Abstract in brief

  • The study explores how racial discrimination can act as psychological trauma for racial and ethnic minority emerging adults, leading to dissociative symptoms, which are common responses to trauma.
  • It finds that higher frequency of racial discrimination is linked to more dissociative symptoms, but actively coping with discrimination may help reduce these symptoms.
  • The research suggests that different coping strategies can influence the risk of dissociation among minorities experiencing racial discrimination, highlighting the importance of active coping methods.]
