摘要

尽管大量的实证工作记录了非裔美国人被其他种族群体非人化的方式,但没有研究调查感知非人化(即,元非人化)与非裔美国人心理健康之间的关系。在本研究中,我们通过元去人性化检验了种族歧视对抑郁症状的间接影响,并探讨了这种间接影响是否取决于种族认同(即中心性、私人关怀)。非裔美国学生在美国中西部地区的一所大学实验室完成了测试(N = 326;男性= 19.7,女性占72.4%)。我们发现种族歧视通过元非人性化间接与抑郁症状相关的程度取决于种族认同维度。具体而言,种族歧视通过元去人性化对抑郁症状的间接影响仅对中心性和私人关怀相对较高的个体有意义。这项研究表明,在对自己的种族群体有强烈认同感和积极看法的非裔美国人中,后去人性化的作用更强。我们在社会认知理论的背景下讨论这些结果。

Examining Racial Discrimination’s Association With Depressive Symptoms Through Metadehumanization Among African Americans: Does Racial Identity Matter?
Though considerable empirical work has documented the ways in which African Americans are dehumanized by other racial groups, there is no research examining how perceiving dehumanization (i.e., metadehumanization) is associated with the mental health of African Americans. In this study, we examined the indirect effect of racial discrimination on depressive symptoms through metadehumanization and explored whether this indirect effect was contingent on racial identity (i.e., centrality, private regard). African American students completed measures in a university lab located in the Midwestern region of the United States (N = 326; Mage = 19.7, 72.4% women). We found that the degree to which racial discrimination was indirectly associated with depressive symptoms through metadehumanization was contingent on racial identity dimensions. Specifically, the indirect effect of racial discrimination on depressive symptoms through metadehumanization was only significant for individuals who were relatively higher on centrality and private regard. This research suggests that the role of metadehumanization is stronger among African Americans who strongly identify with and have positive views of their racial group. We discuss these results in the context of social cognitive theories.
