Finch, Bohan and Vega (2000)-Transnationals were more likely to perceive discrimination than native residents

Coping with Discrimination: The Role of Religion
Coping with Discrimination: The Role of Religion
Consistent with research on immigrant populations and the importance of religion we found strong positive associations between religious participation, faith, and God, and one’s work satisfaction among 1st generation Mexican fathers.
Extending understandings about generational status, discriminatory experiences, and their impacts, our research investigates how fathers cope with discrimination and specifically address the mediating effects of religiosity on the family system.
