本研究以非裔美国人和欧洲裔美国中年妇女 (N= 363) 为社区样本，探讨了心血管反应与人际虐待和歧视的关系。对于非裔美国人参与者来说，轻微的虐待与舒张压（DBP）反应呈正相关，但与欧洲裔美国人参与者无关。此外，在非裔美国人参与者中，那些将虐待归因于种族歧视的人表现出更高的平均 DBP 反应性。特别是，这些女性对言语任务表现出更大的 DBP 反应，这与遭遇种族偏见相似，但与非社会镜像追踪任务不同。这些发现与种族歧视是一种慢性压力源的假设相一致，它可以通过与生理反应相关的致病过程对非裔美国人的心血管健康产生负面影响。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）
This study examined the relationship of cardiovascular reactivity to both interpersonal mistreatment and discrimination in a community-based sample of African American and European American women (N= 363) in midlife. Subtle mistreatment related positively to diastolic blood pressure (DBP) reactivity for African American participants but not their European American counterparts. Moreover, among the African American participants, those who attributed mistreatment to racial discrimination exhibited greater average DBP reactivity. In particular, these women demonstrated greater DBP reactivity to the speech task, which bore similarities to an encounter with racial prejudice but not to a nonsocial mirror tracing task. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that racial discrimination is a chronic stressor that can negatively impact the cardiovascular health of African Americans through pathogenic processes associated with physiologic reactivity.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
