Abstract

Objective: Although race-related stress is associated with numerous mental health outcomes, no previous research has examined associations with ADHD symptoms. We examine how such associations differ in Black Americans based on racial identity to allow for more nuanced understandings of racial discrimination's association with ADHD symptoms.

Methods: This study asked a sample of Black Americans to answer questionnaires assessing race-related stress, ADHD symptoms, and racial centrality.

Results: In predicting ADHD symptoms, we found a positive effect of race-related stress and a negative effect of centrality. At low levels of centrality, the association between ADHD symptoms and race-related stress was stronger than at mean and high levels of centrality. Through additional sub-group analyses we found the interaction effect not replicating in one of our conditions.

Conclusion: These results suggest experiences of race-related stress and racial identity are important factors for consideration in the treatment of ADHD symptoms.

种族主义和种族中心性对多动症症状的交互影响。

目的：尽管与种族有关的压力与许多心理健康结果有关，但以前的研究从未考察过与多动症状的关联。我们研究了美国黑人在种族身份基础上的这种关联差异，以便更细致地了解种族歧视与多动症状的关联：本研究要求美国黑人样本回答问卷，评估与种族相关的压力、多动症症状和种族中心性：结果：在预测多动症状方面，我们发现种族相关压力有积极影响，而中心性有消极影响。在中心度较低的情况下，多动症症状与种族相关压力之间的联系要强于中心度平均值和较高的情况。通过额外的分组分析，我们发现在其中一种情况下，交互作用效应并不重复：这些结果表明，种族相关压力体验和种族认同是治疗多动症症状的重要考虑因素。
