This study examined how adolescents make meaning of racist jokes and their impact on daily well-being using a sequential mixed-methods research design with interview (N = 20; 60% girls, 5% gender-nonconforming; 45% Asian American, 40% Latina/o/x, 10% Black, 5% biracial/multiethnic) and daily diary data (N = 168; 54% girls; 57% Latina/o/x, 21% biracial/multiethnic, 10% Asian American, 9% White, 4% Black). Qualitative results revealed that racist jokes were common, distinct from other overt forms of discrimination, and perceived as harmless when perpetrated by friends. Quantitatively, approximately half of adolescents reported hearing at least one racist joke during the study period, and racist jokes by friends were associated with higher daily angry, anxious, and depressed moods and stress. Racist jokes by known others and strangers were also significantly associated with poorer well-being, although less consistently. Findings highlight the hidden harmful effects of racist jokes on adolescents’ daily mood and stress.

“有些人会给你讲笑话;有些人是种族主义者：“种族主义笑话和青少年福祉的混合方法研究


本研究使用带有访谈的连续混合方法研究设计（N = 20;60% 女孩，5% 性别不一致;45% 亚裔美国人，40% 拉丁裔/o/x，10% 黑人，5% 混血/多种族）和每日日记数据（N = 168;54% 女孩;57% 拉丁裔/o/x;57% 拉丁裔/o/x，21% 混血/多种族， 10% 亚裔美国人，9% 白人，4% 黑人）。定性结果表明，种族主义笑话很常见，与其他公开形式的歧视不同，并且在朋友犯下时被认为是无害的。从数量上讲，大约一半的青少年报告在研究期间至少听到了一个种族主义笑话，而朋友的种族主义笑话与每天较高的愤怒、焦虑和抑郁情绪和压力有关。认识的其他人和陌生人的种族主义笑话也与较差的幸福感显著相关，尽管不太一致。研究结果强调了种族主义笑话对青少年日常情绪和压力的隐藏有害影响。
