The pervasiveness of racism in the U.S. and its negative relations with key development outcomes has led researchers to uncover mediators, of which this article argues efficacy should be considered. Self‐efficacy, one's belief in their capability to accomplish a task or goal, can be measured in multiple domains of functioning and contexts to predict behaviour. The current study examines possible specificity in the relation between discrimination (general discrimination and school discrimination) and efficacy (academic efficacy and efficacy to combat discrimination), whether resilience moderates these associations, and if these processes differ by gender. A total of 879 Black youth (47% female; mean age = 12, SD = 0.58) were included in the analyses. Findings suggest that school discrimination experiences are differentially associated with domains of efficacy. Resilience was associated with increased efficacy, but no significant moderation effects were found.

美国黑人青少年面对歧视的效能


美国种族主义的普遍性及其与关键发展成果的负面关系促使研究人员发现了调解因素，本文认为应考虑其中的有效性。自我效能，即一个人对自己完成任务或目标的能力的信念，可以在多个功能领域和环境中进行测量，以预测行为。目前的研究探讨了歧视（一般歧视和学校歧视）和功效（学术功效和打击歧视的功效）之间关系的可能特殊性，复原力是否会调节这些关联，以及这些过程是否因性别而异。分析中总共纳入了 879 名黑人青年（47% 为女性；平均年龄 = 12，SD = 0.58）。研究结果表明，学校歧视经历与效能领域存在不同的相关性。复原力与功效增加相关，但没有发现显着的调节效应。
