Perceived discrimination is a mental health stressor that involves individuals ability toperceive
interactions and discriminatory experiences in their daily lives. The aim of this dissertation
was to explore the associations between Perceived Discrimination and Psychopathological
Symptoms. For this purpose, a three-part study was designed. It includeda literature review, a
narrative review on perceived discrimination and disorders, symptoms, and other signs of
psychological morbidity, and finally, an assessment of the psychometric properties of the
Everyday Discrimination Scale along with an empirical study that evaluatedthe presence of
psychopathological symptoms online and tested associations with perceived discrimination. A cross-sectional research design with quantitative analysis was employed, considering
responses from 547 native Brazilian adults aged 18 to 72 years old. Participants completed
four self-administered questionnaires: sociodemographic, Everyday Discrimination Scale,
Psychological Distress Scale, and the Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Scale from the Fifth
Edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Regarding the results,
validity based on internal structure was conducted using Exploratory Factor Analysis,which
found that all items functioned appropriately. The scale demonstrated unidimensionalityby
assessing a single construct and showed convergent validity with external measures throughthe K10 Scale, designed to assess recent psychological distress reports. The hypothesis that stigma and discrimination might impact seeking psychological help was confirmed by this study. Our
research supports that the Everyday Discrimination Scale possesses reliable properties for
online use, enhancing the feasibility of studies in this area. Thus, we observed apositive
association between the Everyday Discrimination Scale and psychopathologicalsymptoms as
well as recent psychological distress.
