SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The study explored several questions regarding young adult Muslims who have experienced discrimination and how best to conceptualize these experiences. Research on the effects of discrimination on health, mental health, and lifestyle factors is relatively new and thus has not yet been fully explored. The early studies on discrimination are quite definitive, however, that discrimination has significant impacts across multiple areas (Williams, Neighbors, & Jackson, 2003). The number of reported discrimination experiences between young adult Muslims and non-Muslims, traditional and non-traditional Muslims as well as Muslims from various geographical countries of origin was explored. Additionally, presence of a correlation between the link between level of perceived discrimination, level of religiosity, and perceived quality of life and identification as a follower of the Muslim religion was explored. Results indicated that young adult Muslims reported more experiences of discrimination than their non-Muslim peers in three of the four areas examined.
