BACKGROUND
Studies have linked perceived racism to psychological distress via certain coping strategies in several different racial and ethnic groups, but few of these studies included indigenous populations. Elucidating modifiable factors for intervention to reduce the adverse effects of racism on psychological well-being is another avenue to addressing health inequities.
METHODS
We examined the potential mediating effects of 14 distinct coping strategies on the relationship between perceived racism and psychological distress in a community-based sample of 145 Native Hawaiians using structural equation modeling.
RESULTS
Perceived racism had a significant indirect effect on psychological distress, mediated through venting and behavioral disengagement coping strategies, with control for age, gender, educational level, and marital status.
DISCUSSION
The findings suggest that certain coping strategies may exacerbate the deleterious effects of racism on a person's psychological well-being.
CONCLUSION
Our study adds Native Hawaiians to the list of U.S. racial and ethnic minorities whose psychological well-being is adversely affected by racism.
背景
在多个不同种族和族裔群体中，研究发现，感知到的种族主义通过某些应对策略与心理困扰相关，但这些研究中很少包括土著人群。阐明可干预的因素，以减少种族主义对心理幸福感的不利影响，是解决健康不平等问题的另一个途径。
方法
我们使用结构方程模型，在基于社区的 145 名夏威夷原住民样本中，检验了 14 种不同应对策略在感知到的种族主义与心理困扰之间的潜在中介效应。
结果
感知到的种族主义对心理困扰有显著的间接影响，通过倾诉和行为脱离应对策略进行中介，控制了年龄、性别、教育水平和婚姻状况。
讨论
研究结果表明，某些应对策略可能会加剧种族主义对一个人心理幸福感的有害影响。
结论
我们的研究将夏威夷原住民纳入了美国少数族裔的名单，这些族裔的心理幸福感受到种族主义的不利影响。
