Prejudice And Discrimination

People who repeatedly experience prejudice and discrimination are at greater risk for developing several negative consequences, such as low self-esteem (SE). However, scholars have not explored the role of social status as an important variable for this relationship, and its consequences. The current study is aimed at investigating the role of status on the relationship between self-perceived prejudice and discrimination (SPPD), subjective well-being (SWB), SE, and the Big-Five. In a Brazilian sample (N = 1,130), we found that social status affects the network structure among low- and high-status group members. We also found that not all causal relations are equal between groups, such that the influence of SPPD, SE, and neuroticism is different depending on participants’ social status. Our results demonstrate the importance of accounting for social status when crafting psychological interventions to mitigate the negative effects of prejudice and discrimination and dismantle systems of oppression for low-status group members.

Resumen A partir de un estudio sobre la población en el centro del país en el que se emplearon las escalas de bienestar subjetivo (Anguas, 1997), autoconcepto (La Rosa, 1986), locus de control (La Rosa, Díaz y Andrade, 1986), orientación al logro (Díaz, Andrade y La Rosa, 1989), evitación al éxito (Espinosa y Reyes, 1991) y enfrentamiento a los problemas (Góngora, 1998), se procedió a investigar su validez y las diferencias por género, edad y educación en el estado de Sonora. Mediante un muestreo por cuota, edad , sexo y socialización, se seleccionaron 1000 personas pertenecientes a cinco grupos de edad: adolescentes (14-18), adolescentes tardíos (19-22), jóvenes adultos (23-30), adultos (31-38) y adultos tardíos (39-55). Los resultados evidenciaron la sensibilidad y precisión de las escalas, así como diferencias por grupo de edad, sexo, ocupación y escolaridad. Finalmente, se reafirma el papel que juega el bienestar subjetivo en la percepción de control y en los estilos de enfrentamiento que la persona manifiesta en las distintas situaciones o escenarios en los que participa.Palabras clave: identidad cultural, bienestar subjetivo, autoconcepto, locus de control, orientación al logro, evitación al éxito, enfrentamiento a los problemas, sonorense. AbstractThis paper is based on a study on the population of the central part of the country, in which the scales of subjective well-being (Anguas, 1997), self-concept (La Rosa, 1986), locus of control (La Rosa, Diaz and Andrade, 1986), orientation towards achievement (Diaz, Andrade and La Rosa, 1989), avoidance towards success (Espinosa and Reyes, 1991) and coping (Gongora, 1998) were used. Their validity by construct and the differences by gender, age, education, as well as other sociodemographic variables were analysed. Through a sampling by quota, age, gender and socialization in the state of Sonora, 1000 people belonging to 5 age groups were selected: adolescents (14-18), late adolescents (19-22), young adults (23-30), adults (31-38) and late adults (3955). The results showed scales’ sensitivity as well as some differences by age group, gender, occupation and degree of education. Finally the role played by subjective well-being in the perception of control and in the ways of coping that the person shows in the different situations or scenarios in which he or she participates was reasserted.Key words: cultural identity, subjective well-being, self-concept, locus of control, orientation towards achievement, avoidance towards success, coping, people from Sonora.

The Relationship

We examined emotional intelligence (EI) and self-esteem as mediators of the relationship between adult attachment orientations and subjective well-being (SWB). A total of 585 undergraduates from 2 Chinese universities completed measures of the 4 variables. Bootstrap mediation analysis revealed that both EI and self-esteem acted as mediators of the relationship. In addition, a serial mediating role of EI via self-esteem was found. The findings are consistent with predictions derived from attachment theory, and expand on a growing body of research findings on the association between adult attachment orientations and SWB. Implications of the findings and limitations in the study are discussed.

The Relationship

Self-concept differentiation (SCD) is a sign of fragmentation of the self rather than specialization of role identities for its robust relationship with psychological adjustment. However, little is known about the mechanisms underlying the relationship between SCD and psychological adjustment. The aim of this study was to examine the mediating role of self-consistency and congruence (SCC) in the association between SCD and psychological adjustment (psychological well-being, depression, and anxiety), and the moderating role of age in the relationship between SCD and SCC. This moderated mediation model was examined among 158 Chinese retirees (mean age = 71.12, SD = 9.13), who completed measurements regarding SCD, SCC, psychological well-being, anxiety, and depression. The results showed that SCC partially mediated the links between SCD and the indices of psychological adjustment. Furthermore, age moderated this mediation effect, which was found in mean and high-age participants, but not in low-age ones. Our findings indicate that, at different age stages, the internal mechanisms of SCD affecting psychological adaptation are not the same, and a low differentiated or highly integrated self can serve as an adaptive resource to maintain high subjective well-being of the elderly and protect them from anxiety and depression.
