Perceived discrimination based on the symptoms of covid-19, mental health, and emotional responses–the international online COVISTRESS survey

Background Despite the potential detrimental consequences for individuals’ health and discrimination from covid-19 symptoms, the outcomes have received little attention. This study examines the relationships between having personally experienced discrimination based on the symptoms of covid-19 (during the first wave of the pandemic), mental health, and emotional responses (anger and sadness). It was predicted that covid-19 discrimination would be positively related to poor mental health and that this relationship would be mediated by the emotions of anger and sadness. Methods The study was conducted using an online questionnaire from January to June 2020 (the Covistress network; including 44 countries). Participants were extracted from the COVISTRESS database (Ntotal = 280) with about a half declaring having been discriminated due to covid-19 symptoms (N = 135). Discriminated participants were compared to non-discriminated participants using ANOVA. A mediation analysis was conducted to examine the indirect effect of emotional responses and the relationships between perceived discrimination and self-reported mental health. Results The results indicated that individuals who experienced discrimination based on the symptoms of covid-19 had poorer mental health and experienced more anger and sadness. The relationship between covid-19 personal discrimination and mental health disappeared when the emotions of anger and sadness were statistically controlled for. The indirect effects for both anger and sadness were statistically significant. Discussion This study suggests that the covid-19 pandemic may have generated discriminatory behaviors toward those suspected of having symptoms and that this is related to poorer mental health via anger and sadness.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

La laïcité et les préjugés envers les minorités maghrébines

International audienceLa nouvelle laïcité est définie par la croyance que la religion doit être uneaffaire totalement privée et s’éloigne de la définition historique prônant laliberté de conscience et la garantie du libre exercice des cultes pour tous(Baubérot, 2012). Des travaux corrélationnels récents ont montré que cettenouvelle conception était positivement reliée aux préjugés envers lesminorités ethniques et religieuses et qu’elle devenait une norme culturelle deplus en plus importante en France (Kamiejski et al. , 2012). Nos travauxproposent d’examiner ce lien de façon expérimentale afin de vérifier dansquelle mesure le climat social actuel peut légitimer l’exercice de pressionnormative à l’encontre des personnes d’origine maghrébine. Dans cetteperspective, quatre études ont été menées en France auprès de plus de 600participants ayant des préjugés plus ou moins élevés envers les personnesd’origine maghrébine. Les participants devaient évaluer et rapporter leurintention d’exercer de la pression normative sur une cible d’originemaghrébine adoptant ou non une attitude allant à l’encontre de la nouvellelaïcité (Etudes 1, 2, 3) et sur une cible d’origine musulmane ou catholiqueadoptant une attitude allant à l’encontre de la laïcité (Etude 4). Les résultatsdes trois premières études montrent que les personnes ayant de forts préjugésévaluent plus négativement et exercent plus de pression normative àl’encontre de la cible contre-normative que de la cible normative. Parailleurs, les résultats de l’étude 4 montrent que les personnes à forts préjugésévaluent plus négativement et exercent plus de pression à l’encontre d’unecible musulmane qu’à l’encontre d’une cible catholique. Ces premiersrésultats soutiennent l’idée que la laïcité est susceptible d’être mobilisée afinde légitimer des attitudes préjudiciables envers les personnes d’originemaghrébine par les personnes ayant initialement de forts préjugés
