We analyzed individual interview data from 26 ethnically diverse Black women (18–22 years) with consensual qualitative research methods to explore their beliefs and perspectives on their peers’ colorist messages in K-16 education. We focused on three main themes from the women’s narratives, including the critical role of school racial context, the harmful nature of colorist comments from Black men and boys, and the affirming nature of counternarratives from Black girlfriends. Consistent with past studies, peers’ colorist messages reinforced racialized social hierarchies and Eurocentric notions of beauty by privileging lighter-toned women compared to darker-toned women. The young women described how colorist messages from peers contributed to body surveillance and physical insecurities during childhood, and how they cultivated personal and collective counternarratives on beauty and self-worth in adulthood. Authors discuss colorism as a form of trauma among Black women and girls, with particular attention to identity development.","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":"79138684","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}

A total of 35 participants were interviewed using a qualitative study to further explore these experiences. After analysis, this study determined gender roles and emotional maturity affected later development. Key themes included feeling inept, stigma, lack of understanding, and loneliness. The participants discussed how frustrating it could be to be considered less of a man by society. These frustrations can lead to increased medical issues such as cardiovascular disease and increased behavioral health issues such as substance use, anxiety, depression, and issues within intimate relationships, as women may be expecting more than they can give.

However, African American young adults are underrepresented in the literature examining psychological distress (i.e., anxiety and depression) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Factors associated with psychological distress are important to examine among African American young adults during the pandemic to better inform culturally appropriate mental health interventions during times of increased uncertainty and isolation. The present study, grounded in the transactional theory of stress and coping, was a secondary analysis of 420 African American young adults exploring gender, age, coping, fear of missing out (FOMO), and COVID-19 news exposure as correlates of anxiety and depression. Results showed that gender, age, level of resilient coping, and experiences of FOMO were associated with psychological distress. Therefore, interventions to reduce psychological distress among African American young adults may need to focus on younger individuals and women, identify adaptive coping skills during times of significant change, and target individuals who experience FOMO.","PeriodicalId":47588,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Black Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44617717","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 purpose of this qualitative study was to understand their lived experience as well as the specific sociocultural factors that helped to foster their resiliency. It suggests a strengths-focused approach to understanding proactive measures that can positively impact Black male students’ success in doctoral psychology programs and their subsequent positive consequences for the profession. A phenomenological study was conducted, interviewing five Black men in clinical and counseling psychology doctoral programs. A thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006) was utilized to analyze the interview responses. The findings suggest a community of support (family, mentors, peers, faculty, and relationships at professional conferences) helps to foster awareness (educational, self-awareness, and contextual awareness) which in turn lead to the students engaging in meaningful action (representation, giving back, and self-care), returning to serve as members that make up the community of support for others within their community.","PeriodicalId":47588,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Black Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85976011","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 finding may be explained by the cultural stereotype of the Strong Black Woman (SBW). SBW consists of three factors: Mask of Strength, Self-Reliance/Strength, and Caretaking. The current study examined the connection between self-endorsement of SBW and help-seeking behavior and intention, following a traumatic event for Black college women. The SBW full scale was not significantly related to actual help-seeking or intention to seek help. However, post-hoc analyses indicated the three SBW subscales had both positive and negative effects. Greater endorsement of the Caretaking and Self-Reliance subscales positively predicted actual help-seeking and formal actual help-seeking, respectively. However, greater endorsement of the Mask of Strength subscale predicted less help-seeking and fewer intentions to seek help. The findings indicated a more nuanced approach may be needed when studying SBW or working in clinical settings. It may be helpful to bolster aspects of the stereotype, such as the desire to be a good caretaker, while redefining other aspects, such as emotional invulnerability.","PeriodicalId":47588,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Black Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73971117","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}

Over four decades, epidemiological data reveal an upward trend in Africana youth suicidal behavior. We contend that the rising rates of Africana youth suicide cannot be effectively addressed because suicidology is trapped in a pathological paradigm based on the imposition of European cultural hegemony. Focusing on Africana youth, two critiques are presented. First, the inefficacy of universalism as a standard in suicidology is delineated. Intrapsychic, individually oriented approaches are overemphasized and a culturally incongruent epistemology undergirds scientific methodologies; thus, advancing culturally dystonic suicide prevention/intervention efforts. Second, the underinvestigated role of contextual oppressive factors in gender disparities discussions, risk factors impacting Africana youth, and the salience of social integration as a protective factor are deconstructed. Recommendations for multidisciplinary training/curricula, collaboration with social justice organizations, and supporting culturally defined and practice-based evidence approaches are outlined.","PeriodicalId":47588,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Black Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79115265","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 suggested living without one's mother in childhood (vs. living with mother alone; aOR = 3.69, p = .017) and parental rule-setting in adolescence (aOR = 0.79, p = .047) were associated with suicidal ideation. Having a lifetime drug disorder (aOR = 2.19, p = .046) or major depression by young adulthood (aOR = 3.58, p < .001) was also associated with an increased risk of suicidal ideation. Findings highlight the importance of intervention for children in mother-absent homes for improving mental health outcomes.

As distressing as it is to work with adult clients who have given up on life, it is even more distressing to hear children, as young as 3 and 5 years old to report feelings of depression and suicidal intentions. Prior to the mid-2000s, the prevalent concern about suicide was not about youth’s suicide or about Black youth suicide, but the focus was on young adults. But the trend has changed and the reason for this special issue. What has sparked this focus on Black youth suicide? Data. Historically, Black populations have had lower levels of death by suicide compared to other ethnic groups (Gibbs, 1997). This pattern has been considered a paradox: A low rate of suicide in Black population despite the persistence of racial discrimination and oppression since the beginning of slavery. However, this trend changed. Since 2017, suicide became the third leading cause of death for Black male youth, aged 1–19, just behind homicide and unintentional injury (motor vehicle crashes, falls, fires, burns, drownings, poisonings; Centers for Disease Control & Prevention [CDC], 2017). This was the first time since documenting these statistics that rates of suicide among children 13 years or younger were almost two times higher for Black children than White children (Bridge et al., 2018). Over the past 20 years Black suicide rate youth in the 10-19 age range has increased (about 60%) faster than other racial/ethnic groups (American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry [AACAP], 2022)","PeriodicalId":47588,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Black Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88575339","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}
