This study investigates the relationship between allostatic load and a novel form of altruistic racism-related fear, or concern for how racism might harm another, which we term vicarious racism-related vigilance. Using a subsample of Black mothers from the African American Women's Heart & Health Study (N = 140), which includes detailed health and survey data on a community sample of Black women in the San Francisco Bay Area, this study investigates the relationship between Black mothers' experiences with racism-related vigilance as it relates to their children and allostatic load-a multisystem metric of underlying health across multiple biological systems. Findings indicate that vicarious racism-related vigilance was positively associated with allostatic load (i.e., worse health). Findings highlight the salience of vicarious racism-related vigilance for the health of Black mothers, underscoring how intersections between race, gender, and parenthood result in susceptibility to unique forms of health-harming stress.

黑人母亲对孩子的关心作为替代种族主义相关警惕性和动态负荷的衡量标准。


这项研究调查了非稳态负荷与一种新形式的利他主义种族主义相关恐惧之间的关系，或者担心种族主义可能如何伤害他人，我们称之为替代性种族主义相关警惕。本研究使用来自非裔美国女性心脏与健康研究 (N = 140) 的黑人母亲子样本，其中包括旧金山湾区黑人女性社区样本的详细健康和调查数据，调查了黑人母亲之间的关系”经历了与种族主义相关的警惕，因为这与他们的孩子和适应负荷有关——跨多个生物系统的潜在健康的多系统指标。研究结果表明，与种族主义相关的替代性警惕性与稳态负荷（即健康状况恶化）呈正相关。调查结果强调了对黑人母亲健康的与种族主义相关的替代性警惕的重要性，强调了种族、性别和为人父母之间的交叉如何导致对独特形式的危害健康的压力的敏感性。
