Repeated Social Defeat Stress is a mouse model in which depressive phenotyping is elicited by the application of stressful procedures and stressful events. Delegitimization is the process of egregiously and negatively stereotyping one group with the intention of excluding and harming a particularly targeted group by depriving it of visibility, legitimacy, and resources through dehumanization and marginalization. Based on a survey on delegitimization, the characterization and the experiences of delegitimized groups, it can be said that through the RSDS model we can understand the psychology and the real-life experiences of those in delegitimized groups like young African American males.
