Factor Analysis of the Parent Experience of Racial Socialization Scale
This investigation examined the factor structure and validity evidence for the Parent Experience of Racial Socialization Scale (PERS). Exploratory factor analysis found four interpretable factors accounting for 40% of the variance in the racial socialization construct. The identified factors were religion and spirituality, alertness to discrimination, mainstream, and cultural pride and coping. Correlation analyses indicated negative relationships…
John Henryism, Depression, and Perceived Social Support in Black Women
John Henryism, a construct developed to describe high effort coping, may help explain the observed health disparities between Blacks and Whites. Previous research suggests that John Henryism is associated with negative physical health factors. However, little research has focused on the relationship between John Henryism and psychological distress. Accordingly, in this exploratory study, we examined the relationships between John Henryism, psycho…
Racial Socialization, Racial Identity, and Race-Related Stress of African American Parents
This study examines the relationship between racial identity, race-related stress, and racial socialization messages of over 400 African American parents. Results suggest that parents with higher levels of private regard or pride about being African American, and nationalist ideology are more likely to give racial socialization messages. Parents who have experienced race-related stress are also more likely to engage in racial socialization. Addit…
Gendered racism, psychological distress, and coping styles of African American women
This study explores the relationship of the accumulative effect of gendered racism, the discrimination felt by African American women, on psychological distress. The study also explores whether coping serves as a mediating variable between gendered racism and psychological distress. Over 300 African American women participated in the study and were administered the Symptoms Checklist 90, a revised version of the Schedule of Sexist Events, and the…
An Exploration of African Americans' Interests and Self-Efficacy Beliefs in Traditional and Nontraditional Careers
Research on African Americans' career interests suggests that despite gains in education, African Americans have a tendency to major in and choose from a narrow range of occupations, namely, education and the social sciences. This study investigates several variables based on existing literature to identify the best predictors for interest in traditional occupations for 129 African American college students. Analyses show that gender and self-eff…
Sisters in Support Together Against Substances (Sistas)
This paper examines the existing literature for alcohol abuse prevention and treatment of African American women and offers a group counseling intervention to address the culturally specific needs of this population. The group, SISTAS: Sisters In Support Together Against Substances, includes a curriculum that focuses on key components such as spirituality, self-esteem, racial identity, social support and intimate relationships. The purpose of the…
Toward the Development of the Stereotypic Roles for Black Women Scale
Preliminary findings on the validation of the Stereotypic Roles for Black Women Scale (SRBWS) are presented. A sample of 186 African American women took the SRBWS along with the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the Racial Identity Attitude Scale-B. A confirmatory factor analysis supported a four-factor structure of the scale, and moderate reliability estimates were found for each of the interrelated but distinct subscales. Stepwise regression anal…
Racial Identity Attitudes, School Achievement, and Academic Self-Efficacy Among African American High School Students
Literature has postulated that African American students often choose not to succeed in school because achievement is seen as acting White. This study examined the extent to which racial identity, self-esteem, and academic self-concept were related to academic achievementfor 86African American high school students. The majority of students indicated supportfrom both peers and parents for their academic work. Multiple regression analysis indicated…
