Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Previous research has shown that African Americans have worse physical health than Whites even with controls for socioeconomic status whereas African Americans have similar mental health than Whites with controls for socioeconomic status. This research explores the role of discrimination, social support, and religion in this anomalous finding using the Midlife Development in the United States survey (MIDUS). Results indicate that African Americans’ mental health is less affected by everyday discrimination than it is for Whites; however, their physical health is equally affected by everyday discrimination. Social support from spouse, family, and friends and religious service attendance explain some of the interaction of everyday discrimination by race but do not explain all of it. These findings indicate that African Americans have resources that make their mental health less susceptible to everyday discrimination, even though they do not have the same protective effect for their physical health.
