“…Among Asian Americans and Latinos exposed to discrimination, frequent religious attendance is associated with lower likelihood of major depression [15] and better self-rated mental health [73]. Moreover, Muslim Americans reporting higher levels of spirituality and increased practice of daily prayer show less likelihood of depression despite discrimination [74,75]. …”

Perceived Racial/Ethnic Discrimination and Mental Health: a Review and Future Directions for Social Epidemiology

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Purpose of review Recent literature on racial or ethnic discrimination and mental health was reviewed to assess the current science and identify key areas of emphasis for social epidemiology. Objectives of this review were to: 1) Determine whether there have been advancements in the measurement and analysis of perceived discrimination; 2) Identify the use of theories and/or frameworks in perceived discrimination and mental health research; and 3) Assess the extent to which stress buffers are being considered and evaluated in the existing literature. Recent findings Metrics and analytic approaches used to assess discrimination remain largely unchanged. Theory and/or frameworks such as the stress and coping framework continue to be underused in majority of the studies. Adolescents and young adults experiencing racial/ethnic discrimination were at greater risk of adverse mental health outcomes, and the accumulation of stressors over the life course may have an aggregate impact on mental health. Some growth seems evident in studies examining the mediation and moderation of stress buffers and other key factors with the findings suggesting a reduction in the effects of discrimination on mental health. Summary Discrimination scales should consider the multiple social identities of a person, the context where the exposure occurs, how the stressor manifests specifically in adolescents, the historical traumas, and cumulative exposure. Life course theory and intersectionality may help guide future work. Despite existing research, gaps remain in in elucidating the effects of racial and ethnic discrimination on mental health, signaling an opportunity and a call to social epidemiologists to engage in interdisciplinary research to speed research progress.

“…Intentional or unintentional forms of discrimination are widespread and appear in a wide range of contexts and cultures. Discrimination has both direct consequences (e.g., decreasing the probability of getting a job; Neumark, 2016;Gaddis, 2015) and indirect consequences (e.g., such as increasing the risk of depression; Hodge, Zidan, & Husain, 2015;Kim, 2014) at the individual level, and it also impacts society negatively (e.g., Fernandez-Ballesteros, Olmos, Santacreu, Bustillos, & Molina, 2017;Thorat & Newman, 2007).…”

Several studies have documented ethnic and gender discrimination in a variety markets, including the housing market. Discrimination in the housing market is associated with decreased social integration and is costly both at social and individual levels. In the current pre-registered field experiment, we sent inquires to advertisements for rentals in England and Poland. Inquires were signed with Arabic, English, or Polish sounding male and female names. Contrary to our expectation, we found no evidence of discrimination in the English housing market. We, however, found evidence of discrimination of Arabic males in the Polish housing market. The probability of receiving a response was generally lower in England compared to Poland. The results are discussed against current social and political situations in both countries.

“…Hodge et al (2015) asserts that this coping mechanism helps "individuals manage the meaning attributed to the problem, or manage the stress symptoms that result from the experience." According to the Muslim American women interviewed, disassociating themselves or their faith from a discriminatory event helped them heal faster.…”

“…In other words, by dissociating themselves, Muslim women control how they perceive themselves. Hodge et al (2015) argues that "altering perceptions about the nature of the threat, or the associated stress lessens the drain on individual's stores of psychological capital, resulting in salutary outcomes." Therefore, being able to modify discriminatory experiences to contribute to a positive self-perception and identity is important for the participants.…”
