Abstract

Objectives: Research on prosocial behavior among Black¹ Americans should account for the daily realities that many face, including racial discrimination and cultural resources which may provide sources of resilience amidst injustice, such as religiosity and spirituality. We assessed whether racial discrimination, religiosity, and existential well-being (EWB) are related to the odds of engaging in prosocial behaviors for Black men.

Method: Using data from a community-dwelling sample of 171 Black men in the United States, we used logistic regression tests to assess whether racial discrimination, organizational religiosity, personal religiosity, and EWB were associated with Black men's volunteering, mentoring, and charitable giving. We also examined whether racial discrimination moderated the association between religiosity and prosocial behavior.

Results: Discrimination was not significantly associated with Black men's odds of engaging in prosocial actions. Odds of volunteering were significantly greater among Black men who reported more regular involvement at their religious institutions. Personal religiosity was also significantly associated with greater odds of mentoring youth and charitable giving. Discrimination did not significantly moderate any associations.

Conclusions: Black men's faith is a relevant contributor to their prosocial action. Religious institutions and psychologists can work collaboratively in supporting this positive trajectory. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

信仰的力量：美国黑人男性中的种族歧视与宗教信仰。

目标：对美国黑人亲社会行为的研究应考虑到许多人面临的日常现实，包括种族歧视和文化资源，这些资源可能在不公正中提供复原力，如宗教信仰和精神信仰。我们评估了种族歧视、宗教信仰和存在幸福感（EWB）是否与黑人男性参与亲社会行为的几率有关：我们使用来自美国 171 名黑人男性的社区居住样本数据，通过逻辑回归测试来评估种族歧视、组织宗教信仰、个人宗教信仰和存在幸福感是否与黑人男性的志愿服务、指导和慈善捐赠相关。我们还研究了种族歧视是否调节了宗教信仰与亲社会行为之间的关系：结果：歧视与黑人男性参与亲社会行为的几率无明显关联。据报告，经常参与宗教机构活动的黑人男性参与志愿服务的几率明显更高。个人宗教信仰也与指导青少年和慈善捐赠的几率明显相关。歧视并没有明显缓和任何关联：结论：黑人男性的信仰与他们的亲社会行动息息相关。宗教机构和心理学家可以合作支持这一积极的轨迹。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
