Victim psychological responses depend on group historical-cultural coping patterns

Evidence

Finally, this approach need not be limited to African Americans but has general application to any identifiable human group that is a target of systemic group-based loss of control or freedom and physical and psychological denigration of their collective human worth. When a group faces such circumstances, it will necessarily draw upon its known and practiced cultural patterns as a means of coping with these challenges. It could be that the TRIOS qualities are uniquely suited to adapting to dehumanizing circumstances. It also could be that different groups will find ways to employ their cultural tendencies to successfully cope with similarly challenging circumstances. Indeed, the framework I propose is that understanding the responses of victims of systematic discrimination must take into account the group’s historical-cultural patterns and mechanisms in order to have an adequate and accurate understanding of their psychological life. — , Rudman, Laurie A - On the Nature of…, 1107
