  • The relationships between major lifetime discrimination, everyday discrimination, and mental health in three racial and ethnic groups of older adults

    Black older adults experience the greatest number of discriminative events, but weaker associated mental health outcomes.

In Study 2, the higher‐hope males, and not females, as measured by both trait and state hope ( Snyder, Sympson et al., 1996 ), recognized the onset of the pain thres…
