Perceived Racist Discrimination, Coping, Stress, and Life Satisfaction
Barnes, Peter W.; Lightsey, Owen Richard, Jr.
Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development, v33 n1 p48 Jan 2005
In this study, avoidance coping and problem-solving coping (inversely) predicted stress, and stress and avoidance coping inversely predicted life satisfaction among 114 African American students. Coping did not moderate racial discrimination stress or stress-life satisfaction relationships. Fostering problem solving and reducing avoidance may help to alleviate racism-related stress and foster well-being.
