Abstract
We examined the role of ethnoracial discrimination, social support, and hope as predictors of worry and depressive symptoms in a sample of multiethnoracial adults. As expected, ethnoracial discrimination and social support significantly contributed to worry and depressive symptoms. Hope remained a significant predictor of negative psychological adjustment in this population.
