作者评估了文化规范和社会背景对处理感知到的种族歧视的应对过程的影响，并对来自居住在多伦多的韩国移民的个人访谈的横截面数据进行了分析。在受访者中，积极的，以问题为中心的应对方式是更有效地减少抑郁症的影响感知歧视，而频繁使用被动的，以情绪为中心的应对削弱心理健康的影响effects.The目前的研究结果提供了更大的支持，社会背景的解释比文化维护的解释应对过程。他们还认为，当获得足够的社会资源时，具有不同文化遗产的少数民族个人更有可能面对而不是接受种族偏见。
The authors evaluated the effects of cultural norms and social contexts on coping processes involved in dealing with perceived racial discrimination.Cross-sectional data derived from personal interviews with Korean immigrants residing in Toronto were analyzed. Among the respondents, active, problem-focused coping styles were more effective in reducing the impacts on depression of perceived discrimination, while frequent use of passive, emotion-focused coping had debilitating mental health effects.The present findings lend greater support to a social contextual explanation than to a cultural maintenance explanation of coping processes. They also suggest that, when empowered with sufficient social resources, racial minority individuals of diverse cultural heritages are more likely to confront than to accept racial bias.
