这项调查研究了特定文化的应对在高风险城市社区的非裔美国人的弹性结果的作用。参与者（N = 385）进行了调查问卷包，其中包含特定文化的应对措施，传统的弹性因素（认知能力，社会支持和家庭因素），弹性结果（身体，心理，社会和环境生活质量）。结构方程模型被用来测试在何种程度上，文化特定的应对将独特地有助于预测生活质量以上和超越传统的预测因素的弹性。研究结果表明，精神和集体应对是统计上显着的生活质量的预测结果以上，超越了传统的预测因素。总体而言，研究结果表明，传统和文化因素都是弹性结果的预测因素（即，积极的生活质量指标）的非裔美国人。
This investigation examined the role of culture-specific coping in relation to resilient outcomes in African Americans from high-risk urban communities. Participants (N = 385) were administered a survey questionnaire packet containing measures of culture-specific coping, traditional resilience factors (cognitive ability, social support, and familial factors), and resilient outcomes (physical, psychological, social, and environmental quality of life). Structural equation modeling was used to test the degree to which culture-specific coping would uniquely contribute to the prediction of quality of life above and beyond traditional predictive factors of resilience. Findings indicated that spiritual and collective coping were statistically significant predictors of quality of life outcomes above and beyond the traditional predictive factors. Overall, the findings indicated that both traditional and cultural factors were predictors of resilient outcomes (i.e., positive quality of life indicators) for African Americans.
