少数民族青年在升学过渡期受到的民族性消极对待可能会影响其长期适应。我们研究了青年人对公开歧视的看法以及他们的种族群体被更大的社会贬低的感觉在563名拉丁裔,欧洲人,亚洲人和其他少数民族新兴成年人中的人内变化(M(年龄)= 17.79,SD = 0.37,54.7%女性)。分析测试的群体和背景差异和协会之间的感知歧视和社会贬值他们的群体和调整。结果表明,虽然随着时间的推移,感知的歧视减少,感知的社会贬值增加。社会背景并没有影响变化的歧视和社会贬值。虽然感知到的歧视与每个人的抑郁和躯体症状有关,但感知到的社会贬值只对少数民族产生影响。未来的研究应确定可能的调节器,以帮助学生科普歧视的经验和不被社会重视的感觉。
Ethnicity-based negative treatment during the transition to college may affect the long-term adjustment of ethnic-minority youth. We examined within-person changes in youths' perceptions of overt discrimination and their sense of their ethnic group being devalued by the larger society among 563 Latino, European, Asian, and other ethnic minority emerging adults across the transition to college (M (age) = 17.79, SD = .37, 54.7% female). Analyses tested for group and context differences and associations between perceived discrimination and societal devaluation of their group and adjustment. Results indicate that although perceived discrimination decreases over time, perceived devaluation by society increases. Social context did not affect changes in perceived discrimination and societal devaluation. Whereas perceived discrimination was associated with depressive and somatic symptoms for everyone, perceived societal devaluation was only consequential for ethnic minorities. Future research should identify possible moderators to help students cope with experiences of discrimination and feelings of not being valued by society.
