本研究旨在探讨种族歧视知觉与非稳态负荷（AL）的前瞻性关系，沿着可能的缓冲区的协会。在南部农村的331名非裔美国人的样本提供了从16岁到18岁的感知歧视的评估。当青少年18岁时，照顾者报告父母的情感支持和青年评估同伴的情感支持。AL和潜在的混杂变量进行了评估时，青年20。潜在增长混合模型确定了两个感知的歧视类：高和稳定，低和增加。高和稳定类的青少年表现出较高的AL，即使混杂变量控制。种族歧视与AL的联系对于获得高情感支持的年轻人来说并不显著。
This study was designed to examine the prospective relations of perceived racial discrimination with allostatic load (AL), along with a possible buffer of the association. A sample of 331 African Americans in the rural South provided assessments of perceived discrimination from ages 16 to 18 years. When youth were 18 years, caregivers reported parental emotional support and youth assessed peer emotional support. AL and potential confounder variables were assessed when youth were 20. Latent growth mixture modeling identified two perceived discrimination classes: high and stable, and low and increasing. Adolescents in the high and stable class evinced heightened AL even with confounder variables controlled. The racial discrimination to AL link was not significant for young adults who received high emotional support.
