Where this comes from

Abstract

Stress-induced alterations in how a person attributes meaning to internal and external stimuli may represent the first step in explaining how population ethnic minority-majority interactions affect mental health. Cross-context and diagnostic assumption-free research is required to elucidate how the wider social environment interacts with personal characteristics to increase expression of psychosis.
