在压力过程中的种族身份的作用进行了检查的样本（N=174）的非裔美国人博士生和博士课程的毕业生。种族歧视和心理困扰（负面影响，抑郁和焦虑）每天进行评估，为期两周。多水平随机系数模型分析显示，种族认同的独特维度与日常种族歧视的暴露程度相关。种族中心性较高的个体比种族中心性较低的个体更有可能报告日常遭遇种族歧视。相比之下，个人更高的私人方面不太可能报告这些遭遇比那些在私人方面较低。最后，种族歧视和心理困扰之间的日常联系对于种族中心性高的个体来说更强。具体来说，种族中心性加剧了日常种族歧视对负面情绪和抑郁症的影响。这些研究结果的影响进行了讨论，在博士背景下的非裔美国人的日常经验。
The role of racial identity in the stress process was examined in a sample (N=174) of African American doctoral students and graduates of doctoral programs. Racial discrimination and psychological distress (negative affect, depression, and anxiety) were assessed each day for a period of two weeks. Multilevel random coefficient modeling analyses revealed that unique dimensions of racial identity were associated with greater exposure to daily racial discrimination. Individuals higher in racial centrality were more likely to report daily encounters of racial discrimination than those lower in racial centrality. In contrast, individuals higher in private regard were less likely to report these encounters than those lower in private regard. Finally, the daily association between racial discrimination and psychological distress was stronger for individuals high in racial centrality. Specifically, racial centrality exacerbated the effects of daily racial discrimination on negative affect and depression. Implications of these findings are discussed in terms of the daily experiences of African Americans in doctoral contexts.
