We used data from the adult reinterview portion of the National Survey of American Life (Jackson, Torres, et al., 2004 Jackson, J. S., Neighbors, H. W., Nesse, R. M., Trierweiler, S. J. and Torres, M. 2004. Methodological innovations in the National Survey of American Life.. International Journal of Methods in Psychiatric Research, 13: 289–298. [Crossref] , [Google Scholar]) to investigate the relationships of John Henryism Active Coping Scale (James, Hartnett, & Kalsbeek, 1983 James, S. A., Hartnett, S. A. and Kalsbeek, W. D. 1983. JH and blood pressure differences among Black men.. Journal of Behavioral Medicine, 6: 259–276. [Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]), Social Dominance, and Stratification Beliefs to depressive symptoms as measured by the Center for Epi-demiologic Studies Depression Scale (Radloff, 1977 Radloff, L. S. 1977. The CES-D scale: A self-report depression scale for research in the general population.. Applied Psychological Measurement, 1: 385–401. [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]). Social Dominance and Stratification Beliefs (American Values) were identified from a factor analysis. The results indicate significant interaction effects for John Henryism and American Values for White Americans and Caribbean Blacks but not for African Americans. We found a strong positive effect between John Henryism and depressive symptoms for Whites with high levels of Stratification Beliefs. For Whites with low Stratification Beliefs, depressive symptoms remained constant as John Henryism increased. Among Caribbean Blacks, John Henryism showed a significant interaction with Social Dominance. Among Caribbean Blacks, there was a linear positive relationship between John Henryism and depressive symptoms for all levels of Social Dominance except for those with the highest endorsement for which there was no linear relationship. We discuss the findings within the context of psychosocial risk and protective factors and the need for more research on cultural processes, acculturation, and mental health
