In the United States, Muslims live in a climate of heightened Islamophobia and racism. While research has indicated the negative mental health impacts of discrimination among Muslim Americans, the relationship between specific types of discrimination and mental health among 1.5- and 2nd-generation racial minority immigrant-origin Muslim American emerging adults remains unclear. This study, with a sample of 128 1.5- and 2nd-generation, racial minority, immigrant-origin Muslim American college students, explored the associations between (a) everyday experiences of discrimination, (b) campus racial climate, and (c) perceived Islamophobia in the broader culture and symptoms of depression and anxiety. We further examined whether perceived social support and ethnic identity moderated these associations. Findings revealed that everyday experiences of discrimination were significantly associated with symptoms of both depression and anxiety, and campus racial climate and broader perceptions of Islamophobia were significantly associated with anxiety but not depressive symptoms. Although stronger ethnic identity was associated with fewer depressive symptoms and higher perceived social support was associated with fewer anxiety and depressive symptoms, neither buffered against the negative effects of discrimination on mental health symptoms. The implications of the findings for culturally informed interventions and resources for Muslim American college students are discussed.

1.5 代和第二代穆斯林大学生的歧视和心理健康结果

在美国，穆斯林生活在仇视伊斯兰教和种族主义加剧的气氛中。虽然研究表明歧视对穆斯林美国人的心理健康产生负面影响，但特定类型的歧视与第 1.5 代和第 2 代少数族裔移民出身的穆斯林美国新兴成年人的心理健康之间的关系仍不清楚。这项研究以 128 名 1.5 代和第二代、少数族裔、移民裔穆斯林美国大学生为​​样本，探讨了 (a) 日常歧视经历、(b) 校园种族氛围和 (c) 感知之间的关联。更广泛的文化中的伊斯兰恐惧症以及抑郁和焦虑的症状。我们进一步研究了感知的社会支持和种族认同是否调节了这些关联。研究结果显示，日常的歧视经历与抑郁和焦虑症状显着相关，校园种族氛围和更广泛的伊斯兰恐惧症认知与焦虑显着相关，但与抑郁症状无关。尽管更强的种族认同与更少的抑郁症状相关，更高的感知社会支持与更少的焦虑和抑郁症状相关，但这两者都无法缓冲歧视对心理健康症状的负面影响。讨论了研究结果对美国穆斯林大学生的文化干预措施和资源的影响。
