Abstract

We explored whether perceived social support and familism emotional support mitigate the association between COVID-19 related racial/ethnic bias and depressive symptoms in a sample of Latinx emerging adults. We found familism emotional support but not perceived social support buffered the effect of COVID-19 related racial/ethnic bias on depressive symptoms.
