Black Men’s Gendered Racial Equity Ethic: Examining Its Impact on Career Motivations, Interests, and Future Goals
Black men are underrepresented as trainees and faculty within graduate-level helping professions (e.g., psychology and counseling). One strategy for reducing this underrepresentation is to understand the motivating factors that attract Black men to helping fields and integrate these motivating factors into recruitment and retention interventions targeting this group. However, limited career research has explicitly focused on the motivations of Bl…
Toward a Communities of Color Cultural Strengths Model for Counseling Psychology Training
Advancing the field’s exploration of cultural strengths and expanding conceptions of the factors that contribute to wellness, we introduce a new model, the communities of color cultural strengths model (CCCSM). In this paper, we begin by exploring connections among counseling and positive psychologies as well as psychologies of communities of color (CC) to provide a backdrop of how these areas are complementary. We then discuss Black psychology a…
Mending fragile alliances to fight racism: A developing framework for cross-racial/ethnic solidarity
In today's sociopolitical climate (e.g., erasure of history, increase in anti-Asian violence, repeal of affirmative action), the fragility of minoritized alliances has become more prominently exposed. Cross-racial/ethnic solidarity work, which is broadly defined as joining a resistance through physical presence or activism against common oppression (Araiza, 2009), is an important response to this sociopolitical shift. Solidarity work between mino…
Examining Psychosociocultural Influences as Predictors of Black College Students’ Academic Self-Concept and Achievement
Using the psychosociocultural framework, this study concurrently examined the influence of psychological (academic self-concept and academic engagement attitudes), social (caring student-faculty relationships), and cultural variables (racial centrality and perceived university environment) on the academic achievement of Black college students. Participants were 247 Black collegians recruited from a large, Southwestern predominately White institut…
Student–faculty interactions and psychosociocultural influences as predictors of engagement among Black college students
It's Like Power to Move: Black Students' Psychosocial Experiences in Black Studies Courses at a Predominantly White Institution
This study examined Black students' experiences in culture-centered courses that focused on the historical and contemporary experiences of Blacks in America and across the African diaspora. Using a qualitative approach, the authors investigated the perceptions of how Black Studies courses shaped the psychosocial experiences and identity development of Black students (N = 24) at a predominantly White institution. Data from semistructured focus gro…
An Examination of the Impact of Racial and Ethnic Identity, Impostor Feelings, and Minority Status Stress on the Mental Health of Black College Students
This study examined ethnic identity, racial centrality, minority status stress, and impostor feelings as predictors of mental health in a sample of 218 Black college students. Ethnic identity was found to be a significant positive predictor of mental health, whereas minority status stress and impostor feelings were significant negative predictors. Although ethnic identity was the strongest predictor of mental health, racial centrality represented…
Exploring the Impact of Increasing the Number of Black Men in Professional Psychology
The underrepresentation of Black men in professional psychology represents a critical issue, but this topic has received relatively limited coverage in the extant literature. Given the complex challenges facing many Black communities, we contend that increasing the number of African American male professional psychologists represents one component of the multi-pronged plan to tackle these problems. However, there is a dearth of scholarship that e…
The moderating role of gender in the relationship between religiosity and mental health in a sample of black American college students
In the current study gender was tested as a moderator of the relationship between religiosity and mental health among 218 black American college students. It was hypothesised that black women would be higher in religious engagement than black men, and that gender would moderate the relationship between religiosity and mental health. Contrary to hypotheses, no significant gender differences in religious engagement were found. However, moderated mu…
