This study examined how ethnic-racial identity (ERI) profiles moderate the relationship between racial discrimination and mental health among Black American adults. Black American adults ( = 247) recruited from a community-based sample completed self-report measures of ERI, racial discrimination, depression, psychological distress, and emotional well-being. Latent profile analysis (LPA) identified four distinct ERI profiles, corresponding to the ERI status theorized in prior research-Diffusion, Moratorium, and Achievement-and a fourth profile, which corresponded to an ERI status for High Achievement. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses indicated that greater racial discrimination was significantly related to worse mental health for all outcomes and that having an ERI profile of High Achievement was significantly associated with lower depression. Moderation analysis indicated that the ERI profile for Achievement protected against depression and psychological distress in the context of high racial discrimination.

本研究考察了族裔认同（ERI）模式如何调节黑人群体中种族歧视与心理健康之间的关系。从一个基于社区的样本中招募的 247 名美国黑人成年人完成了自我报告的 ERI、种族歧视、抑郁、心理困扰和情绪健康测量。潜在剖面分析（LPA）确定了四个不同的 ERI 模式，分别对应于先前研究中提出的 ERI 状态——扩散、徘徊和成就，以及第四个模式，对应于高成就的 ERI 状态。分层多元回归分析表明，对于所有结果，更多的种族歧视与更差的心理健康显著相关，而具有高成就的 ERI 模式与更低的抑郁显著相关。调节分析表明，在高种族歧视的背景下，成就型 ERI 模式可以预防抑郁和心理困扰。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
