Abstract

Objectives: Black people seek racism-specific support (RSS)-social support in response to racism-from same-race (vs. cross-race) friends because they feel more understood by Black friends. The present study tested whether supportive and responsive (i.e., validating) RSS from Black or non-Black friends differentially influenced friendship dynamics and factors associated with Black support-seekers' psychological well-being (e.g., affect).

Method: Same-race (Black/Black; n_dyad = 17) and cross-race (Black/non-Black; n_dyad = 29) friendship dyads (M_age = 20.25, SD = 3.26) discussed an experience of racism. Both friends rated the supportiveness and responsiveness of RSS (or support) and completed pre- and postconversation measures (e.g., affect, emotional closeness).

Results: Supportive and responsive RSS predicted increased closeness between same- and cross-race friends. Responsive RSS predicted increased postconversation positive affect for Black support-seekers talking to same-race (vs. cross-race) friends. Exploratory analyses revealed support-providers also perceived support-seekers as providing responsiveness during exchanges.

Conclusions: Responsive and supportive RSS predicted positive cross-race friendship outcomes, and responsive RSS, especially among same-race friends, predicted improvement in Black support-seekers' affective reactions associated with psychological well-being. Moreover, the role of seeking and providing support might be dynamic, particularly when Black friends talk about racism with other friends of color.

积极响应：在同种族和跨种族友谊中，为黑人大学生提供针对种族主义的响应性支持的益处。

目标：黑人寻求同种族（与跨种族）朋友的种族主义特定支持（RSS）--针对种族主义的社会支持，因为他们觉得黑人朋友更理解他们。本研究测试了黑人或非黑人朋友提供的支持性和回应性（即验证性）RSS是否会对友谊动态以及与黑人寻求支持者的心理健康（如情感）相关的因素产生不同影响：同种族（黑人/黑人；ndyad = 17）和跨种族（黑人/非黑人；ndyad = 29）友谊组合（Mage = 20.25，SD = 3.26）讨论了种族主义经历。双方朋友对RSS（或支持）的支持性和响应性进行评分，并完成对话前后的测量（如情感、情感亲密度）：支持性和响应性 RSS 预测同种族和跨种族朋友之间的亲密程度会增加。响应性 RSS 预测黑人寻求支持者与同种族（与跨种族）朋友交谈后的积极情感会增加。探索性分析表明，支持提供者也认为支持寻求者在交流过程中提供了响应：响应性和支持性 RSS 预测了跨种族友谊的积极结果，响应性 RSS，尤其是同种族朋友之间的响应性 RSS，预测了黑人支持寻求者与心理健康相关的情感反应的改善。此外，寻求和提供支持的作用可能是动态的，尤其是当黑人朋友与其他有色人种朋友谈论种族主义时。 (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)。
