“…Our study reported lower hazard ratios of 1.37 in relation to being single without children living at home in comparison to another study reporting a HR of 5.10 (Sokero et al, 2005), but our study was based on a larger dataset and more precise estimates. Also, our study identified lower education as a risk indicator for suicide attempt, particularly for men, which is in line with previous studies (Toivanen and Modin, 2011). In addition, our findings showed lower suicide HRs among individuals living in small towns/villages which is in line with previous findings suggesting higher prevalence of common mental disorders in urban compared to rural area (Paykel et al, 2003).…”

“…Lynagh et al (2011) have identified conditions under which financial incentives are more likely to lead to improvements in health: they are more effective with low SES populations; there is a dose-response relationship suggesting that the size of the cash payment is important; health behaviors that are complex need a schedule of incentives designed to both initiate and sustain changes, with careful attention given to a frequent and incremental schedule of reinforcement payments; timing is important and the reward should be provided in close proximity to the behavior to maximize its impact; and finally, negative incentives (penalties) are not as effective as positive ones (rewards).…”

This article reviews the empirical evidence that suggests that there is a solid foundation for more systematic research attention to the ways in which interventions that seek to reduce the multiple dimensions of racism can improve health and reduce disparities in health. First, research reveals that policies and procedures that seek to reduce institutional racism by improving neighborhood and educational quality and enhancing access to additional income, employment opportunities and other desirable resources can improve health. Second, research is reviewed that shows that there is the potential to improve health through interventions that can reduce cultural racism at the societal and individual level. Finally, research is presented that suggests that the adverse consequences of racism on health can be reduced through policies that maximize the health-enhancing capacities of medical care, address the social factors that initiate and sustain risk behaviors and empower individuals and communities to take control of their lives and health. Directions for future research are outlined.

“…The MSSSS has been found to predict outcomes such as psychosocial and health measures above and beyond objective measures of SES (Cundiff et al, 2011). Thus, the MSSSS likely captures important aspects of social status not accounted for by the BSMSS.…”

Neural processing of race during imitation: Self‐Similarity Versus Social Status

People preferentially imitate others who are similar to them or have high social status. Such imitative biases are thought to have evolved because they increase the efficiency of cultural acquisition. Here we focused on distinguishing between self-similarity and social status as two candidate mechanisms underlying neural responses to a person’s race during imitation. We used fMRI to measure neural responses when 20 African American (AA) and 20 European American (EA) young adults imitated AA, EA and Chinese American (CA) models and also passively observed their gestures and faces. We found that both AA and EA participants exhibited more activity in lateral fronto-parietal and visual regions when imitating AAs compared to EAs or CAs. These results suggest that racial self-similarity is not likely to modulate neural responses to race during imitation, in contrast with findings from previous neuroimaging studies of face perception and action observation. Furthermore, AA and EA participants associated AAs with lower social status than EAs or CAs, suggesting that the social status associated with different racial groups may instead modulate neural activity during imitation of individuals from those groups. Taken together, these findings suggest that neural responses to race during imitation are driven by socially-learned associations rather than self-similarity. This may reflect the adaptive role of imitation in social learning, where learning from higher-status models can be more beneficial. This study provides neural evidence consistent with evolutionary theories of cultural acquisition.
