非洲裔美国妇女目前的种族心理健康差异被归因于种族相关压力源的长期经历。在以白色人为主的空间中，种族主义的风险增加，可能会增加对文化规范性应对机制的依赖。本研究的目的是调查心理困扰之间的关系，感知种族microaggressions，并有义务表现出力量/抑制受过教育的中产阶级非洲裔美国妇女的情绪。243名年龄在19-72岁（M = 39.49岁）的非洲裔美国妇女参加了一项在线研究。参与者完成了心理困扰（PHQ-8和GAD-7），种族微攻击（IMABI）的自我报告措施，并从黑人女性的刻板印象角色（SRBWS）的修改项目，以评估显示强度/抑制情绪的义务。进行因素分析，以评估在我们的样本中的义务，以显示强度/抑制情绪分量表的可靠性。描述性统计，多元线性回归和中介分析也进行了检查变量的关联。统计分析显示，受过教育的中产阶级非洲裔美国妇女赞同有义务表现出力量/抑制情绪，并认为种族微侵略经历了增加的心理困扰。表现出力量/抑制情绪的义务可能会增加非洲裔美国妇女感知种族微侵略的心理困扰的风险。未来的研究和临床意义进行了讨论。
Current racial mental health disparities among African American women have been attributed to chronic experiences of race-related stressors. Increased exposure to racism in predominately White spaces may increase reliance on culturally normative coping mechanisms. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between psychological distress, perceived racial microaggressions, and an obligation to show strength/suppress emotions among educated, middle-class African American women. A sample of 243 African American women aged 19–72 years (M = 39.49 years) participated in an online study. Participants completed self-report measures of psychological distress (PHQ-8 and GAD-7), racial microaggressions (IMABI), and modified items from the Stereotypical Roles for Black Women (SRBWS) to assess an obligation to display strength/suppress emotions. Factor analyses were conducted to assess the reliability of the obligation to show strength/suppress emotions subscale in our sample. Descriptive statistics, multiple linear regression, and mediation analyses were also conducted to examine variable associations. Statistical analyses revealed educated, middle-class African American women who endorse an obligation to show strength/suppress emotions with perceived racial microaggressions experienced increased psychological distress. Obligation to show strength/suppress emotion may increase risk for psychological distress among African American women who perceive racial microaggressions. Future research and clinical implications are discussed.
