约翰·亨利主义，一个用来描述高努力应对的结构，可能有助于解释观察到的黑人和白人之间的健康差异。以前的研究表明，约翰亨利主义与消极的身体健康因素有关。然而，很少有研究集中在约翰亨利主义和心理困扰之间的关系。因此，在这项探索性研究中，我们研究了约翰·亨利主义，心理困扰和幸福感之间的关系，在一个不同的黑人妇女样本。结果表明，约翰·亨利主义与抑郁症之间存在负相关。这一发现与过去的研究相反，表明约翰·亨利主义可能对身体健康不适应，但对心理健康不适应。研究结果的局限性和影响进行了讨论。
John Henryism, a construct developed to describe high effort coping, may help explain the observed health disparities between Blacks and Whites. Previous research suggests that John Henryism is associated with negative physical health factors. However, little research has focused on the relationship between John Henryism and psychological distress. Accordingly, in this exploratory study, we examined the relationships between John Henryism, psychological distress, and well-being in a diverse sample of Black women. Results indicate that there is a negative correlation between John Henryism and depressive symptomatology. This finding is in contrast to past research and suggests that John Henryism may be maladaptive to physical health but not mental health. The limitations and implications of the findings are discussed.
