  • Silenced & Marginalized

    Chelsie E Dunn, Calvin J Hall et al.ARTICLEHealth Communication2025

    Using gendered racism theory, we explored the relations between partner communication, ethnic identity affirmation, and stress appraisal of silencing and marginalizing gendered racial microaggressions (e.g. expressions intended to ignore, challenge, or make Black women feel invisible) on Black emerging adult women's condom-use intentions. We hypothesized that Black emerging adult women with a lower ethnic identity affirmation who rarely discuss s…

    Given the disproportionate impact of COVID-19, it is important to understand factors that may underlie Black American emerging adults' adherence to safety guidelines that could potentially reduce spread of illness and hospitalization. The current study examined how COVID-19 worry about mental health (CWMH) and COVID-19 worry about physical health (CWPH) predicted use of face masks, and whether perceived discrimination moderated these relations. T…

Additionally, the extent to which students were raised in predominantly minoritized neighborh…

    Open AccessChelsea L Derlan, Ashlynn D Bell et al.ARTICLECultural Diversity & Ethnic…2023References: 18

    Findings highlight that mothers' engagement in risky behaviors, grandmothers' ethnic discrimination experiences, and family economic hardship contribute to children's greater internalizing behaviors. However, in some of these relations, children's positive ERI attitudes and mothers' cultural socialization are protective. In future research and programming, a consideration of the role of individual, family, and cultural factors will be important f…

  • Role of Self-Objectification & Gendered Racial Microaggressions on Black Women's Body Appreciation

    Open AccessChelsie E Dunn, Alison J Patev et al.ARTICLEJournal of Black Psychology2023Cited by: 1References: 40

    The subtle sexual objectification and dehumanization of Black women have a long history throughout Western society. However, few scholars have explored how sexually objectifying gendered racial microaggressions (GRM) events detract from Black women's positive body image attitudes. Accordingly, this study investigated the moderating role of sexually objectifying GRM on the association between self-objectification and Black women's body appreciatio…
