歧视是一个紧迫的公共卫生问题。美国一些主要城市和县宣布种族主义是一场公共卫生危机。虽然关于歧视与健康之间联系的研究越来越多，但对歧视的社会关系后果却知之甚少。本研究通过调查歧视，肤色，客观和主观的社会孤立之间的关系，使用具有全国代表性的样本AfricanAmerican.MethodThis分析是基于非裔美国人的子样本（N= 3,570）的美国生活的全国调查，解决了这一知识差距。歧视与日常歧视量表进行了评估。客观和主观的隔离区分受访者谁是（a）社会孤立的家人和朋友，（B）社会孤立的朋友，（c）社会孤立的家庭，（d）没有社会孤立。肤色是自我报告的。多项Logistic回归分析被用来测试的研究hypothes.ResultsThe分析表明，更频繁的歧视性的经验与主观和客观的社会孤立的风险增加。肤色调节了歧视与主观孤立之间的联系;肤色较深的参与者的歧视与孤立关系更强。结论这些发现揭示了非裔美国人在歧视和肤色主义方面的微妙经历。此外，数据表明，在非洲裔美国人的人口内的歧视的不利影响的脆弱性的异质性;歧视和主观孤立之间的关系是分层的肤色。这强调了美国有据可查且持续存在的种族化社会分层制度（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2024阿帕，保留所有权利）
ObjectivesDiscrimination is an urgent public health problem. A number of major cities and counties across the United States has declared racism a public health crisis. While there is a growing body of research on the discrimination-health connection, less is known regarding the social relational consequences of discrimination. The present study addresses this knowledge gap by investigating the relationship between discrimination, skin tone, and objective and subjective social isolation using a nationally representative sample of African Americans.MethodThis analysis was based upon the African American subsample (N= 3,570) of the National Survey of American Life. Discrimination was assessed with the Everyday Discrimination Scale. Objective and subjective isolation differentiated between respondents who were (a) socially isolated from both family and friends,(b) socially isolated from friends only,(c) socially isolated from family only, and (d) not socially isolated. Skin tone was self-reported. Multinomial logistic regression analyses were used to test the study hypotheses.ResultsThe analyses indicated that more frequent discriminatory experiences were associated with increased risk for subjective and objective social isolation. Skin tone moderated the association between discrimination and subjective isolation; the discrimination-isolation relationship was stronger among participants with darker skin tones.ConclusionsThese findings shed light on African Americans’ nuanced experiences with discrimination and colorism. Further, the data demonstrate heterogeneity in the vulnerability to the adverse effects of discrimination within the African American population; the relationship between discrimination and subjective isolation was stratified by skin tone. This underscores the well-documented and persistent racialized social stratification system in the United States (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
