Mahalik, James R.; Pierre, Martin R.; Wan, Samuel S. C.
Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development, v34 n2 p94 Apr 2006
Data presented for 124 young adult Black men indicate that self-esteem was positively related to participants' Internalization racial identity attitudes, and negatively related to conformity to traditional masculine norms in the dominant culture in the United States. Psychological distress was positively related to Pre-Encounter and Immersion-Emersion racial identity attitudes (J. E. Helms, 1995) and to conformity to masculine norms. (Contains 2 tables.)
