Abstract

This study examined the link between discrimination, experiences of anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts among a clinical sample of adult couple dyads (N = 49). Using an actor-partner interdependence model (APIM) that included all couple identities as indistinguishable dyads, findings suggested that experiences of discrimination were linked with higher anxiety and depression, and that higher anxiety and depression were both linked with increased suicidal thoughts. Implications for clinicians working with couples include paying attention to the influence of experiences of discrimination and the meaning the couples make of these experiences.

歧视、抑郁和对偶：歧视的经历影响伴侣关系

摘要

本研究调查了成年夫妻临床样本中的歧视、焦虑、抑郁和自杀念头之间的联系（N  = 49）。使用将所有夫妻身份视为不可区分的二元组的演员-伴侣相互依赖模型（APIM），研究结果表明，歧视经历与更高的焦虑和抑郁有关，而更高的焦虑和抑郁都与自杀念头增加有关。与夫妻一起工作的临床医生的意义包括注意歧视经历的影响以及夫妻对这些经历的意义。
