OBJECTIVES This qualitative investigation examined how Black emerging adults cope with their worst experiences of racism at multiple levels (individual, cultural, and institutional). METHODS A sample of 189 Black emerging adults (M age = 19.34, 68.3% female) from a predominantly White institution completed an online questionnaire with an open-ended question regarding their worst experience of racism and how they coped. Responses to these questions were coded using deductive coding schemes based on established theory-Jones' (1997) tripartite model of racism and Harrell's (2000) typology of coping. RESULTS Results indicated that the majority of participants utilized active and inner-directed coping strategies in response to their worst experience. More participants responded to institutional-level racism with active rather than passive coping. There were no differences in proportions of participants who responded to individual- or cultural-level racism with active rather than passive coping. Similar proportions of participants also reported inner-directed versus outer-directed coping in response to individual-, cultural-, and institutional-level experiences. CONCLUSIONS Implications for practice, policy, and programming to support the mental health of Black emerging adults are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).

“说起来容易做起来难”：对黑人新兴成年人应对多层次种族主义的定性调查。

目标这项定性调查研究了黑人新兴成年人如何在多个层面（个人、文化和制度）应对他们最糟糕的种族主义经历。方法 来自以白人为主的机构的 189 名黑人新兴成年人（M 年龄 = 19.34，68.3% 为女性）完成了一份在线问卷，其中包含一个关于他们最糟糕的种族主义经历以及他们如何应对的开放式问题。对这些问题的回答使用基于已建立的理论-Jones (1997) 三方种族主义模型和 Harrell (2000) 应对类型学的演绎编码方案进行编码。结果 结果表明，大多数参与者使用积极的和内向的应对策略来应对他们最糟糕的经历。更多的参与者以主动而非被动的方式应对机构层面的种族主义。以主动而非被动应对方式回应个人或文化层面种族主义的参与者比例没有差异。类似比例的参与者还报告了针对个人、文化和机构层面经验的内向应对与外向应对。结论 讨论了对支持黑人新兴成年人心理健康的实践、政策和计划的影响。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）。类似比例的参与者还报告了针对个人、文化和机构层面经验的内向应对与外向应对。结论 讨论了对支持黑人新兴成年人心理健康的实践、政策和计划的影响。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）。类似比例的参与者还报告了针对个人、文化和机构层面经验的内向应对与外向应对。结论 讨论了对支持黑人新兴成年人心理健康的实践、政策和计划的影响。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
