This qualitative study examined how adolescent Black males (N = 12) talk about their identities, prosocial behaviors, and connections between them. Of special interest was whether and how the participants included their experiences of dehumanization. Focus group data were analyzed using modified analytic induction. Participants felt good about their racially gendered identities but felt they occupied a precarious position in the United States. Participants' beliefs about how others viewed them motivated restraint from engaging in too many prosocial acts to prevent appearing vulnerable. Participants explicitly referred to their experience of oppression in these discussions and its interaction with identity and prosociality. Results suggest research must consider how macro-level processes like racism influence the identities and prosocial behaviors of adolescent Black males.
这项定性研究探讨了青少年黑人男性（N=12）如何谈论他们的身份、亲社会行为以及它们之间的联系。特别感兴趣的是参与者是否以及如何包括他们被非人化的经历。使用改良的分析归纳法对焦点小组数据进行了分析。参与者对自己的种族性别认同感觉良好，但觉得自己在美国的地位岌岌可危。参与者对他人如何看待他们的看法促使他们在不表现出脆弱的情况下，限制自己从事过多的亲社会行为。参与者在这些讨论中明确提到了他们的压迫经历，以及它与身份和亲社会行为的相互作用。研究结果表明，研究必须考虑像种族主义这样的宏观层面的过程如何影响青少年黑人男性的身份和亲社会行为。
