This study used Hayes Process Macro for SPSS version 29 to conduct a parallel mediation regression analysis examining the direct and indirect influence of adolescent perceptions of discrimination on academic outcomes and socio-emotional adjustment through teacher and peer relationships in a sample of Mexican-origin adolescents (N=674, M_age=14.27), when controlling for acculturation, English, family income, and gender. The results of our study indicate that perceptions of discrimination significantly and negatively predicted the quality of relationships with teachers (β=-0.343, p<0.009), and peers (β=-0.208, p<0.004). teacher- child relationships, however, did not significantly predict academic performance. interestingly, acculturation had a negative significant relationship with all study variables, indicating that as increased, the quality of teacher peer outcomes, socio-emotional adjustment decreased, suggesting possible individual-, cultural-, school, or community-level protective factors. perceptions discrimination both directly (c'=-0.277,p<0.00) indirectly affected through relationships (a_1 b_1=-0.025, c=-.31), (a_2 b_2=-0.034). our model explained 15% variation in socioemotional 5% outcomes for mexican-origin adolescents.
