Effects of Discrimination

Presentations | English

In simple terms, discrimination is the unfair or prejudicial treatment of people and groups based on characteristics such as race, gender, age or sexual orientation. It can be understood as a social stressor that has a physiological effect on individuals (e.g., irregular heartbeat, anxiety, heartburn) that can be compounded over time and can lead to long-term negative health outcomes. Discrimination is often measured by either every day or major discriminatory events. Often, discrimination stems from fear and misunderstanding. It affects people's opportunities, their well-being and their sense of agency. Persistent exposure to discrimination can lead individuals to internalize the prejudice or stigma that is directed against them, manifesting in shame, low self-esteem, fear and stress, as well as poor health. The presentation gives further insight on the topic.
