“He Came Out, and He Did This”: Hope Among Formerly Incarcerated Black Men
Hope is central to the development of a strengths-based approach to understanding the lived experiences of formerly incarcerated Black men, given that the disproportionate and negative impact of the criminal legal system appears to overshadow the possibilities during reentry. Through qualitative interviews, we explored formerly incarcerated Black men’s conceptualization of hope using an abductive approach and thematic analysis. Moving between Sny…
Siasa na Jamii: Pressing Social Concerns and Civic Engagement Among Secondary School Students in Tanzania

Contributors to this issue address the diverse lived experiences of people of the Global Majority and prioritize the reclamation of epistemologies and perspectives that have been marginalized, excluded, or erased from most applications and practices…
The Ancestors are Pleased: The Scholarly and Mentoring Contributions of Suzette Speight
For some, social justice is a value. For others, it is an action verb and how they enact their values daily. For Dr. Suzette Speight, social justice was core to who she was, which was evident through her many scholarly contributions to counseling psychology, Black psychology, and beyond, through her mentoring and leadership, and through her impact on countless students, peers, and community members. If you knew Suzette, you know she did not hold …
Epistemological oppression and racism—Failure to see the forest from the trees: Reply to Mckay and Koppelman-White (2025) and Strambler (2025)
The critiques of Sue et al. (see record 2025-04512-010) by McKay and Koppelman-White (see record 2026-59464-001) and Strambler (see record 2026-59464-002) are examples of being trapped by a White Western epistemology/ontology that prevents them from "seeing the forest from the trees." They cling to an unenlightened view of Enlightenment values, attribute racism in counseling and psychotherapy to reside primarily in individual therapists and not i…
Justice & Joy: Transforming Healing Praxis in Counseling Psychology and Beyond
Amid today's polycrisis—marked by global violence, chaos, and uncertainty—there is an urgent imperative for healing. In this reimagined presidential address, I advocate for centering justice and joy as powerful forces for healing, which is a core value of the Society of Counseling Psychology (SCP). I share SCP's yearlong activities exploring personal and collective healing. Drawing from interdisciplinary research, critical dialogue, and my experi…
Racism in counseling and psychotherapy: Illuminate and disarm
For the first time in its 130-year history, the American Psychological Association formally admitted to its ugly racist past and acknowledged how White supremacy continues to pervade the profession. Although the apology spans the entire field of psychology, the primary focus of this article is on how the profession of counseling and psychotherapy has reinforced and contributed to the oppression of people of color. First, we contend that psycholog…
Professional Development for Providing Time and Opportunities for Change in U.S. Teachers’ Ethnic-Racial Identity
The purpose of this qualitative study was to describe teachers' perceptions of changes in their ethnic-racial identity after completing professional development designed to support facilitation of a school-based ethnic-racial identity student curriculum – the Identity Project. We analyzed interview data from 11 U.S. high school educators (four Teachers of Color; seven White Teachers) who completed 32 training hours and post-program individual int…
Police Recruits’ Cognitive Engagement in a Racial Literacy Education Program: Does Racial Ideology Matter
Studies suggest shorter term racial diversity education is ineffective in changing police officers’ attitudes and behaviors, partly due to strong emotional reactions and resistance to this type of content ( Schlosser, 2013 ; Zimny, 2015 ). In this investigation, we explored across two studies whether police recruits’ racial beliefs were related to their level of cognitive engagement in a racial literacy education program. Consistent with the rese…
Coming home: A grounded theory analysis of racial–ethnic–cultural belonging among students of color
Construction and validation of the Racially Biased Reasoning Scale: A measure of beliefs about police interactions with people of color
Across two studies, our findings provide initial psychometric support for the RBias-Police; this new measure captures both affective and cognitive dimensions of biased reasoning. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
An emerging youth‐centered model of community resilience in communities impacted by gun violence: Power through Black Community and Unity
Studies commonly examine resilience as an outcome by way of measuring the degree to which protective factors maintain individuals' well‐being despite the presence of significant risk. In this study, we developed a model of community resilience that centered the voices of Black youth. Using data collected as part of a 3‐year, youth participatory action research project, we developed a model that focuses on what 11 Black youth perceive and believe …
Black Lives Matter and Nigrescence Theory: When Police Violence Triggers an Encounter
Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a social movement. The video recording of the death of George Floyd represented a collective Encounter that spread across the United States and the globe via various social media platforms with startling immediacy. In this manuscript, the authors apply Nigrescence theory to the BLM protests of 2020. We argue that Nigrescence theory provides a framework to understand catalysts to individual and collective activism and t…

Ethnocultural Empathy and Racial Colorblindness Among White Police Recruits: Do Cross-Racial Friendships Matter
We investigated how ethnocultural empathy and colorblind racial beliefs were associated through the racial composition of close friendship groups in police recruits. In a sample of White police recruits in a midwestern training academy ( N = 192), mediation analyses revealed a significant association between ethnocultural empathy and colorblind racial beliefs through Black friendships. Specifically, findings from path analyses indicated an indire…
Examination of Social Justice Behaviors: Testing an Integrated Model
In this study, we tested an integrated model of social justice behaviors among a community sample of 179 Asian American and White American adults. The integrated model builds on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and sociopolitical development theory (SPD). Findings from path analyses provided partial support for the integrated model. Specifically, social justice awareness, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control were uniquely and po…
Resistance and restoration: Healing research methodologies for the global majority
Objectives: Recently, research has focused both on the influence of institutional racism and how the Global Majority, which includes Black, Indigenous and People of Color, heal from processes related to racial and other forms of oppression. We propose a framework of healing research methodologies that is situated within emerging diversity science trends. This framework specifically is designed to apply diversity science principles to develop rese…
The public psychology for liberation training model: A call to transform the discipline
Written against the backdrop of the 2020 twin pandemics of a global health crisis and greater national awareness of structural racism, this article issues a call for psychology to invest in training all psychologists to respond to the social ills of racial and other forms of oppression. We introduce a public psychology for liberation (PPL) training model. Essentially, the model reflects a science, a pedagogical commitment, and practice of, by, an…
Radical hope in revolting times: Proposing a culturally relevant psychological framework
Growing research supports the link between individual expressions of hope and psychological well‐being. In this paper, we draw on psychological theories of hope, racial and ethnic studies, and the literature on radical healing to propose a framework of radical hope. Although the proposed multidimensional framework integrates cultural practices of People of Color in the United States, it is flexible enough to be adapted to other contexts. The pape…

Dr. Heppner has influenced counseling psychology in immeasurable ways. He is internationally recognized for his research on applied problem-solving and research methods, widely acknowledged for his visionary and collaborative leadership style, and highly respected for his culturally informed mentoring. In t…
Community Healing and Resistance Through Storytelling: A Framework to Address Racial Trauma in Africana Communities
Racial trauma, an ongoing consequence of historical trauma, has deleterious effects on the well-being of Africana communities. The psychological literature primarily reflects individual processes in the relationship between racial trauma and healing. Going beyond individualistic approaches, we present a community healing framework informed by multidisciplinary scholarship: Community Healing and Resistance Through Storytelling ( C-HeARTS). Three m…
Racial trauma: Theory, research, and healing: Introduction to the special issue
Racial trauma, a form of race-based stress, refers to People of Color and Indigenous individuals' (POCI) reactions to dangerous events and real or perceived experiences of racial discrimination. Such experiences may include threats of harm and injury, humiliating and shaming events, and witnessing racial discrimination toward other POCI. Although similar to posttraumatic stress disorder, racial trauma is unique in that it involves ongoing individ…
Forging Diversity‐Science‐Informed Guidelines for Research on Race and Racism in Psychological Science
As race and racism continue to be important subjects of research in psychology, guidelines for scholarship in this domain of inquiry are strongly needed. Drawing from the foundations of previous discussions of diversity science, we propose five principles that can help scholars conduct generative research on race and racism. Specifically, research on race and racism is strengthened when scholars: (1) are mindful of historical patterns of oppressi…
Introduction to the Special Issue on Race and Racism
Racism plays a fundamental role in institutions, intergroup and interpersonal relations, and intrapersonal life. Although some areas of research in psychology have made progress toward addressing issues of race and racism, the discipline continues to grapple with questions of racial inequality. Given the persistence of racism, it seems as important as ever that researchers in psychology direct our efforts toward understanding the role of race in …
Ideology Matters: College Students’ Emotional Reactions to the Killing of Trayvon Martin
Building on previous theory and research, we explored the associations among race, intergroup ideologies and emotional reactions to the killing of Trayvon Martin and the acquittal of George Zimmerman among 298 Black and White college students. We also examined the indirect effect of ethnocultural empathy on the links between race, intergroup ideologies, and emotional responding. Using latent class analysis, we identified three latent intergroup i…
Construction and initial validation of the Color-Blind Racial Attitudes Scale (CoBRAS)
The purpose of this investigation was to develop a conceptually grounded scale to assess cognitive aspects of color-blind racial attitudes. Five studies on the Color-Blind Racial Attitudes Scale (CoBRAS) with over 1,100 observations provide initial reliability and validity data. Specifically, results from an exploratory factor analysis suggest a 3-factor solution: Unawareness of Racial Privilege, Institutional Discrimination, and Blatant Racial I…
Construction and initial validation of the Gendered Racial Microaggressions Scale for Black women
The purpose of this study was to develop a measure of gendered racial microaggressions (i.e., subtle and everyday verbal, behavioral, and environmental expressions of oppression based on the intersection of one's race and gender) experienced by Black women by applying an intersectionality framework to Essed's (1991) theory of gendered racism and Sue, Capodilupo, et al.'s (2007) model of racial microaggressions. The Gendered Racial Microaggression…
Toward a Psychological Framework of Radical Healing in Communities of Color
Advancing beyond individual-level approaches to coping with racial trauma, we introduce a new psychological framework of radical healing for People of Color and Indigenous individuals (POCI) in the United States. We begin by providing a context of race and racism in the United States and its consequences for the overall well-being of POCI. We build on existing frameworks rooted in social justice education and activism and describe a form of heali…
Mentoring relationships for youth: Investigation of a process‐oriented model
We investigated a process‐oriented model of mentoring using data on 50 relationships in a Big Brothers/Big Sisters program. Data were collected on a monthly basis from both mentors and youth over a one‐year period; relationship benefits for youth were assessed at the end of the year by each type of informant. The degree to which relationships were continued throughout the one‐year period also was assessed. Path analyses using both youth and mento…
Racism, Mental Health, and Mental Health Practice
In this article, the authors present an interdisciplinary discussion of the multiple dimensions of racism and formulate conceptions of its impact on the formation of healthy personalities. They describe how racism has both ideological and structural components and perpetuates itself recursively at the macro-(e.g., group, institution) and microlevels (e.g., interpersonal). As one consequence of its embedded, cyclical nature, efforts to treat clien…

Color-Blind Racial Ideology and Psychological False Consciousness Among African Americans
The relations between color-blind racial beliefs (i.e., denial and distortion of the existence of racism) and dimensions of PFC (i.e., false beliefs that serve to work against one's individual or group interest) among 211 African Americans was investigated. Findings indicated that greater endorsement of color-blind racial beliefs was related to the three dimensions of PFC investigated, including higher levels of (a) victim blame attributions of r…
Changes in White college students’ color-blind racial ideology over 4 years: Do diversity experiences make a difference
In this longitudinal study, we explored how White students' (N = 857) color-blind racial ideology (CBRI; i.e., beliefs that serve to deny, minimize, and/or distort the existence of racism) changed over time and the factors associated with these patterns of change. Specifically, we investigated whether gender, diversity attitudes (i.e., openness to diversity and interest in social issues), and college diversity experiences (i.e., diversity-related…
The Relationship Between Racial Identity Cluster Profiles and Psychological Distress Among African American College Students
One hundred eighty-two African American college students completed the Racial Identity Attitudes Scale. Results from the multivariate categorization scheme revealed 5 types of empirically derived racial identity attitude profiles: "dissonance internalization" (34%), "committed internalization" (30%), "cngaged internalization" (21%), "undifferentiated racial identity" (8%), and "dormant racial identity" (7%). The profiles significantly differed on…
Examination of the Link Between Parental Racial Socialization Messages and Racial Ideology Among Black College Students
The relations between racial socialization and color-blind racial beliefs (i.e., the denial, distortion, or minimization of racism) among 153 Black American college students, including 34 college student-parent dyads, were examined. Findings from open-ended data indicate that participants identified receiving both protective (i.e., messages about the presence of racism) and proactive (i.e., messages focusing on individual and group strengths) rac…
African American College Women's Body Image: An Examination of Body Mass, African Self-Consciousness, and Skin Color Satisfaction
The purpose of this study was to examine general and cultural factors associated with body image perceptions of African American women college students. A total of 124 African American college women attending a historically Black college completed the following scales: African Self-Consciousness (ASC) scale, the Skin Color Satisfaction Scale (SCSS), the Body Mass Index (BMI), and several body image measures. Results from simultaneous multiple reg…
Examining the Relation Between Racial Identity Attitude Clusters and Psychological Health Outcomes in African American College Students
Using Cross's expanded Nigrescence theory, this study examined the relation between patterns of racial identity attitudes and mental health outcomes among a sample of 317 Black American college students. Racial identity attitudes were operationalized using the Cross Racial Identity Scale, and the mental health outcomes assessed included subjective well-being, hardiness, and general psychological health. Results from a cluster analysis indicated a…
Exploring the association between color-blind racial ideology and multicultural counseling competencies
The authors examined the association between color-blind racial ideology and self-reported multicultural counseling competencies in 130 applied psychology students and mental health workers. Results from 1 sample (n = 79) indicated that greater levels of color-blind racial ideology as measured by the Color-Blind Racial Attitudes Scale (Neville, Lilly, Duran, Lee, & Browne, 2000) were (1) related to lower self-reported multicultural counseling awa…
General and Culture-specific Factors Influencing African American Women's Reporting Patterns and Perceived Social Support Following Sexual Assault: An Exploratory Investigation
This exploratory investigation is one of the first studies to empirically investigate both general and culture-specific factors influencing African American women's post-sexual assault behaviors. Twenty-nine African American sexual assault survivors completed a paper-and-pencil survey and a semistructured interview. Findings from this investigation offer some support suggesting that both general and culture-specific factors contribute to women's …
The Influence of Religiosity and Spirituality on Psychological Well-Being Among Black Women
The influence of religiosity and spirituality on psychological well-being was examined among a sample of 167 Black American women in this web-based study. Findings suggest direct links between both religiosity and spirituality and psychological well-being. Moreover, results from bootstrapping procedures indicated that spirituality fully mediated the relation between religiosity and global mental health and between religiosity and life satisfactio…
African American Women Survivors of Sexual Assault: The Intersection of Race and Class
More attention has recently focused on the psychological experiences of women survivors of sexual assault. However, little work has examined the experiences of African American women survivors, particularly with regard to the impact of race and class on survivors' experiences. We address these limitations by presenting a socio-historical analysis of African American women's rape experiences. This analysis considers the relationship between sexual…
General and Culturally Specific Factors Influencing Black and White Rape Survivors' Self-Esteem
Grounded in a culturally inclusive ecological model of sexual assault recovery framework, the influence of personal (e.g., prior victimization), rape context (e.g., degree of injury during last assault), and postrape response factors (e.g., general and cultural attributions, rape related coping) on self-esteem of Black and White college women, who were survivors of attempted and completed rape, were examined. As predicted, Black and White women i…
Racial awakening: Epiphanies and encounters in Black racial identity
Findings extend our understanding of the process in which people develop a sense of racial consciousness. Insights may help inform future researchers in terms of identifying racial awakening prototypic stories and counselors in terms of providing opportunities to assist individuals in the meaning-making process.

Racial Socialization, Color-Blind Racial Ideology, and Mental Health Among Black College Students: An Examination of an Ecological Model
The ecological model of racial socialization (EMRS) was tested among a sample of 207 Black college students from a predominately White Midwestern university. The EMRS explored the relations between the racial composition of participants' social contexts and racial socialization provided by both parent and peer sources. In addition, the model addressed the relations among racial socialization provided by multiple sources, color-blind racial ideolo…
The Need for a Counseling Psychology Model Training Values Statement Addressing Diversity
The authors articulate the need for a Counseling Psychology Model Training Values Statement Addressing Diversity (henceforth “Values Statement”). They discuss the historic unwillingness of the field to address values in a sophisticated or complex way and highlight the increasingly common training scenario in which trainees state that certain professional requirements are in conflict with their personal values. The authors explain that the Values …
Beliefs about affirmative action: A test of the group self-interest and racism beliefs models
Two models of affirmative action attitudes (i.e., group self-interest and racism beliefs) were examined among a sample of racially diverse college students. Open-ended questions were included to provide students an opportunity to elaborate on their beliefs about affirmative action and beliefs about the existence of racial discrimination. Findings from logistic regression analysis on a subsample (n 376) provide support for both models; race (a pro…

Kufundisha: Toward a Pedagogy for Black Studies
At its inception, Black studies aimed to revolutionize the research and teaching of the Black experience. In part, the new discipline has accomplished its mission. During the past 25 years, Black studies scholars have radically transformed how scholars study the African American experience. Before the development of Black studies, African American life and history were studied predominantly through the lens of the race relations paradigm. Scholar…
Revolutionary Black Feminism: Toward a Theory of Unity and Liberation
Our Participation in the Black Radical Congress (BRC) and in particular the debate and discussion occurring within its Black Feminist Caucus (BFC) led us to rethink and redevelop the concept of Revolutionary Feminism. Discussions with other black feminists at the Congress led us to conclude that much work is needed to further develop the relationship between black feminist theories and concrete struggles to liberate working-class and poor black w…

“We Make Freedom”: An Exploration of Revolutionary Black Feminism
Since the inception of Black studies, Black women activists and scholars have carved out an intellectual space to uncover, (re)define, contextualize, and validate Black women's realities. These efforts have manifested themselves in various related developments, including the initiation of Black women's studies (see Brewer, 2000; Hull & Smith, 1997) and the proliferation of explicitly Black feminist/womanist theories and analyses over the past two…
In Protection of Ourselves: Black Girls' Perceptions of Self-Reported Delinquent Behaviors
The purpose of this study was to explore Black adolescent girls' perceptions of self-reported delinquent behaviors. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 Black girls enrolled in alternative schools designated for “delinquent” adolescents.

Race and Racism in Counseling Psychology Research, Training, and Practice: A Critical Review, Current Trends, and Future Directions
The modern civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s radically transformed practice and research in applied psychology, at least in terms of its understanding of race and racism. Rapid changes in psychology generally and in counseling psychology specifically occurred on the coattails of the Black, Brown, and women power activities during the volatile years of the late 1960s and early 1970s (Carter, 2005; Heppner, Casas, Carter, & Stone, 2000).…
