Minoritetsstress på grund av etnisk bakgrund: en undersökning av relationerna mellan minoritetsstress, anknytningsstil, coping och allmän stress
(2022) PSPR14 20221Department of Psychology
- Abstract
- Minority stress due to ethnic background is a new area in the research field. Based on Meyer's (2003) concept of minority stress, this study aimed to construct an instrument for measuring ethnic minority stress (EMS); and study minority stress and its relation to general stress, attachment and coping to investigate whether attachment and coping can become dimensions that can be used to distinguish minority stress from general stress. This quantitative study examined the psychometric properties of EMS. Participants were 59 in a pilot with only EMS, then 54 adults aged 18 years and older (57.4% were 26-45 years,) took part in the study of EMS and its relations to other measures. The results showed that there was no association between ethnic... (More)

The results showed that there was no association between ethnic minority stress and attachment nor between ethnic minority stress and coping. There were significant relations between minority stress and ill-treatment; between valence and identification; between social network and identification, valence and integration; between appearance that is characteristic of their own ethnicity and poor treatment and minority stress; between ill-treatment and more minority identities. The results indicated that there might be limitations in applying Meyer's (2003) concept of minority stress on ethnic minority stress; importance of social network, first and foremost community with people of own ethnicity but also social network via community with people from Swedish leisure associations and good knowledge of the Swedish language. The study provides suggestions for future research and models for further investigation of opportunities to measure minority stress distinguished from general stress. (Less)

- Minoritetsstress på grund av etnisk bakgrund är ett nytt område inom forskningsfältet minoritetsstress. Det saknas ett mätinstrument för denna typ av stress. Denna studie syftade till att utifrån Meyers (2003) koncept minoritetsstress, konstruera ett mätinstrument för mätning av etnisk minoritetstress (EMS); samt se minoritetsstressens relation till allmän stress, anknytning och coping för att undersöka om anknytning och coping kan vara dimensioner som kan användas för att urskilja minoritetsstress från den allmänna stressen. Slutligen syftade uppsatsen att se relationen mellan anknytning och coping. Denna kvantitativa studie undersökte de psykometriska egenskaperna hos EMS.

- Minoritetsstress på grund av etnisk bakgrund är ett nytt område inom forskningsfältet minoritetsstress. Det saknas ett mätinstrument för denna typ av stress. Denna studie syftade till att utifrån Meyers (2003) koncept minoritetsstress, konstruera ett mätinstrument för mätning av etnisk minoritetstress (EMS); samt se minoritetsstressens relation till allmän stress, anknytning och coping för att undersöka om anknytning och coping kan vara dimensioner som kan användas för att urskilja minoritetsstress från den allmänna stressen. Slutligen syftade uppsatsen att se relationen mellan anknytning och coping. Denna kvantitativa studie undersökte de psykometriska egenskaperna hos EMS. Data är dels en pilotomgång med 59 personer som bara fyllde i EMS och sedan ett urval bestående av 54 vuxna i åldrar från 18 år och uppåt (57% var 26-45 år) låg till grund för studien där relationer till andra variabler undersöktes. Resultatet visade inget signifikant samband mellan minoritetsstress och anknytning eller coping (men tendenser noterades). Vidare fanns ett signifikant samband mellan minoritetsstress och dålig behandling; mellan valens och identifikation; mellan socialt nätverk och identifikation, valens respektive integration; mellan utseende som är karakteristiskt för sin egen etnicitet och dålig behandling respektive minoritetsstress; mellan dålig behandling och fler antal minoritetsidentiteter. På grund av resultat och tendenser till resultat diskuterades eventuella begränsningar i användandet av Meyers (2003) koncept för etnisk minoritetsstress; betydelse av socialt nätverk, först och främst gemenskap med personer av egen etnicitet men även socialt nätverk via gemenskap med personer från svenska fritidsföreningar samt goda kunskaper i svenska språket. Studien ger förslag på framtida forskning och modeller för vidare undersökning av minoritetsstress och för att särskilja den från allmän stress. (Less)
