The present study identified a plurality of coping responses, which provides a spectrum of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral strategies, both adaptive and maladaptive to combat the stresses of racism. These identified coping responses reflect a cognitive-contextual perspective, coined by the authors of this paper. This perspective reflects a combination of coping strategies that omit previous research which suggest mostly anger, depression, and anxiety as a possible response to perceived racial discrimination. These negative emotional responses are suggested to result in chronic physical and mental health risk. Current findings also support the need for examining these racism-coping phenomena from a biopsychosocial perspective. It would allow health practitioners information to treat individuals impacted by cultural stress from a holistic perspective and could be included as part of both mental and physical healthcare.
本研究确定了多种应对方式，为认知、情感和行为策略提供了一个范围，这些策略既有适应的，也有不适应的，可以用来应对种族主义带来的压力。这些确定的应对方式反映了本文作者提出的认知-情境观点。这一观点反映了一种应对策略的组合，摒弃了之前的研究，即认为对感知到的种族歧视的可能反应主要是愤怒、抑郁和焦虑。这些负面情绪反应被认为会导致慢性身心健康风险。目前的研究结果也支持从生物心理社会角度来研究这些种族主义应对现象的必要性。这将使卫生保健从业者能够从整体的角度了解受文化压力影响的个人，并可将其作为心理和身体健康护理的一部分。
