Racial/ethnic discrimination and well-being during adolescence: A meta-analytic review.

Benner, A. D., Wang, Y., Shen, Y., Boyle, A. E., Polk, R., & Cheng, Y.-P. (2018). Racial/ethnic discrimination and well-being during adolescence: A meta-analytic review. American Psychologist, 73(7), 855–883. https://doi.org/10.1037/amp0000204

Abstract
This meta-analytic study systematically investigates the relations between perceived racial/ethnic discrimination and socioemotional distress, academics, and risky health behaviors during adolescence, and potential variation in these relations. The study included 214 peer-reviewed articles, theses, and dissertations, with 489 unique effect sizes on 91,338 unique adolescents. Random-effects meta-analyses across 11 separate indicators of well-being identified significant detrimental effects. Greater perceptions of racial/ethnic discrimination were linked to more depressive and internalizing symptoms; greater psychological distress; poorer self-esteem; lower academic achievement and engagement; less academic motivation; greater engagement in externalizing behaviors, risky sexual behaviors, and substance use; and more associations with deviant peers. Metaregression and subgroup analyses indicated differences by race/ethnicity, Gender × Race/Ethnicity interactions, developmental stage, timing of retrospective measurement of discrimination, and country. Overall, this study highlights the pernicious effects of racial/ethnic discrimination for adolescents across developmental domains and suggests who is potentially at greater risk.

Evidence of Heterogeneity in Effect Sizes
Racial/ethnic discrimination tended to pose a greater risk for Asian-descent and Latino youth’s socioemotional well-being compared to African-descent but Latino youth’s academics compared to those of African descent. These differential effects are consistent with other scholarship on mean racial/ethnic differences. For example, prior studies have documented greater depressive symptoms and lower self-esteem among Asian Americans compared to Latinos, African Americans, and Whites (Brown, Meadows, & Elder, 2007; Twenge & Crocker, 2002). Latinos also tend to exhibit higher levels of depression than their White and African American peers (Harris, Gordon-Larsen, Chantala, & Udry, 2006; Twenge & Nolen-Hoeksema, 2002) and are more likely to drop out of secondary school and less likely to attain a Bachelor’s degree or higher versus their White, Asian American, and African American peers (Kena et al., 2015). Our study findings suggest that these mean differences in socioemotional adjustment (particularly challenging for youth of Asian and Latino descent) and academics (particularly challenging for Latino youth) may be driven, at least in part, by experiences of discrimination. Future research, however, is needed to determine whether Latino and Asian American youth are experiencing similar or greater levels of discrimination than their African American peers to support this conclusion. The weaker findings for adolescents of African descent may also reflect parents’ socialization efforts, as African American families are more likely to employ socialization strategies that prepare their children for the bias they may face in multiple contexts of their daily lives (Else-Quest & Morse, 2015). It is also possible that stronger effects for African American youth may be observed for other developmental domains not assessed in the current meta-analysis, such as effects of physical health. Prior meta-analyses have documented stronger effects in the link between discrimination and hypertension for African American adults (Dolezsar et al., 2014), and it is possible that cardiovascular risk factors in adolescence (e.g., overweight status, blood pressure) may be similarly more susceptible to discrimination in African American adolescent populations.

This is the conclusion from the study you cited. DID you happen to read it?

 

“Summary and Conclusions

The findings reported in our meta-analysis clearly illustrate the pernicious effects of racial/ethnic discrimination across multiple domains of adolescents’ health and well-being, including their mental health, their engagement in risky health behaviors, and their educational success. The psychological, behavioral, and academic burdens posed by racial/ethnic discrimination during adolescence, coupled with evidence that experiences of discrimination persist across the life course for persons of color, point to discrimination as a clear contributor to the racial/ethnic health disparities observed for African American, Latino, and Native American populations compared to their White counterparts (Mays et al., 2007; Williams & Sternthal, 2010). There is some evidence for variation of effects by individual and study characteristics (i.e., race/ethnicity, race/ethnicity-by-gender, developmental period, retrospective timing, country), but much more work is needed to clearly elucidate who is most at risk for racial/ethnic discrimination and what contexts buffer or exacerbate such risks.

There is, however, comprehensive evidence of the far-reaching effects of racial/ethnic discrimination for youth, and as such, future scholarship must also begin investigating intervention and prevention efforts. To date, the intervention science is quite limited but suggests benefits of self-affirmation activities that reduce stereotype threat responses (Bowen, Wegmann, & Webber, 2013; Cohen, Garcia, Apfel, & Master, 2006) and family-centered interventions that give children and adolescents tools for dealing with experiences of discrimination (Brody et al., 2012). Yet in addition to ameliorating the effects of racial/ethnic discrimination at the individual level, we must also work toward preventing the occurrence of discriminatory treatment on a larger scale. How to combat the prejudicial and stereotype views held by adult authority figures and peers is an open question. In their review of prejudice reduction programs, Paluck and Green (2009) identify potential in prevention efforts that facilitate more inter-group contact and cooperation. Although the costs of such programs are likely high, the economic and social costs of continuing to ignore adolescents’ experiences of racial/ethnic discrimination is even higher.”

Let me make a statement. There’s a perception that blacks are more violent and criminal than other races. Number 1: Is this true? Number 2: If it is true, why?

[f8ta1ity54]

Who has this perception? You?

Are you asking if they are inherently more violent and disposed to criminality?

I'd say they are per capita.  Is that incorrect?

Well I feel like I need to clarify because of the quality of posters on here.

Yes African americans commit crime at a higher rate compared to whites.

However African americans are disproportionately more likely to be poor. Poor people commit the most crime.

First of all, learn to format your text. Second, their speculation as to why doesn't change the fact that this is what they found. And you know what the hilarious part is? The section you highlighted in red asserts that a possible cause is that the parents of African-American children are programming them to look for biases in society which means their frame of reference will incline them to see any slight as a matter of racism above any other cause. Wow, you really are a dim bulb. We could also go into how Affirmative Action laws negatively affect Caucasians and Asians but then you'd get spanked on that one too.

First of all, eat a dick.

Second, since there is less socioemotional problems with African Americans because their parents prepare them for the "far-reaching" racism/discrimination by "authority figures" that the paper explicitly says exists, this somehow means no system racism? This paper does not imply that african americans "look for biases in society which means their frame of reference will incline them to see any slight as a matter of racism above any other cause."

Other races are less prepared for racism, and this somehow disproves systemic bias?

So the paper proves that blacks have learned to cope with discrimination and racism better because they are trained by parents. The same people who have dealt with discrimination for generations. How exactly does this disprove systemic racism?

I''d also like to point out that 10% of the data used in this study comes from other countries.

 

 

[f8ta1ity54]

I'd also like to point out that not only does @SackMan518 bring up a study that doesn't help his case, but he also believes that this one study disproves an entire thread I made with at least 20 sources backed by enormous studies and data.

WOW. Classic.
