本研究探讨种族认同态度是否调节种族压力事件、种族压力评估和心理健康之间的关系。118名非裔美国妇女和144名自认为是加勒比妇女完成了跨种族认同量表、种族主义事件表、罗森博格自尊量表和流行病学研究中心抑郁量表。层次回归分析显示，多元文化认同态度调节了种族主义压力评价与抑郁的关系，以及种族主义压力事件与抑郁的关系。与多元文化认同态度得分低于平均值1个标准差的被试相比，多元文化认同态度得分高于平均值1个标准差的被试在一定程度上不受种族主义压力事件和种族主义压力评价的影响。主要结论是，多元文化认同态度在某种程度上可以防止种族相关压力对心理健康的影响。讨论了黑人心理学对心理健康从业者和未来研究的影响。
This study examined whether racial identity attitudes moderate the relationship between racist stress events, racist stress appraisal, and mental health. One hundred eighteen African American and 144 self-identified Caribbean women completed the Cross Racial Identity Scale, the Schedule of Racist Events, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that multicultural identity attitudes moderated the relationship between racist stress appraisals and depression, as well as the relationship between racist stress events and depression. Compared with participants with multicultural identity attitude scores I standard deviation below the mean, those with multicultural identity attitude scores I standard deviation above the mean were somewhat protected from the impact of racist stress events and racist stress appraisals. The primary conclusion is that multicultural identity attitudes are somewhat protective against the impact of race-related stress on mental health. Implications for mental health practitioners and future research in the field of Black psychology are discussed.
