Gendered Racism and Mental Health
Do gendered racial microaggressions predict hypervigilance over and above racial microaggressions among college-aged Black women over time
Although there has been an increase in research on Black women and microaggressions, the purpose of this study was to examine the relations between two types of microaggressions-racial and gendered racial microaggressions-and hypervigilance, a known symptom of anxiety and posttraumatic stress disorder. We were also interested in whether gendered racial microaggressions accounted for variance over and above racial microaggressions in predicting hy…
Does exposure to race-related stress lead to attention biases? Examining the moderating roles of anxiety and racial identity among Black adults
These unexpected results suggest that exposure to racism may lead to an avoidant attentional bias away from White threatening faces but that this process may be contingent on trait anxiety and racial centrality. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved)
Stereotype Confirmation Concerns and Anxiety Symptoms in African American Women
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Improves Well-being in Healthy Black Women
Intimate Partner Violence and Barriers to Leaving Among Low-Income African American Women
I can do bad all by myself”
Findings from this study suggest that Black women experience impairing depressive symptoms, which can be explained by race and gender-specific stress-coping ideologies and behaviors, specifically, the SBW schema. Furthermore, the SBW schema is a factor that may contribute to adverse mental health outcomes among Black women vis-à-vis decreased support-seeking beliefs. We discuss the implications of these findings and how these results can help fac…

Can a culturally-responsive Mobile health (mHealth) application reduce African Americans’ stress
Life Stress, Depression, and Religious Coping Among Low-Income African American Women
Racial Identity Profiles and Indicators of Well-Being in Suicidal African American Women
Gendered Racial Microaggressions and Emotional Eating for Black Young Adult Women
Black young adult women's stress experiences are shaped by intersecting racism and sexism. To respond to this stress, some Black young adult women engage in emotional eating, which may threaten their health. Yet processes in the association between gendered racial microaggressions and emotional eating for Black young adult women remain unclear. In the current study, we used cross-sectional online survey data from a 2021 national investigation of …
Perinatal Complications, Poor Hospital Treatment, and Positive Screen for Postpartum Depressive Symptoms Among Black Women
Initial Construction and Validation of the Identity Shifting for Black Women Scale
In this study, we aimed to develop and validate the Identity Shifting for Black Women Scale (ISBWS), which assesses the process of altering one’s speech, perceptions, behaviors, and appearance to navigate experiences of discrimination and to enhance intraracial relationships. In Study 1, data from 356 Black women in the United States were used for exploratory factor analysis. Exploratory factor analysis results supported a 15-item, two-factor sol…
Examining Racial Discrimination’s Association With Depressive Symptoms Through Metadehumanization Among African Americans
Though considerable empirical work has documented the ways in which African Americans are dehumanized by other racial groups, there is no research examining how perceiving dehumanization (i.e., metadehumanization) is associated with the mental health of African Americans. In this study, we examined the indirect effect of racial discrimination on depressive symptoms through metadehumanization and explored whether this indirect effect was contingen…
Racism’s (un)worthiness trap
Reducing self-coldness in the face of racism can be a promising, individual-level wellness strategy for African Americans. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
Toward a socially just diversity science
We argue that intersectional mixed methods research includes four tenets: (1) research questions prioritize multiply marginalized BIPOC individuals, (2) the multiple realities of BIPOC individuals are honored and embraced, (3) identity-related variables (e.g., self-reported discrimination) are studied alongside systems-level variables (e.g., structural racism), and (4) scholars engage in critical reflexivity. We also propose that intersectional m…
Racial Identity Profiles Among Suicidal Black Women
Despite increasing rates of suicidality among African American women, relatively little is known about culturally-specific factors relevant to their suicidality. Thus, our objectives were to: (1) determine whether previously-identified racial identity profiles replicated in a clinical sample of African American women and (2) examine whether profiles differed on suicidal ideation, hopelessness, and depressive symptoms. In a sample of 198 low-incom…
Africultural Coping Systems Inventory
The Africultural Coping Systems Inventory (ACSI) assesses African Americans' culturally relevant stress coping strategies. Although its factor structure, reliability, and validity of the scores have been examined across ethnic groups of African descent, psychometric properties have not been investigated in an African American clinical sample. Thus, it is unclear if the ACSI is useful for research with African Americans with distress. To assess th…
Psychosocial Mediators Between Intimate Partner Violence and Alcohol Abuse in Low-Income African American Women
Intimate partner violence (IPV) exposure can increase alcohol use. Although African Americans use less alcohol compared with European Americans, African American women experience disparate rates of IPV, potentially intensifying their alcohol abuse. We used data from 171 African American women to test if IPV was related to alcohol abuse and if psychosocial factors-loneliness, embarrassment, fear of harm, hope, social support, childcare needs, and …
Self-Criticism and Depressive Symptoms
Self-compassion is gaining recognition as a resilience factor with implications for positive mental health. This study investigated the role of self-compassion in alleviating the effect of self-criticism on depressive symptoms. Participants were 147 urban, low-income African Americans with a recent suicide attempt. They were administered measures of self-criticism, depressive symptoms, and self-compassion. Results from this cross-sectional invest…
Childhood Abuse, Intrapersonal Strength, and Suicide Resilience in African American Females who Attempted Suicide
Strong Black Woman Schema and Psychological Distress
The Strong Black Woman (SBW) schema has been associated with injurious health consequences among African American women. However, research is needed to identify the mechanisms implicated in the SBW schema that contribute to these negative outcomes. The present study investigated if perceived emotional support mediated the link between the SBW schema and psychological distress among African American women. Data were collected from 158 participants…
