The present study examines how race and gender-specific factors (i.e., racial centrality and gender role beliefs) serve as protective assets against the harmful impact of racial and gender discrimination on depressive symptomatology and suicidal ideation for Black girls.
Our sample included 232 Black girls ages 15-17 years old ( = 16.85) from a socioeconomically diverse community context.
Our findings revealed that racial and gender discrimination from teachers was associated with higher levels of depressive symptomatology. Perceived gender discrimination by teachers and endorsing traditional gender role beliefs were associated with higher reports of suicidal ideation. Perceiving higher instances of racial discrimination from teachers and reporting lower levels of racial centrality were associated with higher depressive symptomatology.
The findings suggest the need to create safe spaces and to consider the interactions that occur in school settings that impact the mental health of Black girls. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
本研究考察了种族和性别特定因素（即种族中心性和性别角色信念）如何作为保护资产，防止种族和性别歧视对黑人女孩的抑郁症状和自杀意念产生有害影响。
我们的样本包括来自社会经济背景多样化社区的 232 名 15-17 岁的黑人女孩（平均年龄= 16.85 岁）。
我们的研究结果表明，教师的种族和性别歧视与更高水平的抑郁症状有关。教师感知到的性别歧视和传统性别角色信念的认可与更高的自杀意念报告有关。教师感知到更高程度的种族歧视和报告较低程度的种族中心性与更高的抑郁症状有关。
这些发现表明需要创造安全空间，并考虑在学校环境中发生的相互作用，这些相互作用会影响黑人女孩的心理健康。（美国心理协会，2022）。
