N1 - Funding Information:
Data collection was supported by the Department of Human Development and Family Studies Internal Funds awarded to Dr. Mayra Y. Bámaca when she was an Associate Professor at The Pennsylvania State University. Special thanks to Sandy Rosario, former research project coordinator for the IMPACT lab, graduate students Lorena Aceves, Jasmin Castillo, and Amanda Griffin, Context and Development Lab (CDL) Graduate Research Assistants, and all undergraduate research assistants in both the IMPACT and CDL labs for their assistance in conducting this research project. We also thank the PACT PSU group for their feedback on the development of this research project and Gloria Merrick, executive Director of the Latino/Hispanic American Community Center (LHACC), for her support. Additionally, we thank Sunhye Bai and Miriam Brinberg for their guidance, and the anonymous reviewers and Journal Editor, Linda Halgunseth, for their excellent feedback in an earlier version of the manuscript. Finally, we are forever grateful for the participation of Latinx parents and adolescents who were willing to engage in our project and share with us about their daily experiences at home, school, and other contexts; this research would not have been possible without your willingness to participate.

N2 - In this 14-day study, we tested whether Latinx adolescents’ (Mage = 12.76 years, 52% female; 52% U.S. born; N = 21) and parents’ (95% female; 24% U.S. born) daily discrimination experiences were associated with their own and other’s daily affective states. Results indicated that on days when adolescents reported discrimination, they reported higher negative affect and marginally lower positive affect and, interestingly, parents reported higher positive affect. On average (i.e., across the 2-week period), adolescents’ discrimination was associated with higher adolescent negative affect and lower parent positive affect. Together, findings suggest that Latinx adolescents’ discrimination experiences are linked to their own affective states and their parents’. Results underscore how discrimination is linked to the affective states present in family contexts.
