Despite increasing research, the links between racial discrimination and Black Americans' romantic relationship dynamics remain unclear. Guided by models of mundane extreme environmental stress (Peters & Massey, 1983), sociocultural family stress (McNeil Smith & Landor, 2018), and Black marital outcomes (Bryant et al., 2010), we conducted a systematic review of the literature examining racial discrimination and relationship dynamics among Black Americans in same-race and interracial romantic relationships. Synthesizing findings from 32 published empirical articles, we find support for manifestations of each component of MEES in Black intimate life. We uncover evidence that racial discrimination is associated with compromised relationship functioning for Black Americans. Several psychosocial resources were also identified as either buffering these associations or posing drawbacks/limitations for Black Americans. We discuss notable gaps in the literature and directions for future research including intersectional investigations, broader examination of the MEES context, and de-centering whiteness among studies of interracial relationship dynamics.
尽管研究不断增加，但种族歧视与美国黑人浪漫关系动态之间的联系仍不明确。在平凡极端环境压力模型（彼得斯和梅西，1983年）、社会文化家庭压力模型（麦克尼尔·史密斯和兰多，2018年）以及黑人婚姻结果模型（布莱恩特等人，2010年）的指导下，我们对有关美国黑人在同种族和跨种族浪漫关系中的种族歧视与关系动态的文献进行了系统综述。综合32篇已发表实证文章的研究结果，我们发现有证据支持平凡极端环境压力的各个组成部分在美国黑人亲密生活中的表现。我们发现有证据表明，种族歧视与美国黑人关系功能受损有关。还确定了几种心理社会资源，它们要么缓冲了这些关联，要么给美国黑人带来了不利因素/限制。我们讨论了文献中明显的差距以及未来研究的方向，包括交叉性调查、对平凡极端环境压力背景的更广泛考察，以及在跨种族关系动态研究中消除以白人为中心的现象。
