TI  - A caballo regalao no se le mira el colmillo: Colonial mentality and Puerto Rican 
      depression.

AB  - Dignifying the colonizer and depreciating the colonized is a reflection of 
      internalized colonial oppression (i.e., colonial mentality). The current study 
      examined the effect of colonial mentality on depression symptoms in a sample of 
      mainland Puerto Ricans (N = 352). A structural equation model was examined, in 
      which colonial mentality was hypothesized to be directly and positively 
      associated with depression symptoms. The proposed model also tested the indirect 
      effect of colonial mentality on depression symptoms via acculturative stress. 
      Results indicated that a full mediation structural equation model (SEM) had a 
      better fit to the data than our hypothesized partial mediation model. 
      Bias-corrected bootstrapping indicated that the effect of colonial mentality on 
      depressive symptoms was mediated by acculturative stress. That is, colonial 
      mentality increased the risk of experiencing depression symptoms in Puerto Ricans 
      when they felt pressured to maintaining a connection with Puerto Rican culture 
      and society and when they experienced rejection by the society they want to 
      emulate (acculturative stress). The current results underscore the need for 
      researchers and clinicians to consider and assess colonial mentality when 
      conceptualizing depression symptoms among mainland Puerto Ricans. (PsycINFO
