Race-related stress, dissociation symptoms, and suicidal thoughts and behaviors in a community sample of Black Americans
Findings suggest race-related stress and dissociation symptoms are critical to consider when determining risk for suicidal thoughts and behaviors among Black Americans in underserved communities. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
Racial Discrimination and Fear‐Based Symptoms
Racial discrimination (RD) increases the risk of fear‐based disorders, such as anxiety and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and alters activity in brain regions important for fear extinction in adults. However, little is known about these associations in adolescence—a key period for the emergence of these disorders—especially among Black youth, who frequently experience RD. This study examined RD's links to anxiety, PTSD symptoms, fear extin…
Attentional Control Moderates the Relationship Between Race-Related Stress and Emotion Dysregulation in a Highly Trauma-Exposed Population of Black Women
Race-related stress contributes to emotion regulation difficulties and influences stress-related coping practices among Black women. Attentional control, a factor related to emotion regulation and coping, may shape this process; however, little research has explored its role. The present study examined whether attentional control may moderate the association between race-related stress and dimensions of emotion regulation. Participants were 84 Bl…
Predicting aggressive behaviors
Aggression is a costly public health problem with severe and multi‐faceted negative consequences and thus, identifying factors that contribute to aggression, particularly in understudied populations, is necessary to develop more effective interventions to reduce the public health cost of aggression. The goal this study was to test whether difficulties regulating emotions moderated the association between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) sympt…
Blood-derived deoxyribonucleic acid methylation clusters associate with adverse social exposures and endophenotypes of stress-related psychiatric illness in a trauma-exposed cohort of women
Adverse social exposures (ASEs) such as low income, low educational attainment, and childhood/adult trauma exposure are associated with variability in brain region measurements of gray matter volume (GMV), surface area (SA), and cortical thickness (CT). These CNS morphometries are associated with stress-related psychiatric illnesses and represent endophenotypes of stress-related psychiatric illness development. Epigenetic mechanisms, such as 5-me…
Adverse childhood experiences in African Americans
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) disproportionately impact African Americans because of profound subjection to historical-systemic oppression in addition to personal and intergenerational trauma exposure. This article utilizes a biopsychosocial-cultural framework to understand the correlates of ACE exposure in African Americans and attends to the cultural factors that contribute to resilience. We review the evidence base for culturally inform…
Cognitive and neural facets of dissociation in a traumatized population
Dissociative phenomena are frequently experienced by psychologically traumatized people. However, little is known about the cognitive profiles of highly dissociative traumatized individuals, and corresponding patterns of neural connectivity when attentional networks are engaged in the context of emotion. One hundred seventeen traumatized women completed the multiscale dissociation inventory (MDI) and neuropsychological testing; MDI scores were us…
Food addiction and substance addiction in women
A Pilot Study of the Effects of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction on Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms and Brain Response to Traumatic Reminders of Combat in Operation Enduring Freedom/Operatio…
This study shows that MBSR is a safe and effective treatment for PTSD. Furthermore, MBSR treatment is associated with changes in brain regions that have been implicated in PTSD and are involved in extinction of fear responses to traumatic memories as well as regulation of the stress response
Childhood Trauma and Comt Genotype Interact to Increase Hippocampal Activation in Resilient Individuals
Both childhood trauma and a functional catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) genetic polymorphism have been associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression; however, it is still unclear whether the two interact and how this interaction relates to long-term risk or resilience. Imaging and genotype data were collected on 73 highly traumatized women. DNA extracted from saliva was used to determine COMT genotype (Val/Val, n = 38, Me…
