African-centered spirituality was hypothesized to influence the severity of racism-related psychological outcomes, such that greater use of this strategy would be associated with less severe psychological symptoms in relation to forms of racism exposure. Hierarchical regression analyses were performed to test the study hypotheses. Statistically significant interaction effects revealed that low use of African-centered spirituality was associated with greater severity in somatization, depression, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in relation to increased exposure to cultural and institutional racism. Significant interactions were also revealed between individual racism and African-centered spirituality in predicting obsessive-compulsive and somatization symptoms, which suggested that greater use of this strategy was associated with an increase in symptoms in relation to increased exposure to this form of racism. The overall findings suggest that high use of African-centered spirituality is not an effective coping strategy to manage all forms of racism.","PeriodicalId":47588,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Black Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138998738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, we consider the extent to which Black mother’s descriptions about supporting their children’s freedom involve new cultural and social norms that integrate personal wellness with collective social justice practices. We used consensual qualitative research methods to analyze semi-structured interview data from 31 Black mothers (28–50 years, M = 35, SD = 6.03) with children ranging from 6 months to 21 years old. We identified the following themes: promoting pro-Black critical consciousness, encouraging self-authentic expression through socioemotional support, and building strength and resistance through community care. Overall, we found that mothers viewed raising free, Black children as an inherent act of social justice, since they hoped to help their children learn to identify oppressive forces and engage in community-level efforts to promote social change and build a life-affirming future for themselves.","PeriodicalId":47588,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Black Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139002749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Families received boxes for six months and completed whole family activities during virtual “unboxings.” In the current study, we explored caregivers’ ( n = 57) open-ended responses to a mid-program survey about their experiences utilizing the boxes. Eighty eight percent of families endorsed using the family activity sheets ( n = 51) and eighty four percent endorsed that they read and received the text messages ( n = 49). Using the rapid and rigorous qualitative data analysis technique, we found three main themes: (a) eliciting children’s joy, (b) cultivating Black history home learning, and (c) promoting family cohesion. The Brilliant Joy in a Box project positively contributed to family joy, served as a catalyst for celebrating Black history, and provided an opportunity for families to continue or increase their role in their children’s learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.","PeriodicalId":47588,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Black Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138974022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address these gaps, this qualitative study employed a master narrative approach to investigate the maternal master narratives of parenting and the mechanisms by which Black mothers ( N = 20) of emerging adults navigate such constraints through cultural alternative narratives. Results indicated evidence for a master narrative of parenting emerging adult children with themes focused on education, over-parenting, hands-off parenting, permissive parenting, guidance and support role, and contribution to society. Results also demonstrated how mothers utilized alternative narratives to make sense of their culture in light of American society through themes that emphasized stern parenting, family values, cultural generational awareness, parenting independent of norms, restrictions on parenting, guidance and support role, and contribution to society. Findings indicated instances of microlevel culture. Ultimately, the largest implication from this study included the importance of taking into account culturally related experiences when defining what is “appropriate” parenting.","PeriodicalId":47588,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Black Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138974669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The existing psychological interpretation of hair straightening centralizes self-hatred without accounting for the complex psycho-social impetus as told through the stories of Black women. Using the Guided Hair Autobiography, researchers elicited and analyzed the narratives of 38 Black women who underwent chemical hair straightening during their youth. Achieving “manageable” hair, community belongingness, and maternal choice were the identified reasons for chemically straightening hair. Both physical harm and psychological conflict were consequences of this beauty practice. These narrative insights offer clinicians a critical context for the role of early memories in body image and family dynamics. This study highlights the role of chemical hair straightening embedded into the identities of Black women, complicates the internalized narratives of racialized embodied aesthetics, and invites deeper examination of toxic beauty practices in Black female relationships and identity development.","PeriodicalId":47588,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Black Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2023-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89221580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, little is known about how they attempt to cope with these incidents or how their efforts may affect their mental health. Informed by trauma theory and stress, appraisal, and coping theory, this study used semi-structured in-depth interviews with 30 Black male and female undergraduate college students (aged 18–28) exposed to police killings of other unarmed Black people to examine their coping efforts and the impact on their mental health. Students were recruited from four historically Black colleges and universities in South Carolina. Grounded theory analysis identified several emotion-focused coping and problem-focused coping employed by Black college students to cope with repeated police killings. Furthermore, findings suggest that proactive planning for police killings, at both individual and personal network levels, buffers students against the negative mental impacts of these events. Research and practice implications suggest the need for future studies to identify and develop culturally specific interventions that support effective coping skills to mitigate adverse health outcomes for Black people in the aftermath of police killings.","PeriodicalId":47588,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Black Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2023-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74733340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Findings showed that many Nigerian children engaged in learning and parents perceived educational achievement during pandemic school closure as worse. Socioeconomic backgrounds were associated with patterns of engagement. Children from highly educated and high-income backgrounds had significantly higher access to learning resources, which were also associated with their greater engagement in learning, than those children from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Children from low-income backgrounds were more engaged in face-to-face outside the home learning. This could have been due to the low access to online resources and low compliance to COVID-19 rules (driven by mistrust in government) of low-income and less educated families. Implications of findings for informing educational intervention programs, including post-COVID pedagogies, are discussed.","PeriodicalId":47588,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Black Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2023-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88509239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study brings together quotes on student-staff interactions extracted during a qualitative meta-synthesis ( n = 64 quotes) to discuss how Black adolescent girls interpret being treated differently by staff. Black adolescent girls described differential treatment occurring because of one’s: (a) race such as Black students being treated less humanely and punished more severely; (b) gender such as staff inadequately responding to sexual harassment; (c) intersection of race and gender such as staff inequitably applying the dress code; and (d) perception of the individual such as staff viewing one as a “bad” student. It appeared that differential treatment largely rooted in one’s perceived racialized/gendered identity negatively impacted Black girls and simultaneously provided little recourse for addressing differential treatment, likely undermining their sense of school belonging. This study brings together the voices of Black adolescent girls published across articles to focus specifically on the process of differential treatment within student-staff relationships.","PeriodicalId":47588,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Black Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88709994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
