Abstract

The article focuses on a study examining the impact of ethnic identity on mental health outcomes related to discrimination among Arab American adults in Southeast Michigan. The research involved 286 respondents who completed a health attitudes and behaviors survey, utilizing structural equation modeling to analyze the moderating effects of ethnic identity on the relationship between discrimination and mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. Findings indicated that ethnic identity served as a protective factor, particularly for female participants, suggesting that feelings of belonging and social support may contribute to this buffering effect. The study advocates for future mental health interventions to incorporate ethnic identity as a protective feature. [Extracted from the article]
