DESCRIPTION (provided by candidate): The proposed research investigates the relationship between perceived prejudice and well being among members of stigmatized groups, and processes that mediate and moderate this relationship. The studies in this proposal test a model of adjustment to perceived prejudice that integrates theory on how people adjust to stress in general (Lazarus & Folkman, 1986; Major, Richards, Cooper, Cozzarelli, & Zubek, 1998). This model contends that the personal resources stigmatized people have to draw upon in the face of prejudice (i.e., optimistic beliefs) affect their appraisals of perceived prejudice (how harmful it is and their coping expectancies), which in turn affect the coping strategies that are utilized to deal with perceived prejudice. These strategies, in turn, ultimately affect how stigmatized people adjust when faced with prejudice. The first five studies examine the relationship between optimism and adjustment to prejudice and further address whether cognitive appraisals mediate that relationship. Two surveys test the entire model of adjustment to perceived prejudice using structural equation modeling. The final two experiments examine the effects of specific coping strategies on adjustment to perceived prejudice. This research is important because it will provide insight into how stigmatized people become resilient to the stresses posed by perceptions of prejudice.

描述（由候选人提供）：拟议的研究调查了 感知的偏见与福祉之间的关系 污名化的群体以及调解和调节这种关系的过程。 该提案中的研究测试了对感知偏见的调整模型 这整合了人们如何适应压力的理论（拉撒路＆ 福克曼，1986年；少校，理查兹，库珀，Cozzarelli和Zubek，1998年）。这个模型 争辩说，个人资源污名化的人必须借鉴 偏见的面孔（即乐观的信念）影响了他们对 感知到的偏见（这是多么有害和应付期望），这在 转弯会影响用于处理感知的应对策略 偏见。这些策略反过来最终会影响人们的污名化 面对偏见时进行调整。前五项研究检查了 乐观与对偏见的调整之间的关系与进一步解决 认知评估是否调解这种关系。两次调查测试 使用结构方程的整个对感知偏见的调整模型 造型。最后两个实验检查了特定应对的影响 调整对感知偏见的策略。这项研究很重要 因为它将提供有关被污名化的人如何韧性的洞察力 对偏见的看法所带来的压力。
