许多研究发现，歧视感与不健康行为，特别是物质使用之间存在联系。然而，在这一系列文献中，一些研究发现了意想不到的证据，证明非洲裔美国人（主要是女性）的种族歧视与某些类型的健康行为（主要是锻炼和健康饮食）之间存在正相关。目前的研究进一步研究了这种积极的关系，包括预期的调节剂：乐观。它还研究了感知到的种族歧视与不健康行为的相关因素：BMI之间的关系。六波数据收集了超过14年的三个相关样本的非裔美国人的家庭参与家庭和社区健康研究。每个家庭包括一名青少年（第1波时法师= 10.5），青少年的主要照顾者（法师= 37），在某些情况下，还有该青少年的哥哥姐姐（法师= 13）。波1 N分别为889、889和295。健康行为被定义为饮食和运动。在任何样本中，几乎没有证据表明种族歧视与BMI之间存在长期关系，也没有证据表明男性的歧视与健康行为之间存在关系。然而，相关性分析显示，歧视和健康行为之间的积极的前瞻性关系，所有三组女性，结构方程模型表明，这种关系是强的女性谁是高乐观。在非裔美国人中，种族歧视似乎与BMI无关，但与性格乐观的黑人女性的健康行为有关。
Numerous studies have found evidence of a link between perceived discrimination and unhealthy behavior, especially substance use. Within this body of literature, however, several studies have found unexpected evidence of a positive relation between perceived racial discrimination among African Americans—mostly women--and certain types of healthy behavior, primarily exercise and healthy eating. The current study further examined this positive relation, including an anticipated moderator: optimism. It also examined the relation between perceived racial discrimination and a correlate of unhealthy behavior: BMI. Six waves of data were collected over 14 years in three related samples of African Americans from families participating in the Family and Community Health Study. Each family included an adolescent (Mage = 10.5 at Wave 1), the adolescent’s primary caregiver (Mage = 37), and, in some cases, an older sibling of that adolescent (Mage = 13). Wave 1 Ns were 889, 889, and 295, respectively. Healthy behavior was defined as diet and exercise. There was very little evidence of a long-term relation between perceived racial discrimination and BMI in any sample, and no evidence of a relation between discrimination and healthy behavior among the males. However, correlational analyses revealed a positive prospective relation between discrimination and healthy behavior among all three groups of females; Structural Equation Modeling indicated that this relation was stronger among women who were high in optimism. Perceived racial discrimination does not appear to be related to BMI among African Americans, but it is related to healthy behavior among Black females who are high in dispositional optimism.
