摘要
目标：种族歧视始终与消极的心理健康结果有关。然而，对于经历高度歧视压力的美国黑人的独特应对模式如何缓和歧视与心理健康之间的关系，人们知之甚少。本研究采用以人为本的方法来识别和描述美国黑人应对的潜在特征，了解这些应对特征与心理健康之间的联系，并研究潜在的应对特征是否调节歧视与心理健康之间的联系。方法：参与者为美国黑人(N = 289；法师= 44.87；（63%的女性），来自美国密尔沃基进修研究的中年发展。潜在剖面分析用于揭示具有不同应对策略模式的亚群。研究了潜在轮廓隶属度与心理健康之间的直接联系。最后，潜在轮廓作为歧视与心理健康之间关联的调节因子进行了测试。结果：确定了四种应对反应：被动反应者（占样本的29%），回避反应者（15%），多样化反应者（17%）和参与反应者（39%）。参与反应者的心理健康问题患病率最低。此外，参与应答者概况的成员资格调节了歧视与心理健康之间的关联，因此种族歧视与心理健康结果之间的关联在其他概况中普遍更强。结论：以人为中心的方法揭示了具有独特应对模式的有意义的亚组，并指出敬业的响应者对歧视的影响最具弹性。未来的研究应该对这些关联进行纵向测试，并检查是否可以通过干预培养更多的适应性应对特征。（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA，版权所有）。
Dispositional coping profiles moderate the links between racial discrimination and mental health in Black Americans.
Objectives: Racial discrimination is consistently linked to negative mental health outcomes. However, less is known about how unique patterns of coping in Black Americans experiencing high discrimination stress may moderate the association between discrimination and mental health. The present study uses person-centered methods to identify and describe latent profiles of coping in Black Americans, to understand how these coping profiles are linked to mental health, and to examine whether latent coping profiles moderate the links between discrimination and mental health.
Method: Participants were Black Americans (N = 289; Mage = 44.87; 63% women) from the Midlife Development in the United States Milwaukee Refresher study. Latent profile analysis was used to uncover subgroups characterized by distinct patterns of coping strategies. Direct associations between latent profile membership and mental health were examined. Finally, latent profiles were tested as moderators of associations between discrimination and mental health.
Results: Four profiles of coping responses were identified: passive responders (29% of the sample), evasive responders (15%), diverse responders (17%), and engaged responders (39%). Engaged responders had the lowest prevalence of mental health problems. Further, membership in the engaged responders profile moderated associations between discrimination and mental health, such that the associations between racial discrimination and mental health outcomes were generally stronger in other profiles.
Conclusions: Person-centered methods uncovered meaningful subgroups characterized by unique coping patterns and pointed to engaged responders as being most resilient to the effects of discrimination. Future research should test these associations longitudinally and examine whether more adaptive coping profiles can be fostered through intervention.
