The quality of life enjoyed by people of African descent in the United States is compromised by encounters with a number of forms of racially stressful events. Our laboratory studies have demonstrated the disruptive outcomes these encounters have on physiological and psychological activity. The studies proposed here are designed to study processes involved when individuals encounter various forms of racism. Processes will be studied by 1) examining the role of individual differences in personality on reactions to racism and 2) manipulating various facets of racist events and examining the impact on physiological and psychological processes. Two sets of studies are described. The first studies are psychometric and will involve refining measures of mainstream and African cultural orientation and Black identity. The second set of studies are psychophysiological where a variety of racist events will be presented via video tape. We will focus on processes by examining the magnitude and latency of physiological and affective responses to various forms of racism. In addition, we will achieve the process focus by determining the patterns of relationships between measures of Black culture and identity y and responses to various forms and facets of racism. It is hypothesized that racism perpetrated by Caucasian agents is likely to elicit rapidly occurring physiological arousal and confrontational coping patterns. Afrocentrism is expected to be associated with mitigated negative mood states when racism is encountered, while a belief in mainstream American values is expected to be associated with stronger negative responses to racism. The involvement of student research assistants in every phase of these efforts is anticipated.

非洲人在曼联的生活质量 与多种形式的种族形式的相遇损害了状态 压力事件。 我们的实验室研究表明 这些遭遇的破坏性结果在生理和 心理活动。 这里提出的研究旨在研究 当个人遇到各种形式的种族主义时，涉及的过程。 过程将通过1）研究个体的作用来研究 对种族主义反应的人格差异和2）操纵 种族主义事件的各个方面并检查对生理的影响 和心理过程。 描述了两组研究。 这 首次研究是心理测量，将涉及精炼的措施 主流和非洲文化取向以及黑人身份。 这 第二组研究是心理生理学的各种种族主义 事件将通过录像带提出。 我们将专注于流程 检查生理和情感的大小和潜伏期 对各种形式的种族主义的回应。 此外，我们将实现 通过确定关系模式之间的过程重点 黑人文化和身份的度量 y和对种族主义的各种形式和方面的回应。 这是 假设高加索特工犯下的种族主义可能会 引起迅速发生的生理唤醒和对抗应对 模式。 预计非洲中心主义将与缓解相关 当遇到种族主义时，负面情绪状态，而对 预计美国主流价值将与更强 对种族主义的负面反应。 学生研究的参与 预计在这些努力的每个阶段的助手。
