“…First, the kinds of events that privileged and disadvantaged groups attribute to prejudice are likely to differ in terms of their severity. Empirical research (Branscombe, 1998;Kappen, Branscombe, Kobrynowicz, & Schmitt, 2000;Swim, Cohen, & Hyers, 1998) has demonstrated that the kinds of events women label as discriminatory (e.g., unequal pay, fear of sexual assault) are more severe than the kinds of events men label as discriminatory (e.g., having to pay when on dates, being more likely to get a speeding ticket). In addition, disadvantaged groups are likely to perceive prejudice against them as occurring across a wider variety of contexts than do privileged groups.…”

Using structural equation modeling, we tested theoretical predictions concerning the effects of perceived discrimination against one's gender on psychological well-being in women and men. Results were highly supportive of the rejection-identification model, with perceptions of discrimination harming psychological well-being among women, but not among men. Our results also support the rejection-identification model's prediction that women partially cope with the negative well-being consequences of perceived discrimination by increasing identification with women as a group. In contrast, perceived discrimination was unrelated to group identification among men. We found no support for the hypothesis that perceptions of discrimination have self-protective properties among the disadvantaged. Results are consistent with our contention that the differential effects of perceived discrimination among women and men are due to differences in the groups' relative positions within the social structure.
