Racial Identity and Psychological Symptoms among African Americans Attending a Historically Black University
Gilbert, Stefanie C.; So, Dominicus; Russell, Tina Maria; Wessel, Thomas R.
Journal of College Counseling, v9 n2 p111 Fall 2006
Previous research found racial identity predictive of psychological distress among African American students at predominantly White colleges. This study examined these relationships among 154 African American undergraduates attending a historically Black university. Racial identity was independent of psychological distress, suggesting that African American students' racial identity predicts psychological distress only in settings in which they are the minority. (Contains 2 tables.)
