Ethnic Discrimination in Social Media and Depressive Symptoms Among Hispanic Emerging Adult College Students
With the rise of social media and the potential for ethnic discrimination on these platforms, this study examined the relationship between depressive symptoms, social media discrimination, 'powerful others,' and emotional self-efficacy with a convenience sample of 628 Hispanic emerging adult college students from Florida ( n = 401) and Texas ( n = 227). Results from a hierarchical multiple regression model indicate that higher social media discri…
Racial differences in feelings of distress during the Covid‐19 pandemic and John Henryism Active Coping in the United States
Objective: To examine whether John Henryism Active Coping (JHAC) is a protective risk factor for distress during the COVID-19 pandemic and whether this association differs by race/ethnicity. Methods: Data were collected as part of the 2020 National Blair Center Poll. Higher scores on JHAC measured a greater behavioral predisposition to cope actively and persistently with difficult psychosocial stressors and barriers of everyday life. Results: Hig…
Racial Differences in Mental Stress–Induced Transient Endothelial Dysfunction and Its Association With Cardiovascular Outcomes
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate differences in transient endothelial dysfunction (TED) with mental stress in Black and non-Black individuals with coronary heart disease (CHD), and their potential impact on cardiovascular outcomes. METHODS: We examined 812 patients with stable CHD between June 2011 and March 2016 and followed through February 2020 at a university-affiliated hospital network. Flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) was assessed…
Child Maltreatment and Inflammatory Response to Mental Stress Among Adults Who Have Survived a Myocardial Infarction
OBJECTIVE: Experiences of child maltreatment are associated with cardiovascular risk and disease in adulthood; however, the mechanisms underlying these associations are poorly understood. METHODS: We examined associations between retrospectively self-reported exposure to child maltreatment (Early Trauma Inventory Self-Report Short Form) and inflammatory responses to mental stress among adults (mean age = 50 years) who recently had a myocardial in…
Everyday Discrimination and Mental Stress–Induced Myocardial Ischemia
OBJECTIVE: Mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia (MSIMI), a transient myocardial ischemic response to mental stress, is associated with poorer outcomes among patients with coronary heart disease and is more likely to occur among women. However, predictors of MSIMI are not well explored. The current study investigated the association between experiences of everyday discrimination and MSIMI among patients with recent myocardial ischemia and con…
Gender differences in African Americans' reactions to and coping with discrimination
The aim of this paper is to examine coping behaviors in the context of discrimination and possible gender-specific differences among a national sample of African American adults in the 2001-2003 National Survey of American Life (NSAL). Results show that in multivariable logistic regression models, African American women (vs. African American men) were less likely to accept discrimination as a fact of life but were more likely to get mad about exp…
The Relation of Psychosocial Distress With Myocardial Perfusion and Stress-Induced Myocardial Ischemia
OBJECTIVE: Mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia is a frequent phenomenon in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The link between an integrated measure of chronic psychosocial distress and mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia, and whether it differs by sex, has not been examined before. METHODS: We used latent class analysis to derive a composite measure of psychosocial distress integrating scales of depression, posttraumatic st…
Sex-Specific Association Between Coronary Artery Disease Severity and Myocardial Ischemia Induced by Mental Stress
OBJECTIVE: It is unclear whether mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia (MSIMI) is related to obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). We examined this question and contrasted results with ischemia induced by conventional stress testing (CSIMI). Because women are more susceptible to ischemia without coronary obstruction than men, we examined sex differences. METHODS: We studied 276 patients 61 years and younger with recent myocardial infarct…
Longitudinal associations between self-reported experiences of discrimination and depressive symptoms in young women and men post- myocardial infarction
Associations of neighborhood social environment attributes and physical activity among 9–11 year old children from 12 countries
