In this existential-phenomenological investigation middle-class African American women (n = 9) in the Southern United States were interviewed about their experience of anger in daily life. The purpose of the study was to examine what African American women's anger is about, what it means, and how it is experienced. Transcribed interviews were analyzed using a hermeneutic process. The thematic structure of African American women's anger comprises three main elements that stand out as figural: power, control, and respect. These figural elements can be understood only when seen against the ground of a racist Southern culture that produces pervasive mistrust. These findings are of importance to clinicians, who cannot deliver culturally competent interventions to African American female clients without a clear understanding of the complexity and meaning of their anger experience.
在这项存在主义-现象学调查中，对美国南部的9名中产阶级非裔美国女性进行了访谈，了解她们在日常生活中的愤怒体验。该研究的目的是探究非裔美国女性的愤怒是关于什么的、意味着什么以及她们是如何体验愤怒的。采用诠释学方法对转录的访谈内容进行分析。非裔美国女性愤怒的主题结构包含三个突出的主要元素：权力、控制和尊重。只有将这些元素置于产生普遍不信任的种族主义南方文化背景下，才能理解它们。这些发现对临床医生很重要，因为如果不清晰了解非裔美国女性愤怒体验的复杂性和意义，临床医生就无法为她们提供具有文化胜任力的干预措施。
