Description: 
This study considers how attributional and relational dimensions of ethnicity affect Latinxs’ health outcomes. Analyzing data from the 2006 Portraits of American Life Study, we examined how dimensions of ethnicity affect intragroup differences among Latinxs and intergroup differences between Latinxs and non-Hispanic Whites with regards to mental and physical health status.
