John Henryism : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Henryism John Henryism (JH) is a term used to describe a strategy for coping with prolonged exposure to stresses such as social discrimination by expending high levels of effort which results in accumulating physiological costs. == Origins == The term was conceived in the 1970s by African-American epidemiologist and public health researcher Sherman James while he was investigating racial health disparities between African-American people and others in North Carolina. One of the people he interviewed was a black man who, despite being born into an impoverished sharecropper family and having only a second grade education, could read and write. The man had freed himself and his offspring from the sharecropper system, had of farmed land by age 40, but by his 50s had hypertension, arthritis, and severe peptic ulcer disease.〔 His name, John Henry Martin, and his circumstances were evocative of folk hero John Henry, an African American who worked vigorously enough to compete successfully with a steam powered machine, but died as a result of his effort.〔("John Henry, Present at the Creation" ), Stephen Wade, ''NPR'', September 2, 2002〕
