Peer reviewedThomas, Melvin E.; Hughes, Michael – American Sociological Review, 1986
Blacks scored consistently lower than whites on measures of psychological well-being and quality of life, and the differences remained constant for the period 1972 to 1985. Therefore race remains a significant determinant of psychological well-being and quality of life. Interpretations of these findings are offered. (Author/PS)
