与其他几个种族/族裔群体相比，非西班牙裔黑人成年人口在心理和身体健康方面存在显著差异。然而，有一个缺乏科学知识的心理为基础的个体差异因素，可能与非西班牙裔黑人之间的常见的精神和身体健康症状的恶化。本调查旨在建立在非西班牙裔黑人成年人焦虑敏感性的有限知识的基础上，探索这种结构是否与一系列普遍的心理健康和心身症状唯一相关，这些症状通常与这一人群之间的差异有关。参与者包括非西班牙裔黑人成年人（N= 205;法师= 21.67岁; SD年龄= 5.39;年龄范围：18-60岁; 82.0%女性）。结果表明，焦虑敏感性呈正相关，焦虑觉醒，一般抑郁，失眠，疲劳的严重程度和躯体症状的严重程度，效果是明显的以上和超出方差解释的一系列协变量，包括年龄，性别，教育，主观社会地位，和神经质。总的来说，目前的研究结果独特地建立在过去的研究焦虑敏感性和非西班牙裔黑人成年人，通过证明在这个结构中的个体差异是一致的，相对稳健地与广泛的心理健康和心身症状。从这项工作中建立的未来研究可能会受益于考虑针对焦虑敏感性降低的干预方案，以抵消非西班牙裔黑人人口的精神和身体健康损害。
The non-Hispanic Black adult population has notable disparities in mental and physical health compared to several other racial/ethnic groups. Yet, there is a lack of scientific knowledge about psychologically based individual difference factors that may be associated with an exacerbation of common mental and physical health symptoms among non-Hispanic Black persons. The present investigation sought to build on the limited knowledge about anxiety sensitivity among non-Hispanic Black adults by exploring whether this construct was uniquely associated with a range of prevalent mental health and psychosomatic symptoms commonly tied to disparities among this population. Participants included non-Hispanic Black adults (N= 205;Mage= 21.67 years;SDage= 5.39; age range: 18–60 years; 82.0% female). Results indicated that anxiety sensitivity was positively related to anxious arousal, general depression, insomnia, fatigue severity, and somatic symptom severity; effects were evident above and beyond the variance explained by a range of covariates, including age, sex, education, subjective social status, and neuroticism. Overall, the present findings uniquely build from past research on anxiety sensitivity and non-Hispanic Black adults by demonstrating that individual differences in this construct are consistently and relatively robustly associated with a wide range of mental health and psychosomatic symptoms. Future research that builds from this work may benefit from consideration of intervention programming targeting anxiety sensitivity reduction to offset mental and physical health impairments among the non-Hispanic Black population.
