mean age of 13.0 years for Wave 1 and 17.0 years for Wave 2) and their parents living in major metropolitan areas of Northern California were collected. The current study uses GarcÝa Coll et al.'s (1996) developmental competence model of ethnic minority children and Kim's (1999) racial triangulation theory as frameworks for investigating the mechanisms whereby early adolescent English proficiency relates to perceived discriminatory experiences and adolescent depressive symptoms. ![]() ADOLEC-Accent, perpetual foreigner stereotype, and perceived discrimination as indirect links between English proficiency and depressive symptoms in Chinese American adolescents.Īccent, perpetual foreigner stereotype, and perceived discrimination as indirect links between English proficiency and depressive symptoms in Chinese American adolescents.
