Using the theory of resilience and relational load as a framework, this study examined whether a stress reduction or a stress-buffering model best explained risk and resilience in interracial–interethnic relationships in the United States when managing stigma from one’s social network. Eight hundred and sixteen Black and Latinx individuals in heterosexual relationships with a White, non-Latinx partner completed the survey. The stress reduction model was a better representation of individuals’ experiences in Latinx–White relationships and the stress-buffering model was a better representation of individuals’ experiences in Black–White relationships. For Latinx individuals, greater relationship maintenance received from one’s White partner and stronger levels of communal orientation were associated with reductions in stigma-related stress and conflict, which in turn, were associated with better relationship satisfaction and less relational load. For Black individuals, relationship maintenance and communal orientation moderated the associations between stress/conflict and the relational outcomes, but in unexpected ways.

美国跨种族-跨种族关系的复原力：评估关系维护和社区取向作为对网络污名的保护

本研究以复原力和关系负荷理论为框架，检验了在管理来自一个人的社交网络的污名时，减轻压力或压力缓冲模型是否最能解释美国种族间关系中的风险和复原力。816 名与非拉丁裔白人伴侣有异性恋关系的黑人和拉丁裔人士完成了调查。压力减轻模型更好地代表了个人在拉丁裔白人关系中的经历，而压力缓冲模型更好地代表了个人在黑白关系中的经历。对于拉丁裔个人，从一个人的白人伴侣那里获得更多的关系维护和更强的公共导向水平与减少与污名相关的压力和冲突有关，而这反过来又与更好的关系满意度和更少的关系负担有关。对于黑人个体来说，关系维护和公共取向缓和了压力/冲突与关系结果之间的关联，但以意想不到的方式。
