OBJECTIVES Black Canadians report experiencing various forms of racial discrimination disproportionately. This study aimed to: (a) examine the association between everyday racial discrimination and self-esteem; (b) test the mediating role of internalized racism and social support in the association between racial discrimination and self-esteem, and (c) test the moderating role of gender and age in this same relationship. METHOD A total of 860 participants (76.60% female) aged 15-40 (Mage = 24.96, SD = 6.31) completed questionnaires assessing racial discrimination, self-esteem, internalized racism, and social support. Descriptive and moderated mediation analyses were performed. RESULTS A total of 65.33% of participants were categorized as endorsing low self-esteem, with no significant difference between males and females (66.67% and 62.20%, respectively; χ² = 1.56, p = .47). Participants aged 25-40 exhibited a higher prevalence of low self-esteem compared to those aged 15-24 (89.91% and 58.54%, respectively, χ² = 37.31, p < .001). The results showed a progressive increase in the prevalence of low self-esteem commensurate with increasing levels of reported racial discrimination. Internalized racism (β = -.09, SE = .01, p < .001) and social support (β = .10, SE = .01, p < .001) mediated the association between everyday racial discrimination and self-esteem; whereas gender moderated the latter association (β = .17, SE = .04, p < .001; being a woman). CONCLUSIONS Results indicate a strong association between racial discrimination and low self-esteem. These findings provide a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying the development of self-esteem problems among Black individuals in Canada. They also have important relevance for the development of educational and clinical programs for prevention and intervention. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

加拿大黑人中所感知的种族歧视、内在种族主义、社会支持和自尊：有调节的调解模型。


目标 加拿大黑人报告称，他们遭受过各种形式的种族歧视。本研究旨在： (a) 检验日常种族歧视与自尊之间的关联； (b) 检验内在种族主义和社会支持在种族歧视与自尊之间关系中的中介作用，以及 (c) 检验性别和年龄在同一关系中的调节作用。方法 共有 860 名 15-40 岁参与者（76.60% 女性）（Mage = 24.96，SD = 6.31）完成了评估种族歧视、自尊、内在种族主义和社会支持的调查问卷。进行了描述性和调节性中介分析。结果 共有 65.33% 的参与者被归类为低自尊，男性和女性之间没有显着差异（分别为 66.67% 和 62.20%；χ2 = 1.56，p = .47）。与 15-24 岁的参与者相比，25-40 岁的参与者表现出更高的低自尊患病率（分别为 89.91% 和 58.54%，χ2 = 37.31，p < .001）。结果显示，随着报告的种族歧视程度的增加，低自尊的患病率逐渐增加。内在种族主义（β = -.09，SE = .01，p < .001）和社会支持（β = .10，SE = .01，p < .001）调节日常种族歧视和自尊之间的关联；而性别调节了后一种关联（β = .17，SE = .04，p < .001；是女性）。结论 结果表明种族歧视与低自尊之间存在密切关联。这些发现使人们更好地了解加拿大黑人自尊问题发展的潜在机制。 它们对于制定预防和干预的教育和临床计划也具有重要意义。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
