Oral · Social Psychology

Striving to understand the lives of the upwards of 1,500,000 Iranian immigrants living in the United States, our study found that everyday discrimination is negatively associated with this population’s well-being, while positive and supportive social networks serve as a potential buffer for them in discriminatory environments.
