“…Further, research has found lower rates of expression of anger by African Americans, especially among older individuals who feel less "anger privilege" and are more likely to be sanctioned when expressing anger. 28 Instances of RREM may be rarer among these residents because African Americans, especially older individuals, 29,30 may more often suppress feelings of anger.

Background: Resident-to-resident elder mistreatment (RREM) in nursing homes has serious physical and psychological consequences, but factors related to RREM occurrence remain unclear. This study identifies individual and environmental characteristics associated with involvement in RREM episodes. Methods:The design was an observational study carried out in five urban and five suburban New York state nursing homes randomly selected on the basis of size and location. The sample consisted of 2011 residents in 10 facilities; 83% of facilities and 84% of eligible residents participated. RREM and potential correlates were identified through resident interviews, staff interviews, shift coupons, observation, chart review, and accident or incident reports. Results: A multivariate analysis controlling for relevant covariates found that individuals involved in RREM incidents exhibit milder dementia, show behavioral symptoms, and are less functionally impaired. Although special care units (SCU) for dementia have benefits for residents, one potential hazard for SCU residents is elevated risk for RREM. Conclusions: Interventions to prevent and intervene in RREM incidents are greatly needed. The correlates identified in this research point to the need for targeted interventions, specifically for residents with milder impairment and with behavioral symptoms and individuals in SCUs.

“…Though depression, anxiety, and anger have different social distributions when itcomes to race (Barnes and Bates 2017), we do not expect differential theoretical associations between vicarious discrimination and each outcome to emerge. We base this prediction on an extensive parallel literature focused on personal discrimination, which has found this stressor to be associated with higher depression (Brown et al 2000; Hudson et al 2016), anger (Magee and Louie 2016; Pittman 2011), and anxiety (Banks, Kohn-Wood, and Spencer 2006). On the basis of this prior work on personal discrimination, we also do not hypothesize different associations between vicarious discrimination and each indicator of mental health, given that perceived injustice and stressors related to discrimination likely underlie each association.…”

Does hearing about or witnessing someone else experience discrimination harm individuals’ mental health? Using data from the Nashville Stress and Health Study, we answer this question by examining how vicarious discrimination impacts depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and anger among black Americans. We also test whether mastery and self-esteem moderate the association between vicarious discrimination and each mental health outcome. Findings indicate experiencing vicarious discrimination via a family member has a similar impact on mental health to personally experiencing discrimination. While experiencing vicarious discrimination via a close friend also increased mental health problems, it appeared to be less harmful than personally experiencing discrimination. Moreover, self-esteem moderated the association between vicarious discrimination via a family member and via a close friend and mental health, while mastery did not. This study provides new insights into ways vicarious discrimination impacts health as well as the role that psychosocial resources play in shaping this relationship.

“…Such stressors account for a substantial portion of variation in emotional functioning across groups. One chronic stressor that is a significant source of stress is the perception of ethnic/racial discrimination (Kessler et al 1999; Lee and Bierman 2018; Mabry and Kiecolt 2005; Magee and Louie 2016). This type of discrimination is a minority group member’s subjective perception of unfair treatment based on racial or ethnic prejudice, which may be apparent at institutional, cultural, or individual levels (Jackson, Brown, and Kirby 1998).…”

This study examines if the association between length of residence and mental health—as measured by depression—of immigrants post-arrival in the host country is altered by visible-minority status and gender among a sample of immigrants to Toronto, Canada, as compared to the native-born. The analytic sample excluded refugees. Of the 1,911 adults included, 23 percent were foreign-born. Adjusted multivariate results indicate a significant and positive association between depression and length of residence in the host country—but only among visible-minority immigrant men as compared to Canadian-born men. The positive association between depression and length of residence among visible-minority immigrant men is found to be due to a parallel rise in perceived discrimination and the experience of anger with tenure in the host country.
