A mixed methods study of self-compassion, academic adjustment, and mental health among Black college women.
Gendered Racial Identity, Positive Health Practices, and Mental Health Among Black Adult Women
In the current study, we analyzed data from a national sample of 501 Black women (18–35 years old, M = 27) to examine the associations between gendered racial identity beliefs, the Superwoman Schema, and positive health practices on women’s stress, anxiety, and depression. Gendered racial centrality and endorsement of the Superwoman Schema was associated with poorer mental health outcomes, while positive beliefs about being a Black woman were ass…

Early Intervention Against Male Supremacist Influences Among College Students
Male supremacist ideologies can incite violence against women and nonbinary people, including sexual violence, murder, and mass murder. Strategies for intervening against male supremacism are needed. College violence prevention practices may provide opportunities to develop such strategies. This critical needs assessment used an antifascist framework to analyze interviews with college staff about responding to male supremacist warning signs among…

Young Black American Women's Social Media Use and Online Victimization
Despite young Black women's high rates of social media use and risks for victimization at the nexus of sexism and racism, the relationship between these variables remains under researched in this segment. We surveyed 354 Black American women aged 18-30 to explore the associations between two aspects of social media use-time spent daily on social media platforms (i.e., Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, Tumblr, Twitter, and YouTube) and type o…
A Black feminist study of freedom, community care, and self-definition among Black college women attending predominantly White institutions
Far-Right Misogynoir
Amid the (re)surgence of far-right ideologies in the United States of America, we introduce the concept of far-right misogynoir as a lens for understanding Black women's experiences of white and male supremacist influences and actions. Using a qualitative case study, we examined individual interview data with 17 Black women college students (18–24 years) from a selective, predominantly white, liberal arts college in the Northeast. Using Black fem…
From Misogynist Incels to “One of the Shooters”
Male supremacist ideologies pose multiple threats to college sexual violence prevention efforts. Misogynist incels, among other male supremacists, are often unacknowledged in sexual violence prevention, yet may be influencing college students. This study applies antifascist principles to confront male supremacist influences in higher education. We conducted 17 semistructured interviews with college sexual violence prevention professionals that pr…
