Experiences of In-Group and Out-Group Skin Tone Discrimination and Their Associations with Incident Cardiovascular Disease Among African American Adults in the Jackson Heart Study
Background African American adults face an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to other racial and/or ethnic groups in the USA. Although discrimination has been linked to this disparity, the relationship between skin tone discrimination and CVD incidence remains scarce. This study investigated the associations of in-group discrimination (from African American individuals) and out-group skin tone discrimination (from White indiv…
Racial/ethnic differences in the associations between trust in the U.S. healthcare system and willingness to test for and vaccinate against Covid-19
Trust in the U.S. healthcare system was associated with greater willingness to test for COVID-19 and receive the COVID-19 vaccine, however, trust in the U.S. healthcare system was lower among most marginalized racial/ethnic groups. Efforts to establish a more equitable healthcare system that increases trust may encourage COVID-19 preventive behaviors
Motivators and Barriers to Covid-19 Vaccination Intentions Across U.S. County-Level Barriers in the Covid-19 Vaccine Coverage Index
Future pandemic responses should consider potential ways county-level barriers shape reasons for COVID-19 vaccination
Direct and Vicarious Experiences of Covid-19-Related Racism Across Racial and Ethnic Groups in the United States
Objectives Due to stigmatization associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, certain groups were believed to be the cause of COVID-19 and thus experienced COVID-19-related racism through direct interpersonal and vicarious experiences. This study used quantitative and qualitative responses to examine whether the prevalence of experiencing these types of racism varied across racial and ethnic groups. Study Design This cross-sectional study included 5,48…
County-level barriers in the Covid-19 vaccine coverage index and their associations with willingness to receive the Covid-19 vaccine across racial/ethnic groups in the U.S
Background: County-level vaccination barriers (sociodemographic barriers, limited healthcare system resources, healthcare accessibility barriers, irregular healthcare seeking behaviors, history of low vaccination) may partially explain COVID-19 vaccination intentions among U.S. adults. This study examined whether county-level vaccination barriers varied across racial/ethnic groups in the U.S. and were associated with willingness to receive the CO…
College students' underlying perceptions of Covid-19 threat, healthcare discrimination, and healthcare system inequities associated with self-rated health across racial/ethnic groups in the U.S
Background: COVID-19-related health perceptions may differentially impact college students' stress, and in turn, their mental and physical health. This study examined racial/ethnic differences in college students' underlying perceptions of COVID-19 threat, healthcare discrimination, and U.S. healthcare system inequities and their associations with self-rated mental and physical health. Methods: Four-hundred-thirty-two university students complete…
Perceived Covid-19 threat, perceived healthcare system inequities, personal experiences of healthcare discrimination and their associations with Covid-19 preventive behavioral intentions among college…
College students are often reluctant to follow U.S. preventive guidelines to lower their risk of COVID-19 infection, despite an increased risk of transmission in college settings. Prior research suggested that college students who perceived greater COVID-19 severity and susceptibility (i.e., COVID-19 threat) were more likely to engage in COVID-19 preventive behaviors, yet there is limited research examining whether perceived COVID-19 threat, perc…
Everyday discrimination and cancer metaphor preferences
Metaphors are often used to describe cancer experiences (e.g., battle, journey). Few studies explore how social threats (e.g., discrimination) shape metaphor preferences. We examined the relationship between discrimination and preferences for cancer battle metaphors (i.e., concrete, action-based) versus journey metaphors (i.e., open-ended, reflective) and mediating effects of needs for personal significance and cognitive closure. We also stratifi…
To reappraise or not to reappraise? Emotion regulation choice and cognitive energetics
Research shows that cognitive reappraisal is an effective emotion regulation (ER) strategy that often has clear benefits. Yet, surprisingly, recent findings demonstrate that people use cognitive reappraisal less frequently than might be expected (Suri, Whittaker, & Gross, 2015). We employ cognitive energetics theory (CET) to explain this puzzling behavior. CET posits that the likelihood of launching any cognitive process is a function of two oppo…
