This study examined how ethnic-racial identity (ERI) profiles moderate the relationship between racial discrimination and mental health among Black American adults. Black American adults (n = 247) recruited from a community-based sample completed self-report measures of ERI, racial discrimination, depression, psychological distress, and emotional well-being. Latent profile analysis (LPA) identified four distinct ERI profiles, corresponding to the ERI status theorized in prior research-Diffusion, Moratorium, and Achievement-and a fourth profile, which corresponded to an ERI status for High Achievement. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses indicated that greater racial discrimination was significantly related to worse mental health for all outcomes and that having an ERI profile of High Achievement was significantly associated with lower depression. Moderation analysis indicated that the ERI profile for Achievement protected against depression and psychological distress in the context of high racial discrimination.

民族-种族身份潜在档案可防止美国黑人成年人受到种族歧视。


本研究考察了民族-种族身份 （ERI） 概况如何调节美国黑人成年人的种族歧视与心理健康之间的关系。从基于社区的样本中招募的美国黑人成年人 （n = 247） 完成了 ERI、种族歧视、抑郁、心理困扰和情绪健康的自我报告测量。潜在概况分析 （LPA） 确定了四种不同的 ERI 概况，对应于先前研究中理论化的 ERI 状态——扩散、暂停和成就——以及第四种概况，对应于高成就的 ERI 状态。分层多元回归分析表明，对于所有结果，较大的种族歧视与较差的心理健康显著相关，并且具有高成就的 ERI 概况与较低的抑郁程度显著相关。适度分析表明，在高度种族歧视的背景下，成就的 ERI 概况可以防止抑郁和心理困扰。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 （c） 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
