Daily Experiences of Discrimination and Ethnic/Racial Minority Adolescents’ Sleep: The Moderating Role of Social Support

View at Publisher Save 10.1111/jora.12693
Abstract
Using data from a 14‐day diary study of 95 ethnic/racial minority adolescents, this study examined the within‐person effect of daily discrimination tied to multiple social identities on adolescents’ daily sleep quality and duration and whether daily support from important others (i.e., friends, parents, and teachers) would moderate these links. We found that daily discrimination was a low‐frequency, but high‐impact event associated with shorter sleep duration. Results pointed to the nuanced roles of daily support. Support from friends was negatively related to sleep duration, whereas support from parents appeared to be promotive to sleep quality. Support from teachers protected adolescents from the negative effects of discrimination on sleep duration. Implications for future interventions targeting sleep disturbances associated with discrimination are discussed.
