摘要

Public Significance Statement In this study, harsh self-judgment explained the association between racism and psychological distress in African Americans. Health practitioners should consider implementing culturally responsive compassion-based interventions to reduce self-coldness in the face of racism. This social justice wellness strategy can help balance both survival and well-being among African Americans. Objectives: Racism is a key determinant of mental health for African Americans. Although research has started to uncover moderators and mediators of the racism-health link, additional research in this area is warranted. Constructs that have yet to be examined in this link are self-compassion and self-coldness-two distinct ways of relating to oneself during adversity. Method: Data from 133 African American college students were used to assess parallel mediation models in which the frequency and stress appraisal of racism were the predictor variables, psychological distress was the outcome variable, and dimensions of self-compassion and self-coldness were treated as mediators. Results: Neither frequency nor appraisal of racism were related to the three types of self-compassion (i.e., self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness); yet, both racism frequency and appraisal were related to the three types of self-coldness (i.e., self-judgment, isolation, and over-identification). However, only self-judgment emerged as a significant mediator in the links between both frequency and appraisal of racism and distress, respectively. Conclusions: Reducing self-coldness in the face of racism can be a promising, individual-level wellness strategy for African Americans.
