This study examines the direct and indirect relationships among racial identity, racial discrimination, perceived stress, and psychological distress in a sample of 555 African American young adults. A prospective study design was used to assess the influence of two dimensions of racial identity attitudes (i.e., centrality and public regard) on other study variables to investigate the relationship between racial identity attitudes and psychological distress. The results show some evidence of a direct relationship between racial centrality and psychological distress, as well as evidence of indirect relationships for both centrality and public regard through the impact of racial discrimination and perceived stress. In addition, racial centrality was both a risk factor for experiencing discrimination and a protective factor in buffering the negative impact of discrimination on psychological distress. Results are discussed within the context of identifying multiple pathways to psychological well-being for African American young adults within the context of racial discrimination.
本研究调查了555名非裔美国青年成年人样本中种族认同、种族歧视、感知压力和心理困扰之间的直接和间接关系。采用前瞻性研究设计来评估种族认同态度的两个维度（即核心性和公众评价）对其他研究变量的影响，以探究种族认同态度与心理困扰之间的关系。结果显示，有证据表明种族核心性与心理困扰之间存在直接关系，同时也有证据表明核心性和公众评价通过种族歧视和感知压力的影响存在间接关系。此外，种族核心性既是遭受歧视的风险因素，也是缓冲歧视对心理困扰负面影响的保护因素。研究结果在种族歧视背景下为非裔美国青年成年人确定通往心理健康的多种途径的背景下进行了讨论。
