Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the relationships between perceived discrimination and collective fears in Mexican-heritage adolescents of immigrant families living in the U.S (N = 210) by revalidating a new scale of collective fear (e.g., specific fear in person, specific fear in family, and widespread fear). Confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis was run to test the concurrent validity. The results revealed that perceived discrimination was significantly related to specific fear in person, specific fear in family, and widespread fear. Perceived fear was also significantly associated with mental health.
