This study examines differences in experiences between Muslim and Christian Arabs (N = 1016) utilizing data from the Detroit Arab American Study (DAAS). Results showed that Muslim and Christian Arabs held similar levels of religious centrality and psychological distress but differed in reports of negative religious public regard and experiences of discrimination. Additionally, religious public regard and religious centrality predicted psychological distress similarly for Muslim and Christian Arab Americans. The relationship between religious centrality and psychological distress was mediated by negative religious public regard and perceived discrimination. Study implications are discussed.
本研究利用底特律阿拉伯裔美国人研究（DAAS）的数据，考察了穆斯林和基督教阿拉伯人之间经历的差异。结果表明，穆斯林和基督教阿拉伯人在宗教中心性和心理困扰方面的水平相似，但在负面宗教公共看法和歧视经历方面存在差异。此外，宗教公共看法和宗教中心性对穆斯林和基督教阿拉伯裔美国人的心理困扰有相似的预测作用。宗教中心性与心理困扰之间的关系受到负面宗教公共看法和感知歧视的中介作用。研究意义得到了讨论。
