Abstract

Critical social media literacy-the ability to critically evaluate and interpret racist social media content (critical consumption) and to produce and disseminate antiracist social media content (critical prosumption)-may help counter the negative psychological consequences of online racism, including internalized racism. We examined whether critical social media literacy (critical consumption and prosumption) buffered the association between online racism and internalized racism. We conducted latent moderated structural equation modeling to analyze online convenience data from 338 racially minoritized emerging adults (Mage = 23.28; Asian, n = 96; Black, n = 108; Latine, n = 118). Greater exposure to online racism was associated with significantly higher levels of internalized racism; critical consumption weakened this association, while critical prosumption did not. Results suggested that critical social media literacy, particularly consumption-the intellectual basis and analytical skills to apprehend racist digital content-can be effective in mitigating the internalized racism linked to online racism among racially minoritized emerging adults. Implications include translating these findings into antiracist interventions to counter online racism and its deleterious behavioral health consequences.

批判性社交媒体素养可缓冲网络种族主义对少数种族新兴成年人内化种族主义的影响。

批判性社交媒体素养--批判性地评估和解读种族主义社交媒体内容（批判性消费）以及制作和传播反种族主义社交媒体内容（批判性吸纳）的能力--可能有助于抵消网络种族主义的负面心理后果，包括内化的种族主义。我们研究了批判性社交媒体素养（批判性消费和赞成）是否能缓冲网络种族主义与内化种族主义之间的关联。我们采用潜在调节结构方程模型分析了 338 名少数种族新兴成年人（年龄 = 23.28；亚裔，n = 96；黑人，n = 108；拉丁裔，n = 118）的网络便利性数据。更多接触网络种族主义与更高水平的内化种族主义相关；批判性消费削弱了这种关联，而批判性吸纳则没有。研究结果表明，批判性社交媒体素养，尤其是消费--理解种族主义数字内容的知识基础和分析技能--可以有效地减轻与网络种族主义相关的内化种族主义。研究的意义包括将这些发现转化为反种族主义干预措施，以抵制网络种族主义及其对行为健康的有害影响。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
