The present study examined discrimination attributions in the psychological well-being of Black adolescents. Findings are based on a representative sample of 810 African American and 360 Caribbean Black youth, aged 13 to 17, who participated in the National Survey of American Life (NSAL). Youth completed measures of perceived discrimination, discrimination attributions, depressive symptoms, self-esteem and life satisfaction. Approximately half the youth attributed discrimination to race/ethnicity (43%), followed by age (17%), physical appearance (16.5%) and gender (7.5%) and there were no ethnic, gender or age differences regarding discrimination attributions. Key findings suggest that the association between perceived discrimination and psychological did not vary according to discrimination attribution, which implies that discrimination is harmful for Black youth regardless of the attribution.
本研究考察了黑人青少年心理健康中的歧视归因。研究结果基于810名非裔美国青少年和360名加勒比黑人青少年的代表性样本，他们年龄在13至17岁之间，参与了美国生活全国调查（NSAL）。这些青少年完成了关于感知到的歧视、歧视归因、抑郁症状、自尊和生活满意度的测量。大约一半的青少年将歧视归因于种族/族裔（43%），其次是年龄（17%）、外貌（16.5%）和性别（7.5%），在歧视归因方面不存在种族、性别或年龄差异。主要研究结果表明，感知到的歧视与心理之间的关联并不会因歧视归因的不同而有所变化，这意味着无论归因如何，歧视对黑人青少年都是有害的。
