Goal-Striving Stress and Bodily Pain among Working-Age Black and White Americans
This study tests novel research questions regarding Black-White disparities in bodily pain and goal-striving stress (GSS). A largely overlooked chronic stressor, GSS measures the psychosocial strains of blocked opportunity and dashed aspirations. We address our research questions among a socioeconomically diverse sample of Black and White working-age adults from Nashville, Tennessee (2011-2014; n = 1,252). We find that White adults with low socio…
A Comparison of Physicians' and Nurse Practitioners' Use of Race in Clinical Decision-Making
Physicians had more knowledge of genetic variation and used patients' race less in the clinical decision-making process than NPs. We speculate that these differences may be related to differences in discipline-specific clinical training and approaches to clinical care. Further exploration of these differences is needed, including examination of physicians' and NPs' beliefs about race, how they use race in disease screening and treatment, and if t…
Physician Knowledge of Human Genetic Variation, Beliefs About Race and Genetics, and Use of Race in Clinical Decision-making
Primary Care Physicians' Collection, Comfort, and Use of Race and Ethnicity in Clinical Practice in the United States
Purpose: The clinical utility of race and ethnicity has been debated. It is important to understand if and how race and ethnicity are communicated and collected in clinical settings. We investigated physicians' self-reported methods of collecting a patient's race and ethnicity in the clinical encounter, their comfort with collecting race and ethnicity, and associations with use of race in clinical decision-making. Methods: A national cross-sectio…
Development and Psychometric Assessment of the Healthcare Provider Cultural Competence Instrument
This study presents the measurement properties of 5 scales used in the Healthcare Provider Cultural Competence Instrument (HPCCI). The HPCCI measures a health care provider's cultural competence along 5 primary dimensions: (1) awareness/sensitivity, (2) behaviors, (3) patient-centered communication, (4) practice orientation, and (5) self-assessment. Exploratory factor analysis demonstrated that the 5 scales were distinct, and within each scale it…
Physicians’ Anxiety Due to Uncertainty and Use of Race in Medical Decision Making
BACKGROUND: The explicit use of race in medical decision making is contested. Researchers have hypothesized that physicians use race in care when they are uncertain. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate whether physician anxiety due to uncertainty (ADU) is associated with a higher propensity to use race in medical decision making. RESEARCH DESIGN: This study included a national cross-sectional survey of general internists. SUBJECT…
Researching Black Communities
Experts from a range of disciplines offer practical advice for conducting social science research in racial and ethnic minority populations. Readers will learn how to choose appropriate methods—longitudinal studies, national surveys, quantitative analysis, personal interviews, and other qualitative approaches—and how best to employ them for research on specific demographic groups. The volume opens with a brief introduction to the difficulty of de…
Interpersonal discrimination and health-related quality of life among black and white men and women in the United States
Goal‐striving stress and the mental health of college‐educated Black American Men
The present study examined the relationship between goal-striving stress and well-being in a survey of 399 college-educated Black American men who were members of a Black fraternal organization. Regression analyses revealed that goal-striving stress was associated with decreased psychological well-being, controlling for demographics and various psychosocial factors. When asked to explain their failure to reach life goals, half of the men attribut…
Is race medically relevant? A qualitative study of physicians' attitudes about the role of race in treatment decision-making
Goal-Striving Stress and Racial Differences in Mental Health
Effects of Goal-Striving Stress on the Mental Health of Black Americans
Although many scholars have theorized about how responding to the stress of blocked opportunities can affect the well-being of black Americans, few scholars have empirically examined the relationships between striving efforts, personal goals, and mental health among black Americans. This investigation examines the relationship between goal-striving stress and mental health in a national sample of black Americans. Results indicate that goal-strivi…
Fostering Hope
In this article, the authors analyze the experiences of one participant in HOPE, a pilot program that supports teenage mothers who want to pursue a college education. Using feminist standpoint and social capital theories, the analysis explores the meaning of themes that are interwoven throughout four narratives about family, education, college/dreams, and HOPE. Some emergent themes, such as key relationships and client-centered learning environme…
Effects of Racial Discrimination and Health Behaviors on Mental and Physical Health of Middle-Class African American Men
This research is an examination of the effects of racial discrimination and health-promoting behaviors on the physical and mental health of a sample of 399 well-educated African American men. One would think that the attainment of higher education would increase health-promoting behaviors and might decrease discriminatory experiences that impact health. However, regression analysis indicated a more complex picture. Health-promoting behaviors were…
Money Equals Time
Using data drawn from the second wave of the National Study of Families and Households (n = 3,263), this study examines relationships between poverty status and hours spent doing housework. The measure of housework time was computed by summing self-reported estimates of the number of hours spent performing core domestic tasks such as ironing, preparing meals, and washing dishes. Hierarchical regression analysis indicates that compared to their no…
John Henryism and Self-Reported Physical Health Among High–Socioeconomic Status African American Men
We performed a cross-sectional survey of high–socioeconomic status (SES) African American men and their health to examine the relationship between John Henryism (the strong behavioral predisposition to directly confront barriers to upward social mobility) and selfreported physical health status. We found a positive association between John Henryism and better physical health among high-SES African American men. The study of social and behavioral …
Bonham Et Al. Responds
My coauthors and I are pleased that our brief research report stimulated Griggs and Mallinger’s letter to the editor and has provided the authors an opportunity to elaborate on our conclusions. That “African Americans who are less healthy have somehow failed to overcome barriers to achieve good health” was not a finding or a subtle conclusion of our study. Our perspective is more nuanced and recognizes the multiple factors that contribute to heal…
The Relationship between Internalization and Self-Esteem among Black Adults
We address whether individual variation in internalization of positive or negative racial stereotypes was associated with low levels of self-esteem in a national probability sample of 2,107 self-identified black adults interviewed face-to-face in 1980 (National Survey of Black Americans). Rejection of positive stereotypes and acceptance of negative stereotypes were statistically linked to declining levels of self-esteem, controlling for backgroun…
Being black and feeling blue
Feminist Attitudes Among African American Women and Men
Research on the intersection of race and gender suggests that, for African Americans, racial inequality is more salient than gender inequality. However, theoretical perspectives on the multiplicative effects of status positions and 'outsider within' models suggest that minority group membership can be a catalyst for the development of feminist attitudes. This article examines three issues central to feminism: (1) recognition and critique of gende…
