This study examined frequencies and psychological effects of daily racial discrimination experienced individually, vicariously, online, offline, and through teasing. Participants were 101 Black U.S. American adolescents for this ecological momentary assessment study that measured daily racial discrimination and 14-day depressive symptoms slopes. Confirmatory factor analyses specified subscales, -test analyses compared subscale means, and hierarchical linear analyses tested associations between subscales and depressive symptoms slopes. Results showed that six subscales fit the data well: individual general, vicarious general, individual online, vicarious online, individual teasing, and vicarious teasing. Participants reported 5606 experiences of racial discrimination during the study and averaged 5.21 experiences per day across the six subscales. The two online subscales were more frequent than the offline subscales. Aside from online vicarious experiences, all subscales were positively associated with depressive symptoms slopes. Findings underscore the multidimensional, quotidian, and impactful nature of racial discrimination in the lives of Black adolescents in the U.S.
本研究考察了个体亲身经历、间接经历、线上、线下以及通过取笑所遭受的日常种族歧视的频率及其心理影响。在这项生态瞬时评估研究中，参与者为101名美国黑人青少年，该研究测量了日常种族歧视和14天的抑郁症状斜率。验证性因素分析确定了分量表，t检验分析比较了分量表均值，分层线性分析检验了分量表与抑郁症状斜率之间的关联。结果表明，六个分量表与数据拟合良好：个体一般经历、间接一般经历、个体线上经历、间接线上经历、个体取笑经历和间接取笑经历。参与者在研究期间报告了5606次种族歧视经历，六个分量表平均每天有5.21次经历。两个线上分量表比线下分量表更频繁。除了线上间接经历外，所有分量表都与抑郁症状斜率呈正相关。研究结果强调了美国黑人青少年生活中种族歧视的多维度、日常性和影响力。
