The current study tested direct and indirect associations between racial discrimination and civic engagement via emotion regulation strategies. Differences between males and females were also explored.
African American college students (76% female; M = 18.42) participating in a university-wide research study provided self-reports of their racial discrimination experiences, use of emotion regulation strategies, and civic engagement attitudes and beliefs.
Greater racial discrimination was associated with less use of reappraisal (i.e., thinking about emotions in a different way) and, in turn, use of reappraisal was associated with greater civic engagement attitudes. The same association was found for civic engagement behaviors. However, reappraisal was associated with greater civic engagement behaviors for females and less civic engagement behaviors for males.
The current study highlights the need to consider the role of cognitive emotion regulation strategies on college students' sociopolitical development and civic engagement. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).
本研究通过情绪调节策略检验了种族歧视与公民参与之间的直接和间接关系。还探讨了男性和女性之间的差异。
参与一项大学范围内研究的非裔美国大学生（76%为女性；M = 18.42）报告了他们的种族歧视经历、情绪调节策略的使用情况以及公民参与态度和信念。
更多的种族歧视与较少使用重新评价（即，以不同的方式思考情绪）相关，而重新评价的使用又与更大的公民参与态度相关。对于公民参与行为，也发现了相同的关联。然而，对于女性来说，重新评价与更多的公民参与行为相关，而与男性的公民参与行为较少相关。
本研究强调需要考虑认知情绪调节策略在大学生的社会政治发展和公民参与中的作用。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
