Abstract

Objectives: Disproportionate exposure to childhood adversity and the effects of racial discrimination take a toll on Black American men's mental health. Despite increasing rates of suicidal behaviors and thoughts among young adult, Black American men, few longitudinal studies examine their risk for suicidal and death ideation (SDI). We tested a developmental model linking childhood adversity (experiences of deprivation and threatening experiences) and emerging adult exposure to racial discrimination to increases in SDI and examined a potential mechanism for these effects, negative relational schemas.

Method: A sample of 504 Black men (M_age = 20.7) from rural Georgia were recruited with respondent-driven sampling and completed a baseline survey. Men participated in two additional follow-up surveys (M_age = 21.9 and M_age = 23.5). Hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling.

Results: Analyses largely supported the proposed model. Childhood adversities were associated directly with reports of SDI. Childhood deprivation indirectly predicted SDI via negative schemas (β = 0.03, 95% CI [.014, .046]). Racial discrimination also indirectly predicted SDI via negative relational schemas (β = 0.01, 95% CI [.001, .018]).

Conclusion: Study results suggest that clinical and preventive interventions for suicidality should target the influence of racism and adverse experiences and the negative relational schemas they induce. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).

童年逆境和种族歧视预示着成年黑人男子的自杀和死亡意念：纵向分析。

目标：童年时期不成比例的逆境和种族歧视对美国黑人男性的心理健康造成了损害。尽管美国黑人男性青壮年自杀行为和想法的发生率不断上升，但很少有纵向研究对他们的自杀和死亡意念（SDI）风险进行调查。我们测试了将童年逆境（匮乏经历和威胁经历）和成年后遭受种族歧视与自杀和死亡意念增加联系起来的发展模型，并研究了这些影响的潜在机制--消极关系图式：方法：通过受访者驱动的抽样调查从佐治亚州农村地区招募了 504 名黑人男性（Mage = 20.7），并完成了基线调查。他们还参加了另外两次跟踪调查（年龄 = 21.9 和年龄 = 23.5）。我们使用结构方程模型对假设进行了检验：分析结果基本支持所提出的模型。童年逆境与 SDI 报告直接相关。童年贫困通过消极图式间接预测 SDI（β = 0.03，95% CI [.014, .046]）。种族歧视也会通过消极关系模式间接预测 SDI（β = 0.01，95% CI [.001, .018]）：研究结果表明，针对自杀倾向的临床和预防干预措施应针对种族主义和不良经历的影响及其诱发的消极关系模式。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有）。
