Abstract

This research investigates the harmful consequences of discrimination on self-esteem and examines the coping options of individuals belonging to several stigmatized groups (i.e., unemployed older women) within the multiple jeopardy perspective. Our sample comprised 420 individuals selected by age, gender and professional status. We tested whether the positive and negative links between discrimination and psychological distress induced by discrimination, would vary according to the number of disadvantaged categories individuals belong to. An analysis of the mediating role of some coping options was also conducted. Overall, the results support most of our hypotheses and suggest that the assumed impact of perceived discrimination on psychological outcome increase with the cumulation of discriminations. We also found that, among the various coping options used by individuals in our sample, commitment, but not age-group identification, mediated the links between the cumulated discrimination and self-esteem. The discussion addresses issues related to workplace discrimination in light of the multiple jeopardy perspective.

多重危险环境中的个人应对策略：失业老年妇女的案例。

本研究调查了歧视对自尊造成的有害影响，并从多重危险的角度研究了属于几个被鄙视群体（即失业的老年妇女）的个人的应对选择。我们的样本包括根据年龄、性别和职业状况选出的 420 人。我们测试了歧视与歧视引起的心理困扰之间的正负联系是否会因个人所属的弱势类别数量而有所不同。我们还对一些应对方案的中介作用进行了分析。总体而言，结果支持了我们的大部分假设，并表明感知到的歧视对心理结果的假定影响会随着歧视的累积而增加。我们还发现，在样本中个人使用的各种应对方案中，承诺（而非年龄组认同）在累积歧视和自尊之间起到了中介作用。讨论从多重危险的角度探讨了与工作场所歧视有关的问题。
