racism exposure

mental health

(racism exposure relates to mental health)

18

level 1 components

  1. ERI
  2. ERS
  3. religiosity/spirituality
  4. family/parenting
19
Q

what future directions does neblett identify?

  2. move past psychological symptoms > psychopathology and diagnosis
  3. more attention to sociopolitical context
  4. multiple stressors (ie. study racism in context of poverty)
  5. intersectionality
  6. multiple systems and levels of oppression (different isms, structural & cultural levels)
  7. more investigation of mediators - both listed and otherwise
20
Q

what other model that we’ve examined before looks at resilience factors?

A

Cynthia Garcia Croll’s Integrative Model

  1. promoting/inhibiting environments
    (schools, neighbourhoods etc.)
  2. adaptive culture
    (traditions, cultural legacies, histories, migration, acculturation, current context)
  3. child characteristics
    (temperament, physical characteristics)
  4. family
    (structure & roles, fam values, beliefs, goals, racial socialization, socio-economic status)
21
Q

PVEST stands for…

A

phenomenological variant of ecological systems theory

INTERSECTING SYSTEMS that impact people and focus on how people MAKE SENSE and MEANING out of those experiences

22
Q

approach taken by PVEST

A

phenomenological: how individual PERCEIVES and MAKES SENSE of an experience

adding in personal meaning making

we’re all enveloped in our own unique microsystems - parents, teachers, schools, work, neighbours, cities, cultural background, geo location, chrono-system ie. covid times

23
Q

PVEST’s 5 factors

A

5 factors which are all related to each other bidirectionally and which all influence life stage outcomes (health, relationships etc)

  1. risk contributions
  2. stress engagement
  3. reactive coping methods
  4. stable coping: responses, emergent identities
  5. lifestage outcomes: coping products
24
Q

PVEST - risk contributors - we have risk and promotive/protective factors that…

A

we have RISK and PROTECTIVE/PROMOTIVE factors that contribute to a NET VULNERABILITY LEVEL

involved in self-appraisal processes: social-cognition dependent (in response to stereotypes & biases)

25
Q

PVEST - specific risk contributors

A
  1. RACE
    (ethnicity/colour bias)
  2. SES
    (poverty, school/neighbourhood quality, family dynamics)
  3. BIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS (temperament, physiological processes)
  4. PHYSICAL STATUS
    (early maturing)
  5. SEX
    (female ie. perceptions of femininity/male ie. need for instrumentality)
26
Q

PVEST - stress engagement

A

stressors you are exposed to/engaged with

intermediate experiences of stress
a) neighbourhood dangers
b) social supports
c) daily hassles

27
Q

PVEST - stress engagement has bidirectional relationship with…

A

our net vulnerability level

our net vulnerability level influences the type/amounts of stressors we’re exposed to

and the stressors we’re exposed to influence our net vulnerability levels

28
Q

PVEST - reactive coping methods - are how you react…

A

how you react in the MOMENT to stressors

based on your NET VULNERABILITY and your STRESS ENGAGEMENT
(ie. maybe girls and boys cope differently, maybe rich people cope differently)

maladaptive versus adaptive

29
Q

PVEST - reactive coping methods specifics

A

corrective problem solving strategies

  1. maladaptive solutions
  2. adaptive solutions
30
Q

PVEST - MALADAPTIVE reactive coping methods

A

a) exaggerated (“male bravado”) sex role orientation

b) “reactive” ethnocentrism

c) personal (“social superiority”) orientation

31
Q

PVEST - ADAPTIVE reactive coping methods

A

a) achieved social status

b) interpersonal competence

c) self-acceptance

32
Q

PVEST - what are stable coping responses: emergent identities all about?

A

coping responses that are PATTERNED OVER TIME can SOLIDIFY and become part of an ‘emergent identity’

no longer just a response strategy, it has become a central part of your identity

for instance:
a) coping with discrimination by focusing on SCHOOL and ACADEMIC SUCCESS

LEADS to

b) EDUCATIONAL ASPIRATION & achievement becomes part of one’s IDENTITY

33
Q

PVEST - stable coping responses: emergent identities

A

integration of CULTURAL GOALS and perceived available means

  1. cultural/ethnic identity
  2. sex role identity
  3. self-efficacy
  4. personality identity
34
Q

PVEST - all the factors lead to…

A

life stage outcomes

ANY FACTOR can lead to ADVERSE or PRODUCTIVE outcomes

ie. upward social mobility

35
Q

PVEST - life stage outcomes: coping products

A

behavioural & health relevant outcomes

  1. ADVERSE
    - adjucation/deviance
    - mental illness
    - poor health
    - lack of intimacy
  2. PRODUCTIVE
    - competence
    - health
    - healthy relationships
    - effective parenting
36
Q

3 simplified points about PVEST

A
  1. cyclical interactions between PVEST components across lifespan
  2. other systems in place that can have impacts - MACROSYSTEM to microsystem
  3. political & social context are examined from the individual’s perspective ie. significant historical events like COVID-19
37
Q

simplified PVEST version

A
  1. NET VULNERABILITY
    - risk contributors: risk and protective factors
  2. NET STRESS ENGAGEMENT
    - challenges and supports
  3. REACTIVE COPING STRATEGIES
    - maladaptive and adaptive
  4. EMERGENT IDENTITIES
    - negative and positive stable coping responses
  5. COPING OUTCOMES
    - productive and unproductive
38
Q

“the other Wes Moore” - an example of the importance of meaning making

A

kind of like a case study on which to apply PVEST

Wes Moore - received Rhodes scholarship and is now Governor of Maryland

lost his father when he was 3, grew up with a single mom, got into trouble as a teen

then was sent to military school and found sense of purpose

but there’s ANOTHER Wes Moore

same name, grew up in same area of Baltimore, also with a single mom

he ended up in jail, wanted for murder

while one Wes Moore was on the way to Oxford, the other one was on the way to jail

two extremely similar starting points led to very different outcomes

39
Q

Wes Moore story is an interesting case example of PVEST because…

A
  1. similar NET VULNERABILITY levels between the two
  2. similar STRESS ENGAGEMENT
  3. some LUCK, right things at the right time, different REACTIVE COPING METHODS and EMERGENT IDENTITIES produced very differrent life course outcomes
40
Q

an interesting future direction for research using PVEST

A

outlined in Cunningham et al 2023 article on ORIGIN and IMPACT of PVEST

  1. applying PVEST to WHITE YOUTH
  2. due to PRIVILEGE and other factors, some might be LOW VULNERABILITY and HIGH PROTECTION
  3. others may be RELATIVELY HIGHER in VULNERABILITY (ie. poor White populations)
41
Q

question asked when applying PVEST to white youth?

A

what are COSTS of things like racism to White populations?

ie. poor white populations voting against increased social policies that would help their own health because of RACIALIZED RHETORIC around these policies helping “undeserving” members of minority groups

ie. spillover effects of racism - ie. in classroom led by a discriminatory teacher, white kids do worse too - even though they aren’t the target or the discrimination
