DESCRIPTION (provided by candidate): The proposed research investigates the relationship between perceived prejudice and well being among members of stigmatized groups, and processes that mediate and moderate this relationship. The studies in this proposal test a model of adjustment to perceived prejudice that integrates theory on how people adjust to stress in general (Lazarus & Folkman, 1986; Major, Richards, Cooper, Cozzarelli, & Zubek, 1998). This model contends that the personal resources stigmatized people have to draw upon in the face of prejudice (i.e., optimistic beliefs) affect their appraisals of perceived prejudice (how harmful it is and their coping expectancies), which in turn affect the coping strategies that are utilized to deal with perceived prejudice. These strategies, in turn, ultimately affect how stigmatized people adjust when faced with prejudice. The first five studies examine the relationship between optimism and adjustment to prejudice and further address whether cognitive appraisals mediate that relationship. Two surveys test the entire model of adjustment to perceived prejudice using structural equation modeling. The final two experiments examine the effects of specific coping strategies on adjustment to perceived prejudice. This research is important because it will provide insight into how stigmatized people become resilient to the stresses posed by perceptions of prejudice.

描述（由候选人提供）：拟议的研究调查了 群体成员中感知到的偏见与幸福感之间的关系 污名化的群体，以及调解和缓和这种关系的过程。 本提案中的研究测试了一种适应感知偏见的模型 整合了人们如何适应一般压力的理论（Lazarus & 福克曼，1986；梅杰、理查兹、库珀、科扎里利和祖贝克，1998）。这个型号 认为被污名化的人们必须利用的个人资源 偏见（即乐观信念）的面貌会影响他们对事物的评价 感知到的偏见（它的危害有多大以及他们的应对预期）， 反过来影响用于处理感知的应对策略 偏见。这些策略反过来最终会影响人们如何受到污名化 面对偏见时要调整。前五项研究考察了 乐观与调整偏见之间的关系并进一步解决 认知评估是否调节这种关系。两项调查测试了 使用结构方程调整感知偏见的整个模型 造型。最后两个实验检验了特定应对措施的效果 调整感知偏见的策略。这项研究很重要 因为它将让我们深入了解遭受污名化的人们如何变得有弹性 偏见观念带来的压力。
