Overview

Randomized trial explores perceived discrimination's effect on happiness and support for state governance in Anglophone Cameroonians, suggesting implications for conflict resolution.

Key Points

  • This study examines how perceived discrimination affects happiness and political attitudes toward state governance among Anglophone Cameroonians.
  • Analyzed data from 314 self-identified Anglophones through an anonymous online survey.
  • Assessed variables including perceived discrimination, happiness, and political preferences.
  • Conducted regression and mediation analyses to explore the relationships between these variables.
  • Perceived discrimination significantly predicted lower happiness (p<0.01).
  • Happiness partially mediated the effect of perceived discrimination on support for secession (positive mediation).
  • Happiness also mediated support for maintaining the current unitary state (negative mediation).
