ABSTRACT Black Panther (2018) offers scholars a unique opportunity to measure the potential positive influence of the film on American youth, particularly youth of color. Past research demonstrated that, for African Americans, greater ethnic identity is associated with greater wellbeing and empowerment, findings we replicated here. We also studied the influence of the film on wellbeing and empowerment, considering the roles of ethnicity and character identification. Results showed a main effect of film on empowerment but not wellbeing in the entire sample, with no main effect or interaction with ethnicity. Further analysis by individual ethnic group revealed increased wellbeing for Asian American and Black/African American youth, and increased empowerment for Black/African American youth after film viewing. Identification with the character T’Challa/Black Panther was high across the sample and interacted positively with film on empowerment for Black/African American participants. This study demonstrates the potential for film to enhance and empower youth, particularly Black/African American youth, and raises intriguing questions about how the experience differs by ethnicity.

与种族多样化的年轻人一起观看《黑豹》：电影观看，种族，族裔认同，授权和福祉之间的关系

摘要《黑豹》（2018）为学者们提供了一个难得的机会，可以衡量这部电影对美国青年，尤其是有色青年的潜在正面影响。过去的研究表明，对于非洲裔美国人来说，更大的族裔认同感与更大的福祉和赋权联系在一起，我们在这里重复了研究结果。考虑到种族和角色识别的作用，我们还研究了电影对幸福感和赋权的影响。结果表明，电影对赋权有主要影响，但对整个样本却没有影响，没有影响或与种族互动。各个种族的进一步分析显示，观看电影后，亚裔美国人和黑人/非裔美国青年的福祉得到了提高，黑人/非裔美国人的青年也得到了增强。在整个样本中，具有T'Challa / Black Panther角色的身份很高，并且与有关黑人/非裔美国参与者的赋权电影具有积极的互动作用。这项研究表明电影具有增强青年，尤其是美国黑人/非裔美国青年的能力和潜力，并提出了有关体验如何因种族而异的有趣问题。
