Article Synopsis
- Black adolescents often experience everyday racism, which negatively impacts their health and well-being, leading to heightened anticipatory stress responses related to future experiences of racism.
- A study with 442 participants examined how individual, institutional, and cultural racism affected these stress responses and how different dimensions of racial identity (centrality, private regard, public regard) moderated the relationship.
- Findings showed that higher experiences of racism correlated with increased stress responses, with variations based on racial identity, suggesting that having a strong racial identity may help alleviate some negative effects of racism.
Racial socialization is an important predictor of wellbeing among Black youth. Scholars have theorized that Black girls could benefit from gendered racial socialization or messages about being Black girls. However, this has not been examined empirically.
