Gendered Racial Microaggressions and Black Women’s Mental Health
Gendered racial microaggressions refer to subtle, yet psychologically injurious, interpersonal experiences rooted in racial and gender oppression. As a manifestation of gendered racism, Black women commonly report such experiences, yet this research primarily focuses on younger (e.g., college-attending) adults. Whether gendered racial microaggressions are most salient at specific life course stages (i.e., emerging versus older adulthood) remains …
Investigating the Effects of Racial Identity on the Relationship Between Black Women’s Endorsement of Eurocentric Beauty Standards and Psychological Health
The Relationship Between the Imposter Phenomenon and Mental Health in Black Graduate Students
Research has established a positive relationship between the impostor phenomenon and poor mental health outcomes among Black graduate students. However, the literature is scarce on psychosocial factors that could moderate this relationship. The present study investigated Black graduate students' ( N = 200) experiences of impostorism and whether perceived social support moderated the relationship between impostor phenomenon and symptoms of depress…
Controlling images and standards of beauty shapes body image
OBJECTIVES: Controlling images and racialized stereotypical myths inform Eurocentric and cultural standards of beauty that shape Black American women's body image and well-being. Cultural responsiveness is crucial in understanding the lived experiences of Black American women, the systemic oppressive factors that subjugate them, and the impacts on their mental health. DESIGN: An integrative review was conducted on controlling images and racialize…
Anticipatory Race‐Related Stress and Depressive Symptoms Among U.S. Black Women Attending a Historically Black University
In an era of police brutality and the Black Lives Matter movement, many Black Americans believe that racism is a mainstay of U.S. culture. Even if not experiencing racial threats or violence directly, racial tension can induce stress via anticipatory race-related stress (ARRS). Drawing from theories of social stress and the intersectionality framework, this study examined the association between ARRS and depressive symptoms among Black women atte…
I Could Feel His Sadness and Disdain as He Told Me
Prior research suggests that vicarious (i.e., indirect or second-hand) racism is harmful to psychological health; moreover, the psychological impacts of vicarious racism may be especially distressing for Black women. Nevertheless, because much of the vicarious racism and mental health literature has been quantitative, the broader contexts in which vicarious racism occurs are poorly understood. Although qualitative literature has explored vicariou…
Do Resilience and Social Support Moderate the Association between Race-Related Stress on Black Women’s Reports of Trauma Symptoms
Flashback to a War Zone”
The pandemic in 2020 commenced a particularly turbulent era of racial unrest, social injustice, and violence toward Black women. Drawing from Black feminist and intersectionality theories, this qualitative inquiry explored Black women's experiences of racism and sexism during the racial pandemic. Two hundred forty-one Black women shared their narratives and reflections. The analysis revealed two major themes: (a) racialized violence and harassmen…
PrEP Use and Adherence among Transgender Persons in Chicago, IL (SHIPP Study, 2014–2018, USA)
Gendered Racial Microaggressions, Psychosocial Resources, and Depressive Symptoms among Black Women Attending a Historically Black University
The current study integrates stress process model and intersectionality framework to explore psychological effects of an intersectional stressor experienced by black women: gendered racial microaggressions (GRMs). Prior research suggests GRMS negatively influence black women's mental health. However, it is unclear whether specific dimensions of GRMS are more or less impactful to mental health. This study investigates: To what extent do black wome…
They #Woke
Background/Context Though Black Americans have long suffered under racial tyranny, they have made valiant efforts to subvert policies and practices that encroach on their humanity. Nevertheless, systemic racism has been virtually unyielding—creating both racial hierarchies and disparities in access to resources and wellness. Programs designed to address the condition of Black people, particularly Black youth, often employ deficit or dysfunctional…
Community, love, and culture
To address the tension between public education norms and the lived experiences of racially marginalized students, this study examines how Brother to Sister (BTS), a community group, promotes sense of belonging and college access among Black high school students using the school as a primary dialogical space. Specifically, through qualitative assessment, this study interprets the pedagogy of Brother to Sister through narrative accounts of how the…
Faculty members’ responses to implementing re-envisioned EdD programs
Limitations of the education doctorate (EdD) and the emergence of professional practice doctorates have influenced those offering the EdD to re-envision, re-define, and reclaim the EdD as the degree of choice for the next generation of educational leaders. Colleges of education faculty members have used the Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate's (CPED) working principles to redesign EdD programs to make them more relevant to educational le…
