Abstract

Background and hypothesis: The social defeat hypothesis posits that exclusion and discrimination experienced by socially marginalized populations predict psychotic experiences (PEs), particularly when perceived as defeatist. However, its emphasis on individual-level factors may obscure the role of structural and systemic influences. This is significant for the US context, given US histories of pronounced structural racism and economic inequality. This study extends the social defeat hypothesis by examining established indicators of social defeat, along with US-specific factors that capture structural influences on individuals' perceptions of discrimination and exclusion as defeatist.

Design: Data from the National Survey of Poly-victimization and Mental Health (N = 1 584) were analyzed to investigate cross-sectional associations between individual-level and structural indicators of marginalization and social defeat and self-reported PEs among young adults.

Study results: BIPOC participants had 60% higher odds of reporting PEs in the past year (OR = 1.60; 95% CI, 1.27-2.03; P = .003). Furthermore, participants with at least 1 experience of police violence in the past year have 52% higher odds of reporting PEs (OR = 1.52; 95% CI, 1.16-2.00; P = .003). Several additional indicators were associated with increased odds of PE, including race (non-White compared to White), high-frequency substance use, everyday discrimination, exposure to childhood abuse or bullying.

Conclusions: Findings align with European social defeat literature, confirming the relevance of the hypothesis in the US context. However, prominence of structural factors (racism, police violence) suggests that the social defeat hypothesis should incorporate systemic influences, emphasizing the need for interventions addressing societal contributors to psychosis risk.

美国的社会失败与精神病:复制与批判性的再概念化。
背景和假设:社会失败假说认为,社会边缘人群所经历的排斥和歧视预示着精神病经历(pe),特别是当被视为失败主义者时。然而,它强调个人层面的因素可能会掩盖结构性和系统性影响的作用。鉴于美国历史上存在着明显的结构性种族主义和经济不平等,这对美国的背景来说意义重大。本研究通过考察社会失败的既定指标,以及美国特有的因素,扩展了社会失败假说,这些因素捕捉到了个人对歧视和排斥作为失败主义者的看法的结构性影响。设计:分析来自全国多重受害和心理健康调查(N = 1584)的数据,以调查年轻人中边缘化和社会失败的个人水平和结构指标与自我报告的pe之间的横断面关联。研究结果:BIPOC参与者在过去一年中报告pe的几率高出60% (OR = 1.60;95% ci, 1.27-2.03;p = .003)。此外,在过去一年中至少经历过一次警察暴力的参与者报告pe的几率高出52% (OR = 1.52;95% ci, 1.16-2.00;p = .003)。其他一些指标与PE的增加有关,包括种族(非白人与白人相比),高频物质使用,日常歧视,童年虐待或欺凌的暴露。结论:研究结果与欧洲社会失败文献一致,证实了该假设在美国背景下的相关性。然而,结构性因素(种族主义、警察暴力)的突出表明,社会失败假说应纳入系统性影响,强调需要采取干预措施,解决导致精神病风险的社会因素。

期刊介绍: Schizophrenia Bulletin seeks to review recent developments and empirically based hypotheses regarding the etiology and treatment of schizophrenia. We view the field as broad and deep, and will publish new knowledge ranging from the molecular basis to social and cultural factors. We will give new emphasis to translational reports which simultaneously highlight basic neurobiological mechanisms and clinical manifestations. Some of the Bulletin content is invited as special features or manuscripts organized as a theme by special guest editors. Most pages of the Bulletin are devoted to unsolicited manuscripts of high quality that report original data or where we can provide a special venue for a major study or workshop report. Supplement issues are sometimes provided for manuscripts reporting from a recent conference.
