Discrimination and Well-Being: The Moderating Effects of Agentic Value Orientations
Firat R.
Experiences of discrimination significantly deteriorate both subjective well-being
and health; yet some people are more resilient to these negative effects than others.
Previous research has considered factors such as identity or socioeconomic status that can
help people cope with discrimination. However, the literature has not yet considered the
ways in which agentic value orientations may moderate the negative effect of discrimination
upon well-being. This paper addresses this gap by focusing on the moderating role
of openness versus conservation, and self-enhancement versus self-transcendence values as
agentic orientations. Analyzing the European Social Survey Round 6 (2012) with multilevel
models, this study demonstrates that both individual and national level agentic orientations
moderate some of the effects of discrimination on well-being an health. These
findings suggest that agentic values are potentially important cognitive resources from
which individuals derive strength from when faced with adverse social experiences.
