Abstract

Drawing on separate strands of research documenting the psychological consequences of (a) precarious employment and other challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and (b) ableism, this study incorporates both into an examination of disability-based differences in the joint significance of discrimination and work precarity during the pandemic for mental health. Analyses utilizing data from a regional survey of people with and without disabilities in the Intermountain West (N = 2,012) provide evidence that precarious employment, greater discrimination, and disability independently predict depressive symptoms. Further, in the context of greater discrimination, more precarious employment is found to have greater significance for people with disabilities compared to those who are not currently disabled. These findings challenge us to think about how we engage in research concerning ableism and macro-level stressors, and underscore the role of power structures and positionality in shaping the psychological impact of employment challenges experienced during the pandemic.

新冠肺炎大流行期间的不稳定就业、与残疾相关的歧视和心理健康
本研究利用记录(a)不稳定就业和与COVID-19大流行相关的其他挑战以及(b)残疾歧视的心理后果的不同研究线索,将两者纳入对大流行期间歧视和工作不稳定对心理健康的共同意义的残疾差异的审查。利用对美国西部山间地区残疾人和非残疾人的区域调查数据(N = 2012)进行的分析表明,不稳定的就业、更大的歧视和残疾独立地预测了抑郁症状。此外,在歧视加剧的背景下,与目前没有残疾的人相比,更不稳定的就业对残疾人的影响更大。这些发现促使我们思考如何开展有关残疾歧视和宏观层面压力源的研究,并强调权力结构和地位在形成大流行期间经历的就业挑战的心理影响方面的作用。
