| Annotation | This study examined ethnic and gender differences in social stress among three groups of elderly Hispanics: Mexican Americans, Cuban Americans, and Puerto Ricans. Findings from the cross-tabulation analysis between stress and ethnic groups revealed that the older Cuban Americans appear to experience less caregiving, family, anxiety and social dependence stress than the other two groups. Findings from the cross-tabulation analysis between stress and gender revealed that older Hispanic women were more likely to experience family, anxiety, social isolation, and social dependence stress. The logistic regression analyses showed that ethnic differences in family stress and anxiety and gender differences in caregiving stress and social isolation stress were confounded by differences in sociodemographic and health variables. Further sub-group analyses of ethnic and gender differences provide a more in-depth understanding of social dependency stress and anxiety. Implications for human services and research are discussed.
