This article investigates the association between skin tone and mental health in a nationally representative sample of black adolescents. The mediating influences of discrimination and mastery in the skin tone–mental health relationship also are considered. Findings indicate that black adolescents with the darkest skin tone have higher levels of depressive symptoms than their lighter skin tone peers. This is not the case for mental disorder. For disorder, a skin tone difference appeared only between black adolescents with very dark skin tone and black adolescents with medium brown skin tone. Discrimination partially mediates the association between skin tone and depression, while mastery fully mediates this association, indicating that the impact of skin tone on depression operates primarily through lower mastery. Similar patterns were observed for disorder. By extending the discussion of skin tone and health to black adolescents and treating skin tone as a set of categories rather than a linear gradient, I provide new insights into the patterning of skin tone and depression/disorder.

重新审视肤色的成本:黑人青少年的歧视,精通和心理健康

本文研究了全国代表性的黑人青少年样本中肤色与心理健康之间的关系。在肤色和心理健康关系中,歧视和掌握的中介影响也要考虑在内。研究结果表明,肤色较暗的黑人青少年的抑郁症状要比肤色较浅的黑人高。精神障碍并非如此。对于疾病,肤色差异仅出现在肤色很深的黑人青少年和肤色中等的黑人青少年之间。歧视部分地介导了肤色和抑郁之间的关联,而精通则完全介导了这种关联,这表明肤色对抑郁的影响主要是通过较低的精通来实现的。观察到相似的规律。通过将肤色和健康的讨论扩展到黑人青少年,并将肤色作为一组类别而不是线性渐变来对待,我为肤色和抑郁/不适的模式提供了新的见解。
