Vicarious Racial Discrimination and Mental Health among Adults: A Scoping Review of Literature Published between 2010 and 2023
The literature on vicarious racial discrimination requires greater clarity and nuance when describing various types of vicarious racial discrimination. Vicarious racial discrimination is prevalent and is related to a range of mental health problems impacting ethno-racial minoritized populations. Potential mediators such as self-esteem and hypervigilance, along with moderators such as social support and service utilization, are important topics of future research.
