种族主义的所有表现形式都是暴力。这项研究考察了社区和学校中基于歧视的种族暴力对青少年心理和行为结果的影响，同时也测试了公民参与的缓和影响。研究人员使用横断面调查设计，对167名13-23岁的青少年和初出茅庐的成年人的样本进行了测量，以衡量社区和学校的种族歧视、公民参与、种族认同发展、基于种族主义的压力和攻击行为。参与者是通过整群随机试验招募的，以测试枯萎病补救措施在预防青少年暴力方面的影响。研究人员假设种族歧视对青少年基于种族主义的压力和攻击性行为有直接影响，而公民参与对这些关系有缓冲作用。研究人员还检查了种族认同发展得分高于平均水平的参与者的这些关系。多元回归模型显示，邻里歧视和学校歧视对青少年攻击行为均有显著的直接影响。公民参与在邻里歧视与攻击行为之间的关系中具有正向缓冲作用。在种族认同感较高的青少年中也观察到了类似的关系，但影响更大。研究结果有助于理解种族暴力的行为影响，并投资于公民参与，以减轻其在青春期和成年初期的影响。
Racism in all its manifestations is violence. This study examines the effect of discrimination-based racial violence in neighborhoods and schools on adolescent psychological and behavioral outcomes, while also testing the moderating influence of civic engagement. Researchers used a cross-sectional survey design to measure neighborhood and school-based racial discrimination, civic engagement, racial identity development, racism-based stress, and aggressive behaviors in a sample of 167 13 - 23 year old adolescents and emerging adults. Participants were recruited through a cluster randomized trial to test the impact of blight remediation in preventing youth violence. Study researchers hypothesized a direct effect of racial discrimination on adolescents’ racism-based stress and aggressive behaviors and a buffering effect of civic engagement on these relationships. Researchers also examined these relationships in participants with higher-than-average racial identity development scores. Multivariate regression models revealed a significant direct effect of both neighborhood and school discrimination on adolescents’ aggressive behaviors. Civic engagement had a positive buffering effect in the relationship between neighborhood discrimination and aggressive behaviors. Similar relationships were observed among adolescents with a high racial identity with stronger effect. Study findings have implications for understanding the behavioral impact of racial violence and investing in civic engagement to mitigate its impact in adolescence and emerging adulthood.
