本研究以555名非裔美国年轻人为样本，探讨了种族认同、种族歧视、感知压力和心理困扰之间的直接和间接关系。一项前瞻性研究设计被用来评估种族认同态度的两个维度的影响（即，中心性和公众关注）对其他研究变量的影响，以探讨种族认同态度与心理困扰之间的关系。研究结果表明，种族中心性和心理困扰之间的直接关系，以及通过种族歧视和感知压力的影响，为中心性和公众关注的间接关系的证据。此外，种族中心主义既是遭受歧视的一个风险因素，也是缓冲歧视对心理困扰的负面影响的一个保护因素。结果进行了讨论的背景下，确定多种途径的心理健康的非洲裔美国年轻人的种族歧视的背景下。
This study examines the direct and indirect relationships among racial identity, racial discrimination, perceived stress, and psychological distress in a sample of 555 African American young adults. A prospective study design was used to assess the influence of two dimensions of racial identity attitudes (i.e., centrality and public regard) on other study variables to investigate the relationship between racial identity attitudes and psychological distress. The results show some evidence of a direct relationship between racial centrality and psychological distress, as well as evidence of indirect relationships for both centrality and public regard through the impact of racial discrimination and perceived stress. In addition, racial centrality was both a risk factor for experiencing discrimination and a protective factor in buffering the negative impact of discrimination on psychological distress. Results are discussed within the context of identifying multiple pathways to psychological well-being for African American young adults within the context of racial discrimination.
