这项研究在215名非裔美国人的样本中测试了压力和应对的社会文化模型。心理资源（乐观主义、自我恢复力）被建模为“嵌套自我”（S. E. Hobfoll, 2001），由社会资源（家庭适应性和凝聚力）和文化资源（种族自豪感、宗教信仰）支持。与种族相关的压力是比压力生活事件更强大的心理困扰风险因素。结构方程模型结果证实了心理资源对减轻心理压力有显著的直接作用，社会资源对种族相关压力有显著的压力抑制作用。对咨询心理学家的理论和实践意义进行了讨论。
This study tested a sociocultural model of stress and coping in a sample of 215 African Americans. Psychological resources (optimism, ego resilience) were modeled as a "nested self" (S. E. Hobfoll, 200 1), supported by social resources (family adaptability and cohesion) and cultural resources (racial pride, religiosity). Race-related stress was a significantly more powerful risk factor than stressful life events for psychological distress. Structural equation modeling results confirmed the hypotheses that psychological resources had a significant direct effect in minimizing psychological distress, and social resources had a significant stress-suppressing effect on race-related stress. Theoretical and practical implications for counseling psychologists are discussed.
