Black women are uniquely located at the intersection of two marginalized identities which puts them at risk of experiencing a combined discrimination known as gendered racism. Among Black Women, experiencing increased gendered racism is associated with higher poorer mental health which includes higher levels of anxiety and depression. To cope with these experiences of gendered racism, Black women often engage in identity shifting by adjusting one’s behavior and language to conform to environmental norms. Paradoxically, having a strong sense of one’s gendered racial identity has been theorized to potentially protect Black women from the detrimental effects of gendered racism. Two hundred thirty nine young adult U.S. Black women, between the ages of 18 and 35, completed an online survey to examine the role of identity shifting and gendered racial identity centrality on the established link between gendered racism and mental health outcomes, specifically anxiety and depression symptoms. The results indicated that identity shifting did not moderate the associations between gendered racism and anxiety nor depression symptoms. Separate moderation analyses indicated that gendered racial identity centrality moderated the effect of identity shifting on depression but not on anxiety symptoms. These findings highlight the importance of considering identity factors when proposing theories and clinical practices that seek to reduce mental health concerns among young adult U.S. Black women.

美国年轻成年黑人女性的性别种族主义和心理健康:性别种族身份中心性和身份转变的调节作用

黑人妇女独特地处于两种边缘化身份的交叉点,这使她们面临遭受称为性别种族主义的综合歧视的风险。在黑人女性中,经历更多的性别种族主义与更糟糕的心理健康有关,其中包括更高水平的焦虑和抑郁。为了应对这些性别种族主义的经历,黑人女性经常通过调整自己的行为和语言以符合环境规范来进行身份转变。矛盾的是,从理论上讲,对自己的性别种族认同有强烈的认识,可以潜在地保护黑人女性免受性别种族主义的不利影响。239 名年轻的美国黑人女性,年龄在 18 到 35 岁之间,完成了一项在线调查,以检查身份转变和性别种族身份中心对性别种族主义与心理健康结果(特别是焦虑和抑郁症状)之间既定联系的作用。结果表明,身份转移并没有缓和性别种族主义与焦虑或抑郁症状之间的关联。单独的缓和分析表明,性别种族身份中心性缓和了身份转移对抑郁症的影响,但对焦虑症状没有影响。这些发现强调了在提出旨在减少美国年轻成年黑人女性心理健康问题的理论和临床实践时考虑身份因素的重要性。特别是焦虑和抑郁症状。结果表明,身份转移并没有缓和性别种族主义与焦虑或抑郁症状之间的关联。单独的缓和分析表明,性别种族身份中心性缓和了身份转移对抑郁症的影响,但对焦虑症状没有影响。这些发现强调了在提出旨在减少美国年轻成年黑人女性心理健康问题的理论和临床实践时考虑身份因素的重要性。特别是焦虑和抑郁症状。结果表明,身份转移并没有缓和性别种族主义与焦虑或抑郁症状之间的关联。单独的缓和分析表明,性别种族身份中心性缓和了身份转移对抑郁症的影响,但对焦虑症状没有影响。这些发现强调了在提出旨在减少美国年轻成年黑人女性心理健康问题的理论和临床实践时考虑身份因素的重要性。单独的缓和分析表明,性别种族身份中心性缓和了身份转移对抑郁症的影响,但对焦虑症状没有影响。这些发现强调了在提出旨在减少美国年轻成年黑人女性心理健康问题的理论和临床实践时考虑身份因素的重要性。单独的缓和分析表明,性别种族身份中心性缓和了身份转移对抑郁症的影响,但对焦虑症状没有影响。这些发现强调了在提出旨在减少年轻美国黑人女性心理健康问题的理论和临床实践时考虑身份因素的重要性。
