研究了非洲裔美国男孩（N = 84）的种族主义和外化症状，内化症状，绝望和自我概念之间的关系。种族主义的经历是一种复杂的现象，在对非裔美国人的成人研究中发现它具有负面的心理后果。关于种族主义与儿童心理健康之间可能存在的联系，经验文献中存在空白。这项研究就是试图弥补这一差距。结果表明，种族主义的经验与自我和父母报告的外化症状。种族主义的个人经历与自我报告的内化症状，较低的自我概念和较高的绝望程度有关。潜在的中介体（例如，特质愤怒、敌对归因偏差）进行分析。额外的分析表明，特质愤怒介导了一些观察到的种族主义和行为症状之间的关系。研究结果表明，种族主义与非洲裔美国男孩的多重负面相关性有关。
Examined the relations among perceived racism and externalizing symptoms, internalizing symptoms, hopelessness, and self-concept in African American boys (N = 84). The experience of racism is a complex phenomenon that has been found to have negative psychological outcomes in adult studies of African Americans. There has been a gap in the empirical literature regarding the possible associations between perceived racism and children's psychological well-being. This study is an attempt to address that gap. Results demonstrated that experiences of racism were related to self- and parent-reported externalizing symptoms. Personal experiences of racism were related to self-reported internalizing symptoms, lower self-concept, and higher levels of hopelessness. Potential mediators (e.g., trait anger, hostile attribution bias) were analyzed. Additional analyses indicated that trait anger mediated a number of the observed relations between perceived racism and behavioral symptoms. The results of the study suggest that perceived racism is associated with multiple negative correlates for African American boys.
