Few studies have examined the similarities and differences between individuals from across the African diaspora in terms of racial identity and skin tone and how these might influence psychological adjustment (i.e., depression, anxiety, and positive affect). We explored this question in a sample of 326 Latinx black and non-Latinx black participants from the Northeast. Due to different ethnic identities, and possibly socialization experiences, we hypothesized that Latinx blacks would report lower levels of skin tone satisfaction and black racial centrality compared to non-Latinx blacks. For the same reason, we also hypothesized that the relationship between skin tone satisfaction and adjustment would be moderated by racial centrality such that it would be more protective for non-Latinx blacks than Latinx blacks. As expected, Latinx blacks reported significantly lower skin tone satisfaction (despite perceiving themselves as lighter) and black centrality compared to non-Latinx blacks. Skin tone satisfaction, but not black centrality, emerged as a significant predictor of psychological adjustment for the combined sample. Importantly, findings also revealed that while centrality was a protective factor for non-Latinx blacks, it was less impactful for Latinx blacks and may have functioned as a vulnerability factor. This study represents an important first step in disentangling important group differences within the African diaspora that can help inform research and treatment.

对拉丁裔黑人和非拉丁裔黑人来说,中心性是否会调节肤色满意度与心理适应之间的关系?

很少有研究从种族认同和肤色以及它们如何影响心理适应(即抑郁,焦虑和积极影响)的角度研究非洲侨民个体之间的异同。我们在来自东北的326名拉丁黑人和非拉丁黑人参与者的样本中探讨了这个问题。由于不同的种族身份,以及可能的社会化经历,我们假设与非拉丁裔黑人相比,拉丁裔黑人报告的肤色满意度和黑人种族中心度较低。出于同样的原因,我们还假设肤色满意度和适应性之间的关系将通过种族中心性得到调节,从而对非拉丁裔黑人比拉丁裔黑人更具保护性。不出所料 与非拉丁裔黑人相比,拉丁裔黑人报告的肤色满意度(尽管感觉自己更轻)和黑人中心地位明显降低。肤色满意度,而非黑色中心性,已成为组合样本心理调节的重要预测指标。重要的是,研究结果还显示,尽管中心性是非拉丁裔黑人的保护因素,但对拉丁裔黑人的影响较小,并且可能已成为脆弱性因素。这项研究代表了重要的第一步,可以消除非洲人散居群体中的重要群体差异,这有助于为研究和治疗提供参考。成为组合样本心理调节的重要预测指标。重要的是,研究结果还显示,尽管中心性是非拉丁裔黑人的保护因素,但对拉丁裔黑人的影响较小,并且可能已成为脆弱性因素。这项研究代表了重要的第一步,可以消除非洲人散居群体中的重要群体差异,这有助于为研究和治疗提供参考。成为组合样本心理调节的重要预测指标。重要的是,研究结果还显示,尽管中心性是非拉丁裔黑人的保护因素,但对拉丁裔黑人的影响较小,并且可能已成为脆弱性因素。这项研究代表了重要的第一步,可以消除非洲人散居群体中的重要群体差异,这有助于为研究和治疗提供参考。
