A study examined the impact of racial discrimination on the mental health of Pacific Islander men in the United States. Researchers surveyed 249 Latter-day Saint Pacific Islander men using an online questionnaire. The study focused on how racial discrimination affects depression, anxiety, stress, anger, forgiveness, and self-esteem. Findings revealed that higher experiences of racial discrimination correlated with increased anger and negative mental health outcomes, such as depression, anxiety, and stress. Additionally, experiences of racial discrimination were found to negatively affect forgiveness and self-esteem. The study indicated that forgiveness and self-esteem partially mediated the relationship between racial discrimination and various mental health issues, including anger, depression, anxiety, and stress. These results highlight the significant psychological effects of racial discrimination on this population and suggest the need for targeted mental health support.
