The concept of minority stress rests on three underlying assumptions. First it is unique, meaning that those in stigmatized groups have the added burden of dealing with stress over and above the stress that is experienced by others. Second, it is chronic, in that it is related to largely immobile social and cultural structures. Third, it is socially based, stemming from societal elements and institutional systems beyond the individual.  2, record 1, English, - minority%20stress
