This study assesses the specific anxiety symptoms that are present in the context of perceived ethnic discrimination in 696 (M age = 13.3, σ = .77, 57% girls) seventh and eighth-grade students with immigrant backgrounds from four different Canadian high schools. Multiple hierarchical linear regressions were conducted to determine the association between perceived ethnic discrimination and specific anxiety symptoms. Results demonstrate that perceived ethnic discrimination is significantly associated with more anxiety symptoms, such as panic/somatic, generalized anxiety, social phobia, and school phobia. Findings provide a better understanding of the association between perceived ethnic discrimination and anxiety symptoms reported by adolescents with an immigrant background. These findings could help school-based mental health professionals in the implementation of prevention and intervention measures aimed at reducing specific anxiety symptoms that are often present in the context of perceived ethnic discrimination.

本研究评估了来自加拿大四所不同高中的具有移民背景的 696 名（M 年龄 = 13.3，σ = .77，57% 女孩）七年级和八年级学生在感知种族歧视背景下存在的特定焦虑症状。进行了多重分层线性回归以确定感知的种族歧视与特定焦虑症状之间的关联。结果表明，感知到的种族歧视与更多的焦虑症状显着相关，例如恐慌/躯体焦虑、广泛性焦虑、社交恐惧症和学校恐惧症。调查结果让我们更好地了解了有移民背景的青少年所报告的种族歧视与焦虑症状之间的关联。
