Interactional discrimination partly explains why Muslim women are more depressed than average: integrating survey data with field experiments in the study of minority stress

Résumé

Hundreds of studies indicate a robust correlation between perceived discrimination and emotional distress within stigmatized groups. However, about 80% of the related samples are from the US, and support for a within-group correlation is not yet evidence that discrimination contributes to disparities between groups. The article uses the minority stress model to examine the role of discrimination in European Muslim's surplus depression. The novel idea of interactional discrimination is proposed to integrate under an explicit and positive (vs. residual) concept some of the concrete forms of discriminatory behavior that are generally acknowledged to have a negative impact on mental health. Further, to measure interactional discrimination not only as a perception but also as a "distal" or objective event in the environment, the article supplements a study based on epidemiological survey data (European Social Suvery, n=18,021) with two field experiments (n=370) involving live interactions with confederates in real-life situations.
