Understanding the Influence of Income Inequality and Violent Crime on Police Fatal Shootings in U.S. Counties
Exploring the association between income inequality, racial composition, and fatal police shootings in U.S. counties (2015–2022)
Exploring the relationship between depressive symptoms, allostatic load, and income inequality in US adults aged 20 and older
This study contributes to the understanding of the association between physiological stress, allostatic load and PIR on a national scale. It underscores the importance of recognizing allostatic load as a potential target for interventions aimed at preventing or mitigating depressive symptoms in the population
Marginalization-related diminished returns of education level on self-rated physical and mental health among immigrants
Black Americans' Diminished Health Returns of Professional Occupations
Introduction Occupational classes exert substantial effects on both subjective and objective health outcomes. However, it remains unclear whether the health impact of similar occupational classes varies across racial groups among middle-aged and older adults in the United States. Aim Grounded in the theory of Minorities' Diminished Returns (MDRs), which posits that health benefits from resources such as employment are systematically weaker for ra…
Black-White differences in perceived lifetime discrimination by education and income in the Midus Study in the U.S
There is growing evidence on the negative effects of perceived discrimination on health outcomes and their interactions with indicators of socioeconomic status. However, less has been studied on whether income and education lead individuals of a different race to encounter different discriminatory experiences in their lifetime. Using data from the national survey of the Midlife Development in the United States—MIDUS 1 (1995-1996) and MIDUS Refres…
Neighbourhood tobacco retail access and tobacco use susceptibility in young adolescents in urban India
Efforts to reduce neighbourhood tobacco retail access in India may reduce cognitive tobacco use risk factors in young adolescents. The frequency of tobacco retailer visits and perceived tobacco retailer density increased cognitive risks, though there were some exceptions in Kolkata that further research may explain
Money Protects White but Not African American Men against Discrimination
To compare African American (AA) and non-Hispanic White men living in same residential areas for the associations between educational attainment and household income with perceived discrimination (PD). The National Survey of American Life (NSAL), a nationally representative study, included 1643 men who were either African American ( n = 1271) or non-Hispanic White ( n = 372). We compared the associations between the two race groups using linear r…
Longitudinal Analysis of Psychosocial Stressors and Body Mass Index in Middle-Aged and Older Adults in the United States
Different sources of stress may be risk factors to weight gain and affect BMI in adults. White and female adults may be more susceptible to the obesogenic effects of stressors. Reducing exposure to stress may help reduce the burden of high BMI among middle-aged and older adults
Parental Education and Spanking of American Children
Diminished returns of parental educational attainment in terms of reducing children's exposure to trauma and stress may be a mechanism that contributes to racial health disparities, particularly poor health of children in highly educated Black families. That is a smaller protective effect of parental education on reducing undesired exposures for Black than White children may be one of the mechanisms that may explain why children develop worse tha…
Educational mobility and telomere length in middle-aged and older adults
Critical period, social mobility, and social accumulation are three hypotheses that may explain how educational mobility impacts health. Thus far, there is little evidence on how these processes are associated with biological aging as measured by telomere length. Using cross-sectional data from the 2008 Health and Retirement Study, we examined the association between educational mobility (parental education and contemporaneous education) and telo…
Diminished Return of Employment on Ever Smoking Among Hispanic Whites in Los Angeles
Purpose: According to the Minorities' Diminished Return (MDR) theory, socioeconomic status (SES) indicators such as employment status produce smaller tangible outcomes for racial and ethnic minority groups, however, very limited information exists on such diminished returns for Hispanics. To test whether MDR also holds for the social patterning of smoking behaviors among white adults, this study explored ethnic differences in the association betw…
“I think that’s all a lie…I think It’s genocide”
The findings from this exploratory study suggest some Black youth in Flint have difficulty coping with the FWC. Those who perceive it through a racial frame attribute the crisis to racism. They feel distressed about this and other traumas (eg, failure to address high rates of crime) they perceived as racism-related. Future research should examine the implications for specific mental health outcomes among youth
The Protective Effects of Social Support and Engagement Coping Strategy on the Relationship Between Perceived Discrimination and Psychological Distress Among Chinese Migrant Children
This study was aimed to figure out whether perceived stress mediates the relationship between perceived discrimination and psychological distress among Chinese migrant children and whether social support and engagement coping moderate the detrimental effects of perceived discrimination on psychological distress. The sample comprised 813 middle-school students (482 migrant children, 331 non-migrant children) from three schools in Southwest China. …
Unequal Gain of Equal Resources across Racial Groups
The health effects of economic resources (eg, education, employment, and living place) and psychological assets (eg, self-efficacy, perceived control over life, anger control, and emotions) are well-known. This article summarizes the results of a growing body of evidence documenting Blacks' diminished return, defined as a systematically smaller health gain from economic resources and psychological assets for Blacks in comparison to Whites. Due to…
Perceived Neighborhood Safety Better Predicts Risk of Mortality for Whites than Blacks
General Self-Efficacy and Mortality in the USA; Racial Differences
Number of Chronic Medical Conditions Fully Mediates the Effects of Race on Mortality; 25-Year Follow-Up of a Nationally Representative Sample of Americans
Residual Effects of Restless Sleep over Depressive Symptoms on Chronic Medical Conditions
Religious Social Support, Discrimination, and Psychiatric Disorders Among Black Adolescents
You Do What You See
African American boys are more likely than same-aged counterparts to live in disadvantaged neighborhoods characterized by exposure to physical violence, lower socioeconomic status, poor parent education, and acts of violence. The current study used structural equation modeling to test the associations between witnessing violence, peer and parent expectations, peer behaviors, self-efficacy to avoid violence, and violent behavior as the outcome. Re…
