OBJECTIVE Using a constructivist-interpretivist paradigm and a Black feminist qualitative framework, this study investigated how Black students at a predominantly White university in the southeast defined racial trauma. METHOD A purposive sample of 26 participants (10 men and 16 women, aged 18-27) participated in a semistructured interview about their definitions of race-based stress and racial trauma. Data analysis consisted of a six-phase inductive, latent thematic analysis. Researcher reflexivity, interviews, observations, and research memos contributed to trustworthiness. RESULTS Participants' understandings of race-based stress and racial trauma-informed two composite definitions of racial trauma. Participants conceptualized racial trauma and race-based stress as related and identified three salient components of racial trauma: (a) "Sticking with": temporal component, (b) "Suffering severely": intensity component, and (c) "Repeating regularly": frequency component. CONCLUSIONS The findings of this study contribute to the existing literature by providing an academic and community definition of racial trauma grounded in the voices of Black collegians. These definitions of racial trauma may be used to inform future research, clinical services, and outreach. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).

“白人一直给我压力”：黑人学生定义种族创伤。


目的 本研究使用建构主义-解释主义范式和黑人女权主义定性框架，调查了东南部一所以白人为主的大学的黑人学生如何定义种族创伤。方法 有目的的 26 名参与者（10 名男性和 16 名女性，年龄 18-27 岁）参加了半结构化访谈，了解他们对种族压力和种族创伤的定义。数据分析包括六阶段归纳、潜在主题分析。研究人员的反思、访谈、观察和研究备忘录有助于提高可信度。结果参与者对基于种族的压力和种族创伤的理解形成了种族创伤的两种复合定义。参与者将种族创伤和基于种族的压力概念化为相关的，并确定了种族创伤的三个显着组成部分：（a）“坚持”：时间成分，（b）“严重痛苦”：强度成分，以及（c）“定期重复” ：频率分量。结论 这项研究的结果通过提供基于黑人大学生声音的种族创伤的学术和社区定义，对现有文献做出了贡献。这些种族创伤的定义可用于为未来的研究、临床服务和外展提供信息。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
