Abstract

Racial microaggressions are a significant source of stress for people of color. This study identified two support message features for disarming the effects of racial microaggressions and tested reasons for their effectiveness. In a between-groups design, Black/African Americans ( n = 387), and Asian Americans ( n = 374) evaluated a support message crafted by a friend in response to one of six racial microaggressions. Participants perceived high person-centered, racial identity-affirming, and combination support messages as more effective and collective self-esteem enhancing than low quality message versions. Person-centered emotional support and combination messages were partly related to enhanced collective self-esteem through cognitive reappraisal and reattribution, while racial identity affirmation message quality was partly related to enhanced collective self-esteem through reattribution. Conditional process analyses determined that indirect effects were not contingent on participants’ race. Practical and theoretical implications of studying support messages to address racial microaggressions are discussed.

社会支持在消除种族微侵犯效应中的作用

种族微侵犯是有色人种压力的重要来源。这项研究确定了消除种族微侵犯影响的两个支持信息特征，并测试了其有效性的原因。在群体间设计中，黑人/非裔美国人（n = 387）和亚裔美国人（n = 374）评估了一位朋友针对六起种族微侵犯事件中的一起精心制作的支持信息。参与者认为，与低质量的信息版本相比，以个人为中心、种族认同肯定和组合支持的信息更有效，更能增强集体自尊。以人为中心的情感支持和组合信息部分与通过认知重新评价和再归因增强集体自尊有关，而种族认同肯定信息质量部分与通过再归因增强群体自尊有关。条件过程分析确定，间接影响不取决于参与者的种族。讨论了研究支持信息以解决种族微侵犯的实际和理论意义。
