Abstract
This article examines the predictors of linked fate, or the sense that the individual’s well-being is tied to the well-being of their racial group, across Latino generations. One of the strongest predictors of linked fate is discrimination. To expand our understanding of linked fate among Latino generations, I include several measures of discrimination to assess what types of discrimination lead to the acquisition of linked fate and immigrant linked fate among Latinos. The dataset used for this study is the Collaborative Multi-racial Post-Election Survey (CMPS) 2016 and included are several ordered logistic regressions examining what predictors lead to the development of linked fate and immigrant linked fate among Latino generation. The results suggest that measures of discriminations vary as predictors of linked fate and immigrant linked fate across Latino generations, thus alluding to how various historical contexts shape each generation’s sense of linked fate.
