Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who are...
Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture01:27

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...
Bullying02:04

Bullying

A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is bullying.
Conduct Disorder01:28

Conduct Disorder

Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...
Bias in Epidemiological Studies01:29

Bias in Epidemiological Studies

Biases can arise at various stages of research, from study design and data collection to analysis and interpretation. Recognizing and addressing these biases is essential to ensure the validity and reliability of epidemiological findings.Broadly speaking, biases in epidemiology fall into three main categories: selection bias, information bias, and confounding. A more detailed description of possible biases is:
Group Design02:01

Group Design

The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between the two are due to...

Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Public Health
  • Mental Health Research

Background:

  • Discrimination is a significant stressor impacting health and well-being.
  • Emerging adults face unique challenges related to identity and societal pressures.
  • Understanding the link between discrimination, violence, and mental health is crucial for public health interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the frequency and attributions of discrimination experiences among emerging adults.
  • To quantify the association between frequent discrimination and violence exposure (victimization, aggression).
  • To assess the relationship between discrimination and behavioral/mental health risk factors for violent injury.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of baseline survey data from a multi-site longitudinal study of emerging adults (aged 18-24).
  • Inclusion of participants recruited from emergency departments in Seattle, Philadelphia, and Flint (n=1,506).
  • Assessment of discrimination frequency, attribution, violence exposure, suicidal ideation, substance use, and mental health symptoms.

Main Results:

  • 79.1% reported daily discrimination; 31.2% experienced it weekly.
  • More-than-weekly discrimination was highest among multiracial (40%) and gender non-conforming (41.5%) individuals.
  • Weekly discrimination was associated with increased suicidal ideation, drug misuse, firearm victimization, and mental health symptoms (anxiety, depression, PTSD).

Conclusions:

  • Discrimination experiences, particularly those related to perceived inferiority, are strongly linked to mental health symptoms in emerging adults.
  • Substance use and violence outcomes show consistent associations across various discrimination types.
  • An intersectional approach is necessary to address the pervasive nature of discrimination among minoritized groups.
