Abstract

Although it is well-documented that school-based racial discrimination can have adverse effects on African American adolescents, the understanding of how socio-emotional factors can act as safeguards is still limited. This study explores whether emotion regulation, mentor support, and parent racial socialization help African American boys cope with school-based racial discrimination. Factors such as emotion regulation are internal assets, while mentor support and parent racial socialization are external resources. Four hundred and eighty-seven African American boys aged 12 to 18 (M = 14.33; SD = 1.62) participated. School-based racial discrimination correlated negatively with psychological well-being. Only emotion regulation and parental racial socialization were related to positive psychological well-being. However, mentor support buffered against the negative impacts of school-based racial discrimination on psychological well-being. These results underscore the significance of assets and resources in bolstering African American boys' resilience against school-based racial discrimination, with implications for interventions and future research.

种族社会化、导师支持和情绪调节对美国黑人男孩心理健康的影响》（The Influence of Racial Socialization, Mentor Support, and Emotion Regulation on the Psychological Well-Being of African American Boys）。

尽管学校种族歧视会对非裔美国青少年产生不利影响的文献记载很多，但人们对社会情感因素如何发挥保障作用的了解仍然有限。本研究探讨了情绪调节、导师支持和父母的种族社会化是否有助于非裔美国男孩应对学校的种族歧视。情绪调节等因素是内部资产，而导师支持和家长种族社会化则是外部资源。487名12至18岁的非裔美国男孩（中=14.33；小=1.62）参加了此次研究。基于学校的种族歧视与心理健康呈负相关。只有情绪调节和父母的种族社会化与积极的心理健康有关。然而，辅导员的支持缓冲了学校种族歧视对心理健康的负面影响。这些结果强调了资产和资源对增强非裔美国男孩抵御学校种族歧视的能力的重要意义，并对干预措施和未来研究产生了影响。

期刊介绍： Journal of Youth and Adolescence provides a single, high-level medium of communication for psychologists, psychiatrists, biologists, criminologists, educators, and researchers in many other allied disciplines who address the subject of youth and adolescence. The journal publishes quantitative analyses, theoretical papers, and comprehensive review articles. The journal especially welcomes empirically rigorous papers that take policy implications seriously. Research need not have been designed to address policy needs, but manuscripts must address implications for the manner society formally (e.g., through laws, policies or regulations) or informally (e.g., through parents, peers, and social institutions) responds to the period of youth and adolescence.
