Compendio En dos estudios, 190 inmigrantes nicaragüenses fueron encuestados mediante un cuestionario sobre: (a) sus experiencias de discriminación en Costa Rica, (b) sus reacciones afectivas ante la discriminación, y (c) sus representaciones sobre las causas de los eventos discriminatorios. El Estudio 1 (N = 102, 50% mujeres) muestra que las reacciones ante la discriminación forman dos dimensiones básicas, a saber, ira y depresión. Estas dimensiones se encontraron diferencialmente relacionadas con marcadores de salud mental, específicamente autoestima personal y colectiva. El Estudio 2 (N = 88, 51% mujeres) replica esta estructura bidimensional y muestra que las atribuciones sobre las causas de la discriminación moderan la relación entre discriminación, depresión e ira. Específicamente, las experiencias de discriminación se encontraron asociadas a la depresión, cuando la atribución causal de la discriminación eran las actitudes de los otros (el prejuicio de los costarricenses), pero cuando la explicación causal de la discriminación recayó en la pertenencia al colectivo discriminado (ser nicaragüense), las experiencias discriminación se encontraron asociadas a la ira.
In two studies, 190 Nicaraguan immigrants were interviewed about (a) their experiences of discrimination in Costa Rica, (b) their affective reactions toward discrimination, and (c) their representations about the causes of the discriminatory events. Study 1 (N = 192, 50% women) shows that the reactions towards discrimination form two basic dimensions, i.e., depression and anger. These dimensions correlated differentially with markers of mental health, specifically personal and collective self-esteem. Study 2 (N = 88, 51% women) replicates this bidimensional structure and shows that causal attribution of discrimination moderates the relationship between discrimination, depression and anger. Specifically, experiences of discrimination were found to be associated with depression when causal attribution of discrimination were the attitudes of the other (i.e. Costa Ricans´ prejudice), however when causal explanation of the discrimination rested in the membership to the discriminated group (being Nicaraguan), experiences of discrimination were found to be related with anger.
