Q1. Findings from Cabrera et al. (2019) found that the cultural perspective, rather than the social integration theory, better explained the findings that foreign-born Latina mothers were more likely to remain in stable family structures than U.S.-born Latina mothers. Provide two explanations for why the cultural perspective may have better explained the findings than the social integration perspective.
Q2. Galvan et al. (2022) used social stress theory to explain how distress due to family separation difficulties (i.e., transnational family stress) may impact the health of undocumented Latinx immigrants.
○ First, explain the overall premise of social stress theory.
○ Second, describe one example from the findings that support this theory. [Provide a specific finding from the study].
○ Third, provide at least two explanations for the findings you have chosen to highlight.
Q3. The findings from Roche et al. (2018) can be summarized in three ways.
○ First, the negative impact of immigration news and events are not limited to undocumented parents. Give one example from the results that suggest the negative impact of immigration news/events is a shared and/or spill-over effect, and provide an explanation for the example provided. [Provide a specific finding from the study]
○ Second, study findings did not support the idea of “hierarchy” of residency status. Give an example from the results that supports this finding, along with an explanation for it. [Provide a specific finding from the study]
○ Third, the authors suggest that U.S. citizenship has a uniquely protective value that other residency statuses do not have. Give an example from the results that supports this argument, along with an explanation for why this might be the case. [Provide a specific finding from the study]
