When groups perceive the discrimination they receive as legitimate: Consequences for well-being and collective action

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Our current theorizing cannot inform us about the antecedents and consequences of perceiving discrimination as legitimate (e.g., ageism, singelism). There is an urgent need to examine these issues because being confronted with legitimate group discrimination has important consequences for mental health and group functioning. The unique value of the research lies in addressing an important hidden social problem that groups face in everyday society and its outcomes will inform policy development. In addition, the research helps to advance Australia's intellectual leadership position in this area, provides research training and strengthens existing collaborative networks.
