This study examined the role that dimensions of racial identity play regarding the antecedents and consequences of perceived racial discrimination among African Americans. A total of 267 African American college students completed measures of racial identity, perceived racial discrimination, and psychological distress at 2 time points. After controlling for previous perceptions of discrimination, racial centrality was positively associated with subsequent perceived racial discrimination. Additionally, perceived discrimination was positively associated with subsequent event-specific and global psychological distress after accounting for previous perceptions of discrimination and distress. Finally, racial ideology and public regard beliefs moderated the positive relationship between perceived discrimination and subsequent distress. The results illustrate the complex role racial identity plays in the lives of African Americans.
本研究考察了种族认同维度在非裔美国人所感知的种族歧视的前因和后果方面所起的作用。共有267名非裔美国大学生在两个时间点完成了种族认同、所感知的种族歧视和心理困扰的测量。在控制了先前的歧视认知后，种族核心性与随后所感知的种族歧视呈正相关。此外，在考虑了先前的歧视认知和困扰后，所感知的歧视与随后特定事件和整体心理困扰呈正相关。最后，种族意识形态和公众评价信念调节了所感知的歧视与随后困扰之间的正相关关系。研究结果说明了种族认同在非裔美国人生活中所起的复杂作用。
