Relation of Racial Identity Attitudes to Self-Actualization and Affective States of Black Students.
Parham, Thomas A.; Helms, Janet E.
Journal of Counseling Psychology, v32 n3 p431-40 Jul 1985
The relation between identity attitudes, or Black self-ac4ualization, and various affective states were investigated in 166 Black university students. Both pro-White/anti-Black and pro-Black/anti-White attitudes were associated with greater personal distress. Awakening Black identity was positively related to self-actualization tendencies and negatively related to feelings of inferiority and anxiety. (Author/BL)
