我们评估了感知歧视是否预测了心理困扰和物质使用的变化，以及心理困扰和物质使用是否预测了感知歧视的变化。我们还评估了这些结构之间的关联是否因性别而异。我们的样本包括607名黑人新兴成年人（53%为女性），随访四年。参与者报告了他们在过去一年中经历种族纠纷的频率、过去一周的焦虑和抑郁症状以及过去30天内吸烟和饮酒的情况。我们估计了一系列的潜在增长模型来检验我们的研究假设。我们发现，截距的感知歧视预测的线性斜率的焦虑症状，抑郁症状和酒精使用。我们没有发现我们的心理健康或物质使用变量的截距因子与感知歧视线性斜率因子之间存在任何关联。我们发现不同性别的路径之间的差异有限。我们的研究结果表明，随着时间的推移，新兴的成年人之间的感知种族歧视，心理困扰和酒精使用之间的关联的时间顺序。此外，我们的研究结果表明，感知到的种族歧视可能在男性和女性中同样有害。
We assessed whether perceived discrimination predicted changes in psychological distress and substance use over time and whether psychological distress and substance use predicted change in perceived discrimination over time. We also assessed whether associations between these constructs varied by gender. Our sample included 607 Black emerging adults (53% female) followed for four years. Participants reported the frequency with which they had experienced racial hassles during the past year, symptoms of anxiety and depression during the past week, and cigarette and alcohol use during the past 30 days. We estimated a series of latent growth models to test our study hypotheses. We found that the intercept of perceived discrimination predicted the linear slopes of anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, and alcohol use. We did not find any associations between the intercept factors of our mental health or substance use variables and the perceived discrimination linear slope factor. We found limited differences across paths by gender. Our findings suggest a temporal ordering in the associations among perceived racial discrimination, psychological distress, and alcohol use over time among emerging adults. Further, our findings suggest that perceived racial discrimination may be similarly harmful among men and women.
