Rosanna Maletta (Department of Psychology, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK) presented a study to understand how discrimination could affect mental health. Indeed, repeated discrimination could result in a build-up of resilience, or a cumulative negative effect could develop. Data from the UK Household Longitudinal Study waves 2015–20 were used. In the cohort of 3863 people, 24% of participants reported discrimination at one timepoint, and 16% reported more than one occurrence. Those who had experienced discrimination had worse mental health outcomes than those who had not, and was worse for those with more than one occurrence. Those more at risk of mental health problems from discrimination exposure were more likely to be female, young adults, in the lowest income group, or have had baseline mental health problems. These findings suggest that interventions to tackle discrimination and support for those affected should be prioritised.

Rosanna Maletta（英国利物浦利物浦大学心理学系）提出了一项研究，以了解歧视如何影响心理健康。事实上，反复的歧视可能会导致复原力的积累，或者可能会产生累积的负面影响。使用了来自 2015-20 年英国家庭纵向研究波次的数据。在 3863 人的队列中，24% 的参与者报告在一个时间点受到歧视，16% 的参与者报告不止一次发生。那些经历过歧视的人比没有经历过的人心理健康结果更差，而且那些发生过不止一次的人更糟。那些因受到歧视而更有可能出现心理健康问题的人更有可能是女性、年轻人、最低收入群体或有基线心理健康问题的人。这些发现表明，应优先考虑解决歧视和对受影响者的支持的干预措施。
