520 # $a The findings were interpreted taking into account the values, norms and traditions of the Latino culture, and the challenges that are presented to people who move from one culture to another that is fundamentally different from the culture of origin.
520 # $a This study examines the experience of stress among Mexican immigrant women through the lenses of Ecological, Intersectionality, and Social Networks Theories. The three research questions were: (1) Does access to a larger social network influence the experience of stress among Mexican immigrant women?; (2) Do Mexican immigrant women holding a greater number of social roles experience more or less stress than women with fewer social roles?; and, (3) How women with lower levels of stress are similar/different from those who experience higher levels of stress?
520 # $a Several hypotheses are presented in the introductory chapter. A questionnaire, blood pressure, heart rate variability, pulse, and semi-structure interviews were used to collect data from 100 people. Differences were found in the women's experience of stress when considering certain demographic characteristics. The results show higher familial stress among women with access to more social networks, but the number of social roles was not a predictor or a mediator of stress. Age at migration predicted social networks, and women with longer time in the U.S. had access to larger networks. Working women with children under 18 at home had higher levels of stress than all other women; immigration stress was higher among women living with a husband/partner; parental stress was higher among women with a husband/partner and three or more children; and, women with a husband/partner and three or more children reported more familial stress than other groups. Women with more years in the U.S. presented with less occupational stress, (this was mediated by the size of social networks, but not by the number of social roles performed).
520 # $a In addition, the study explored the correlations between psychosocial measures of stress and blood pressure, pulse and heart variability contributing data on the concurrent validity of the Hispanic Stress Inventory. The qualitative interviews confirmed the quantitative and biomarkers findings.
