Additional research is needed on the link between racial discrimination and depressive symptoms over time as well as the risk and resilience moderators that influence this link. One understudied factor that may exacerbate this link is perseverative cognition-chronic activation of stress-related cognitive representations. However, race-specific activism, like Black Lives Matter (BLM) activism, may attenuate this association. Given this, the current study investigated autoregressive and cross-lagged associations between racial discrimination and depressive symptoms across two time points over 6 months. We also tested if perseverative cognition and two domains of Black Lives Matter activism-support and behavior-moderated the cross-lagged associations between racial discrimination and depressive symptoms. Using data from 232 African Americans, findings revealed a significant cross-lagged effect of Time 1 racial discrimination on Time 2 depressive symptoms (but no cross-lagged effect of T1 depressive symptoms on T2 racial discrimination). This cross-lagged effect was moderated by both perseverative cognition and support for BLM activism such that the association between Time 1 racial discrimination was only associated with Time 2 depressive symptoms at lower levels of perseverative cognition and lower levels of BLM support.

种族主义对抑郁症状的影响：将坚持不懈的认知和 Black Lives Matter 激进主义作为主持人进行检查。

需要进一步研究种族歧视和抑郁症状之间的联系以及影响这种联系的风险和适应力调节因素。一个可能加剧这种联系的未充分研究的因素是持续性认知 - 压力相关认知表征的慢性激活。然而，特定种族的激进主义，如 Black Lives Matter (BLM) 激进主义，可能会削弱这种关联。鉴于此，目前的研究调查了 6 个月内跨两个时间点的种族歧视与抑郁症状之间的自回归和交叉滞后关联。我们还测试了坚持性认知和 Black Lives Matter 行动主义的两个领域——支持和行为——是否能缓和种族歧视与抑郁症状之间的交叉滞后关联。使用来自 232 名非裔美国人的数据，研究结果揭示了时间 1 种族歧视对时间 2 抑郁症状的显着交叉滞后效应（但 T1 抑郁症状对 T2 种族歧视没有交叉滞后效应）。这种交叉滞后效应受到坚持认知和对 BLM 激进主义的支持的调节，因此时间 1 种族歧视之间的关联仅与时间 2 的持续认知水平较低和 BLM 支持水平较低的抑郁症状相关。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。这种交叉滞后效应受到坚持认知和对 BLM 激进主义的支持的缓和，因此时间 1 种族歧视之间的关联仅与较低水平的坚持认知和较低水平的 BLM 支持下的时间 2 抑郁症状相关。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。这种交叉滞后效应受到坚持认知和对 BLM 激进主义的支持的调节，因此时间 1 种族歧视之间的关联仅与时间 2 的持续认知水平较低和 BLM 支持水平较低的抑郁症状相关。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
