Methodological Challenges and Insights in Research on Racial Discrimination and Substance Use Among Black College Students
Uncovering Responses”
This study investigates the emotional responses of Black parents in Missouri to racial violence, revealing three distinct types of emotional responses: negative emotions (feelings that induce distress or discomfort), neutral emotions (feelings that are neither positive nor negative), and positive emotions (feelings that induce joy or satisfaction). We explored a range of emotions expressed by parents using the Multiple Affect Adjective Checklist …
Perceived discrimination, mental health help-seeking attitudes, and suicide ideation, planning, and attempts among black young adults
Our findings offer valuable insights into the complex interplay between experiences of discrimination, attitudes toward seeking mental health support, and suicidal behaviors. However, our research also underscores how experiences of discrimination can significantly exacerbate feelings of isolation, hopelessness, and inadequacy, further contributing to suicidal behaviors in this population. By promoting positive mental health help-seeking behavior…

The purpose of this study is to investigate the interrelationships among religious involvement, racial discrimination, and psychological outcomes among a nationally representative sample of African American adolescents and Caribbean Black adolescents from the National Survey of American Life. Multiple regression models were used to d…

Comparing Associations Between Perceived Puberty, Same-Race Friends and Same-Race Peers, and Psychosocial Outcomes Among African American and Caribbean Black Girls
Despite indications that adolescent peer relations is a mediator of associations between early pubertal timing and psychosocial problems, extant studies have not explicitly examined race or ethnic-related variables that shape the peer experiences of early developers. This study compared associations between pubertal timing, same race-friends, same-race peers, and psychosocial outcomes (school bonding, academic grades, externalizing behaviors, and…
Academic Identity
Adolescence is a vulnerable period for the development of academic identification and academic persistence, particularly among African American adolescents. The present study investigated how cultural assets (i.e., private regard and racial centrality) and academic assets (i.e., academic curiosity and academic self-esteem) influence African American adolescent boys' ( n = 109) and girls' ( n = 153) academic persistence over time. Additionally, we…

Racial identity and depressive symptoms among Black emerging adults
In the current study, we explored patterns of change in Black emerging adults' racial identity beliefs during the transition to adulthood, assessed neighborhood racial composition effects on Black emerging adults' racial identity beliefs, and tested the moderating effects of neighborhood racial composition on the associations between Black emerging adults' racial identity beliefs and depressive symptoms over time. Participants in the current stud…
