The differential contexts that ethnic minorities face as a result of lower societal status impact outcomes of trauma. Cultural betrayal trauma theory (CBTT) is a contextualized framework that was created to examine trauma in minority populations. According to CBTT, due to societal inequality, within-group trauma in minority populations is a cultural betrayal that contributes to outcomes. In addition to looking at typically studied abuse outcomes (e.g., posttraumatic stress disorder), CBTT also predicts cultural outcomes, such as internalized prejudice, changes in ethnic identity, and (intra)cultural pressure (e.g., silencing victims of intraracial trauma to protect the minority ingroup from discriminatory individuals and systems of the dominant culture). No prior studies have examined cultural outcomes in CBTT. It was hypothesized that intraracial trauma (aka, cultural betrayal trauma) would be associated with cultural outcomes in a sample of ethnic minority college students. Participants (N = 296; 60.5% female; age: M = 20.12, SD = 2.81) were ethnic minority college students (35.0% Asian, 24.7% Hispanic-Latino American, 14.2% Other, 13.2% Black-African American, 5.7% Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, 3.4% American Indian-Alaska Native, and 3.4% Middle Eastern) attending a predominantly White university. Participants completed self-report questionnaires assessing trauma and outcomes online. Separate hierarchical linear regression analyses suggested that when controlling for age, gender, ethnicity, and interracial trauma, intraracial trauma predicted internalized prejudice, (intra)cultural pressure, and changes in identification with ethnic identity. These findings have implications for cultural competency in clinical interventions for minority victims of trauma. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved).
少数民族由于社会地位较低而面临的不同背景会影响创伤的结果。文化背叛创伤理论（CBTT）是一个语境化的框架，旨在研究少数民族群体中的创伤。根据 CBTT，由于社会不平等，少数民族群体中的群体内创伤是一种文化背叛，会导致后果。除了研究通常研究的虐待后果（例如，创伤后应激障碍）之外，CBTT 还预测了文化后果，例如内化偏见、民族认同的变化以及（内）文化压力（例如，为了保护少数民族群体免受主流文化中歧视性个体和系统的影响而对种族内创伤的受害者保持沉默）。之前没有研究在 CBTT 中检查过文化后果。假设种族内创伤（又名文化背叛创伤）与少数民族大学生样本中的文化后果有关。参与者（N=296；60.5%为女性；年龄：M=20.12，SD=2.81）为少数民族大学生（35.0%为亚裔，24.7%为西班牙裔拉丁裔美国人，14.2%为其他，13.2%为非裔美国人，5.7%为夏威夷原住民或其他太平洋岛民，3.4%为美洲印第安人-阿拉斯加原住民，3.4%为中东人），就读于一所以白人为主的大学。参与者在线完成了自我报告问卷，评估创伤和结果。单独的分层线性回归分析表明，在控制年龄、性别、族裔和种族间创伤的情况下，种族内创伤预测了内化偏见、（内）文化压力以及对民族认同的认同变化。这些发现对少数民族创伤受害者的临床干预中的文化能力具有启示意义。（PsycINFO 数据库记录（c）2019 APA，保留所有权利）。
