The primary goal of this study was to examine the relations between racial discrimination experiences and different dimensions of mental health stigma among a diverse sample of people of color.
Participants were recruited through blast emails at a large public university and completed an online survey ( = 205). Four linear regressions were completed predicting from recent racial discrimination experiences to (1) negative beliefs about mental health problems, (2) treatments, (3) treatment seeking and (4) anticipated stigma.
Results indicated that recent racial discrimination experiences contributed unique variance in anticipated stigma from loved ones, as well as negative beliefs about mental health problems.
Racial discrimination contributes to increased anticipated stigma and negative beliefs about mental health problems. Addressing the impact of racial discrimination as it influences these dimensions of mental health stigma is important to promote recovery among people of color.
本研究的主要目的是在不同的有色人种样本中,考察种族歧视经历与心理健康污名不同维度之间的关系。
通过在一所大型公立大学的群发电子邮件招募参与者,并完成在线调查(n=205)。完成了四个线性回归,从最近的种族歧视经历预测(1)对心理健康问题的负面信念,(2)治疗,(3)寻求治疗和(4)预期耻辱。
结果表明,最近的种族歧视经历对来自亲人的预期耻辱以及对心理健康问题的负面信念有独特的影响。
种族歧视导致预期的耻辱感和对心理健康问题的负面信念增加。解决种族歧视对这些心理健康污名维度的影响,对于促进有色人种的康复至关重要。
