“…Indeed, our prior findings documented the combined role of discrimination and depression on support for VR (Rousseau, Hassan, et al, 2019). Specifically, prior research has documented a direct association between discrimination and support for VR (Rousseau et al, 2018; Rousseau, Oulhote, et al, 2019) and between depression and support for VR (Miconi, Oulhote, Hassan, & Rousseau, 2020; Rousseau, Hassan, et al, 2019), as well as an indirect effect of discrimination on support for VR via the mediating role of depression (Rousseau, Hassan, et al, 2019). In other words, while both discrimination and depression can be considered risk factors, prior findings suggest that higher levels of discrimination are associated with higher levels of depression, which in turn are associated with higher levels of support for VR, documenting a combined effect of the two risk factors.…”
