Demonstrations led by right-wing extremist groups and racially motivated hate crimes have increased significantly since the 2016 election of Donald Trump (Edwards and Rushin in The effect of Trump’s election on hate crimes. Retrieved from: https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3102652, 2018). However, few studies have examined racially marginalized (RM) persons’ perceptions of such events or their potential impact on mental health for this population. Thus, the purpose of this investigation was to examine the association between RM individuals’ perceptions of the 2017 Unite the Right rally as a racially motivated hate crime and subsequent perceived stress. Additionally, we investigated the moderating role of interpersonal proximity (i.e., direct or indirect knowledge of someone personally affected by the events that occurred at the rally) in the relationship between hate crime perceptions and stress. Survey data were collected from 388 RM adults living in Virginia at the time of the rally. Our results suggest that perceiving the rally as a hate crime was positively associated with greater levels of stress. Moreover, interpersonal proximity moderated this association, such that the relationship between hate crime perceptions and stress was significant and positive for those who knew someone affected by the rally, but unrelated for RM people who did not know someone affected by the rally. Implications and future directions are discussed.

因为在特朗普的大选的影响2016年大选唐纳德·特朗普（Edwards和仓促，对仇恨犯罪由右翼极端组织和出于种族动机的仇恨犯罪带领示威显著上升取自：https://doi.org/10.2139/ ssrn.3102652，2018）。但是，很少有研究检查种族边缘化（RM）人群对此类事件的看法或其对该人群心理健康的潜在影响。因此，本次调查的目的是检验RM个人对2017年团结权利集会（出于种族动机的仇恨犯罪）的看法与随后的压力感之间的关联。此外，我们调查了人际关系接近性的调节作用（即 直接或间接了解某人受到集会中发生的事件影响的个人）在仇恨犯罪知觉和压力之间的关系。调查数据是在集会时从居住在弗吉尼亚州的388名RM成年人收集的。我们的结果表明，将集会视为仇恨犯罪与更大程度的压力成正比。此外，人际接近度调节了这种联系，以致仇恨犯罪知觉和压力之间的关系对于那些认识受集会影响的人来说是显着且积极的，而与那些不认识受集会影响的RM人无关。涵义和未来的方向进行了讨论。我们的结果表明，将集会视为仇恨犯罪与更大程度的压力成正比。此外，人际接近度调节了这种联系，以致仇恨犯罪知觉和压力之间的关系对于那些认识受集会影响的人来说是显着且积极的，而与那些不认识受集会影响的RM人无关。涵义和未来的方向进行了讨论。我们的结果表明，将集会视为仇恨犯罪与更大程度的压力成正比。此外，人际接近度调节了这种联系，以致仇恨犯罪知觉和压力之间的关系对于那些认识受集会影响的人来说是显着且积极的，而与那些不认识受集会影响的RM人无关。涵义和未来的方向进行了讨论。
