Abstract

People of color cope with racial stigma daily. In this context, support and acceptance from people who share similar racial/ethnic backgrounds can take a special importance. In two studies, using a national U.S. sample (n = 1618) and a term-long weekly-diary design (n = 103), Black, Latine, and Asian students received more support and acceptance from close same-race (vs. interracial) relationships. Compared to White participants, Black and Latine participants reported greater support and acceptance from their relationships. Furthermore, greater support and acceptance in same-race relationships predicted greater flourishing and lower depressive affect, even after controlling for support and acceptance in interracial relationships. These results underscore the importance of same-race relationships for people of color in the U.S. In conjunction with practices addressing structural barriers, opportunities to connect with same-race peers can nurture the flourishment of people of color in the U.S. and possibly other contexts in which they are stigmatized.

当皮肤族是亲属时:更高的感知支持和接受度是有色人种与同种族(相对于跨种族)关系密切的特征

有色人种每天都要面对种族歧视。在这种情况下，拥有相似种族/民族背景的人的支持和接受可能具有特别重要的意义。在两项研究中，使用美国全国样本(n = 1618)和一个长期的每周日记设计(n = 103)，黑人，拉丁裔和亚洲学生从亲密的同种族(相对于跨种族)关系中获得更多的支持和接受。与白人参与者相比，黑人和拉丁裔参与者从他们的关系中获得了更多的支持和接受。此外，在同种族关系中，更多的支持和接受预示着更大的繁荣和更低的抑郁情绪，即使在控制了跨种族关系中的支持和接受之后也是如此。这些结果强调了同种族关系对美国有色人种的重要性，结合解决结构性障碍的做法，与同种族同龄人联系的机会可以促进美国有色人种的繁荣，甚至可能在其他有色人种被污名化的环境中。
