Abstract

Objectives: By studying Mainland Chinese immigrant women who married Hong Kong men, this study examined the association between their perceived discrimination and psychological distress after the 2019-2020 social movement in Hong Kong. Additionally, this study examined the indirect effects of individual coping strategies (tolerance of uncertainty) and couples' coping strategies (common dyadic coping), guided by the cultural and developmental psychopathology framework.

Method: Ninety-nine Mainland Chinese immigrant women who married Hong Kong men participated in this cross-sectional survey.

Results: We found a positive association between perceived discrimination and psychological distress (r = .50, p < .01). Reduced uncertainty tolerance and low levels of common dyadic coping both showed indirect effects on the discrimination-psychological distress association. Tolerance of uncertainty had a larger indirect effect than common dyadic coping.

Conclusions: Focusing on the psychological adjustment of immigrant women facing discrimination, our findings underscore the importance of preserving individual- and couple-level resources. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

香港中国内地移民妇女的歧视感和心理困扰：对不确定性的容忍度和共同二元应对方式的间接影响。

研究目的通过研究与香港男性结婚的中国大陆移民女性，本研究探讨了她们在2019-2020年香港社会运动后感知到的歧视与心理困扰之间的关联。此外，本研究还以文化和发展心理病理学框架为指导，探讨了个人应对策略（不确定性容忍度）和夫妻应对策略（共同的二元应对）的间接影响：99名与香港男性结婚的中国大陆移民女性参与了这项横断面调查：我们发现，感知到的歧视与心理困扰之间存在正相关（r = .50，p < .01）。不确定性容忍度的降低和低水平的夫妻共同应对都对歧视与心理困扰之间的联系产生了间接影响。对不确定性的容忍度的间接影响大于共同的二元应对方式：我们的研究结果侧重于面临歧视的移民妇女的心理调整，强调了保护个人和夫妻层面资源的重要性。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有）。
