The purpose of this study was to explore the relations between gendered racism (i.e., the simultaneous experience of racism and sexism) and anxiety among African American women. The study also tested the moderating role of physical activity in the link between gendered racism and anxiety. It was hypothesized that a subtle form of gendered racism (i.e., gendered racial microaggressions) would significantly predict anxious arousal. We also hypothesized that physical activity would buffer the relations between gendered racial microaggressions and anxiety. Participants were 249 African American women residing in the United States, who completed an online survey. Results from hierarchical multiple regression analyses indicated that a greater frequency and stress appraisal of gendered racial microaggressions significantly predicted greater anxious arousal. Results also suggested that physical activity did not buffer the association between gendered racial microaggressions and anxiety. This study has implications for highlighting the importance of exploring variables that might serve to buffer African American women against the stress of gendered racism experienced in their everyday lives.

体力活动是缓冲吗？非裔美国女性的性别种族微侵略和焦虑

本研究的目的是探讨非裔美国女性的性别种族主义（即同时经历种族主义和性别歧视）与焦虑之间的关系。该研究还测试了体育活动在性别种族主义和焦虑之间的联系中的调节作用。据推测，一种微妙的性别种族主义（即性别种族微侵略）将显着预测焦虑的觉醒。我们还假设体育活动可以缓冲性别种族微攻击与焦虑之间的关系。参与者是居住在美国的 249 名非洲裔美国女性，她们完成了一项在线调查。分层多元回归分析的结果表明，对性别化种族微攻击的频率和压力评估越大，显着地预测了更大的焦虑唤醒。结果还表明，体育活动并不能缓冲性别种族微侵略与焦虑之间的关联。这项研究对于强调探索变量的重要性具有重要意义，这些变量可能有助于缓冲非裔美国女性在日常生活中经历的性别种族主义压力。
