整合交叉性框架和压力理论，本研究确定的压力源和心理社会资源，有助于非裔美国妇女的身体和心理健康状况。使用美国生活的全国调查（N = 2，077），作者研究了非裔美国妇女的压力暴露，心理资源和健康之间的关系。结果表明，并不是所有的心理资源缓冲有害的健康影响的多重压力暴露和压力和心理资源的影响不同的健康领域。一个重要的发现是，即使在调整了其他压力暴露和心理资源之后，慢性压力也会对心理和身体健康产生负面影响。传统形式的心理资源，如社会支持，掌握和自尊，并不能完全改善压力的负面影响，在某些情况下，放大了压力对健康的负面影响。研究结果表明，有必要解开心理社会因素对非洲裔美国妇女的健康的差异影响。
Integrating the intersectionality framework and stress theory, this study identifies the stressors and psychosocial resources contributing to the physical and psychological health status of African American women. Using the National Survey of American Life (N = 2,077), the authors examine the relationship between stress exposures, psychological resources, and health among African American women. The results show that not all psychological resources buffered the deleterious health effects of multiple stress exposures and that the effects of stress and psychological resources differ by health domain. One important finding is that chronic stress negatively affects both mental and physical health, even after adjusting for other stress exposures and psychological resources. Traditional forms of psychological resources, such as social support, mastery, and self-esteem, do not completely ameliorate the negative effects of stress and, in some cases, amplify the negative effects of stress on health. The findings demonstrate the need to disentangle the differential impact of psychosocial factors on African American women's health.
