Stigma and suicidal thoughts and behaviors among Black American emerging adults
Recent suicide rates among Black American emerging adults have increased sharply, outpacing other racial groups. Stigma plays a critical role in shaping risk for suicidal thoughts and behaviors; however, little research that has examined the ways in which perceptions of perceived public stigma and self-stigma/prejudice are related to suicidal thoughts and behaviors among Black American emerging adults. A sample of 1,224 Black American emerging ad…
Objectification and adultification of black girls in the USA
Gendered racism has a negative impact on Black girls in the USA and can contribute to their adultification and the objectification of their bodies, leading to poorer health outcomes. This study sought to analyse the historical and sociocultural factors that shape this sexual objectification and adultification. Intersectionality theory and objectification theory were used to frame our examination of how gendered racial stereotypes impact Black gir…

Network Analysis of Depression Symptoms in United States and South African University Students
Epidemiological data show cross-national variations in the prevalence rates of depression. Whether these variations in prevalence reflect actual differences in symptomatology or differential importance of depression symptoms across nations is unknown. Unlike more commonly applied methods, the network approach offers a viable framework for examining symptomatology across populations. We used regularized partial correlation network models to compar…
Racial, ethnic, and cultural expressions of interpersonal psychological theory of suicide (RECEIPTS)
Suicide risk is a significant public health concern for individuals and communities across the United States, and the rates of suicidality are disproportionately rising for Black Americans. Recent frameworks have articulated the significance of structural racism as a mechanism that may explain the increasing rates of suicide among Black Americans, in part, through its exacerbating effects on salient risk conferring pathways. However, existing sch…
And still, we rise
Findings highlight Black Americans' experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic and deepen our understanding of factors that exacerbate risk and promote resilience within the context of a global public health crisis. Implications for culturally responsive strategies to better support Black Americans' mental health needs are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved)
Racial discrimination and internalizing symptoms among Black youth
Racial discrimination represents a pervasive source of stress that is associated with internalizing symptoms such as anxiety and depression among Black youth. Emergent research suggests that the link between racial discrimination and internalizing symptoms may be influenced by individual and family level processes, such as youth age and parental racial worry. Building from this prior scholarship, the current study examined whether youth age and p…
Racial Trauma and Mental Health
Awareness of Racial and Ethnic Bias and Potential Solutions to Address Bias With Use of Health Care Algorithms
This qualitative study found that participants perceived widespread and increasing use of algorithms in health care and lack of oversight, potentially exacerbating racial and ethnic inequities. Increasing awareness for clinicians and patients and standardized, transparent approaches for algorithm development and implementation may be needed to address racial and ethnic biases related to algorithms
The Impact of Traumatic Events on Mental Health Among Older African American and Black Caribbean Adults
Objectives : This study examined the frequency and impact of traumatic events on the mental health of older African American and Black Caribbean adults. Methods : The current study used data from the National Survey of American Life of 1,135 African American and 426 Black Caribbean adults aged 50 and older. Analysis examined the impact of traumatic events on both positive (i.e., happiness and life satisfaction) and negative (i.e., depressive symp…
The Talk” Tells the Story
Black youth overwhelmingly experience racial discrimination (RD). Racial socialization (RS), or racial communication between families, mitigates RD stress by expanding youth coping strategies. Although most Black parents currently discuss racial content with their children, less is known about this RS quality. The burgeoning construct of RS competency, or the skills, confidence, and stress of RS transmission, explores these emotion-focused approa…
Depression and Suicide Ideation
Suicide is a leading cause of death for Black young adults. Though depression is commonly linked to increased risk for suicide, empirical literature examining the depression–suicide association and intrinsic buffers for this association remains limited among Black young adults. This study sought to address this gap in the literature by examining the relationship between depression and suicide ideation among Black young adults. Importantly, this s…
Interracial Dialogues in Dixie
Given the legacy of racial injustice and mistrust that continues to plague race relations in the United States, it is important that citizens of different racial backgrounds come together to share their feelings and thoughts about race issues in order to advance racial reconciliation in their own communities. Saunders (1999) asserts that such dialogues can transform interracial relationships that could inspire the larger community to change itsel…
‘That is why we raise children’
INTRODUCTION: The current study highlights the voices and perspectives of African American fathers, with specific emphasis on their race-related concerns for their adolescents as well as how these concerns guide their parenting strategies. METHOD: Twenty-four African American fathers participated in 1.5-3 h long focus group interviews. All fathers (M = 42.24 years, SD = 6.93) resided in a mid-sized city in the Southeastern United States. All part…
The moderating effect of dispositional forgiveness on perceived racial discrimination and depression for African American adults
These findings provide insight into the role of dispositional forgiveness in experiences of racial discrimination and suggest that cognitive flexibility serves as an adaptive coping strategy to experiencing discrimination. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved)
Non-Suicidal Self-Injury, Neuroticism, and Ethnic Identity in Young Latina Adults
Rates of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) are elevated among Latinas; however, few studies have examined patterns of NSSI and associated risk in this population. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between neuroticism and NSSI, along with the conditional effect of ethnic identity on such an association for first-, second-, and third-generation Latina young adults. Participants were 701 emerging adult Latinas who completed meas…
