SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 (9/11) stand out as a monumental event that is marked as a sad day in our society's recent history and an even scarier reality of religious discrimination for Muslim Americans and "Arab-appearing" individuals. The purpose of this study was to investigate the experiences of Sikh men after 9/11. The sample included 231 Sikh men. Hypothesis 1 proposed that discrimination would mediate the relationship between visible markers of religion and psychological distress. Hypothesis 2 stated that discrimination would mediate the relationship between visible markers of religion and career barriers. Results supported hypotheses. An unexpected finding emerged in which higher career barriers predicted more psychological distress. Implications and future directions are discussed.
