This study used a multi-faceted methodological approach to examine if peer perceptions of stereotyped student groups' mental health needs varied by target race and student-athlete status. In Study 1, 502 university students completed an online experiment. Study 2 data were drawn from the American College Health Association (ACHA)-National College Health Assessment ( = 65,167) and Healthy Minds Study ( = 43,487). Study 1 participants rated the severity of various mental health concerns for Black non-student-athletes, White non-student-athletes, Black student-athletes, or White student-athletes. Study 2 conceptualized peer perceptions vis-à-vis mental health patterns in national data. Study 1 generally revealed lower perceived severity of mental health concerns for Black non-student-athletes. In contrast, Study 2 patterns revealed more variations across student status groups, including that Black non-student-athletes exhibited relatively high prevalence rates of numerous mental health concerns. Results may suggest mental health under-/over-pathologizing, with implications for training and peer-to-peer mental health interventions.
本研究采用多方面的方法论来检验对刻板印象中的学生群体心理健康需求的同伴认知是否因目标种族和学生运动员身份而异。在研究1中，502名大学生完成了一项在线实验。研究2的数据来自美国大学健康协会（ACHA）-全国大学健康评估（n = 65,167）和健康心灵研究（n = 43,487）。研究1的参与者对黑人非学生运动员、白人非学生运动员、黑人学生运动员或白人学生运动员的各种心理健康问题的严重程度进行了评分。研究2在全国数据中对与心理健康模式相关的同伴认知进行了概念化。研究1总体上显示，黑人非学生运动员的心理健康问题严重程度的认知较低。相比之下，研究2的模式显示，不同学生身份群体之间的差异更大，包括黑人非学生运动员表现出多种心理健康问题的相对较高患病率。结果可能表明存在心理健康病理化不足/过度的情况，这对培训和同伴间心理健康干预具有启示意义。
