A recent study from North Carolina State University underscores the feedback loop between racism, stress and anti-racist activism in young Black people. Specifically, the study highlights that experiencing racism is stressful for Black youth in their late teens and twenties, and that taking action to address racism is both a response to that stress and a source of stress in itself.
“有很多数据表明种族主义压力很大，有助于黑人的身心健康挑战，”艾伦希望，研究同事以及核武结构的心理学副教授。“我们希望更好地了解有助于激活主义的角色可以发挥作用的作用。是否有与战斗种族主义相关的价格？而且，如果是这样，它的收费是什么精确的？
“The burden of ‘solving’ racism falls largely on the people most affected by racism. The more we understand that burden, the better able we will be to support the people who are doing the work.”
为此，研究人员对443名黑色青少年进行了调查（14-17岁）和447名黑色新兴成人（18-29岁）。该调查包括旨在评估与预期种族事件相关的生理和心理压力的问题。该调查还要求参与者询问他们经历过各种种族主义实例的程度。此外，该调查询问了参与者从事反种族主义活动的程度。行动主义的特征是由低风险的活动组成，例如穿着黑色骄傲T恤，或高风险的活动，如参加公共示范。
“For emerging adults, we found that the more racism-related physiological stress participants reported, the more likely they were to engage in high-risk activism, such as participating in protests,” says Vanessa Volpe, co-author of the study and an assistant professor of psychology at NC State.
研究人员使用统计模型试图根据过去的种族主义的经验，研究参与者更有压力水平的参与者更有可能从事高风险的活动，或者如果人们更有可能从事活动，因为它们具有更高的压力。
“我们发现这是一个佛互惠关系r emerging adults,” Hope says. “In other words, for emerging adults, it was true that higher levels of physiological stress were associated with engaging in high-risk activism, and that engaging in high-risk activism was associated with higher levels of physiological stress. But for adolescents, the models suggested that high levels of physiological stress were associated with high-risk activism – but not that activism was contributing to physiological stress.”
青少年和新兴成年人还报告了种族主义相关的心理压力与从事低风险活动的关系，例如面对种族主义笑话的人。同样，这种关系是新兴成人的互惠，但不适合青少年。
“这些调查结果对于在社会正义倡议中与青年合作的青年组织者和成年人都很重要，”希望说。“为了支持青年，帮助他们处理与种族主义相关的压力很重要andanti-racism activism. While young people seek to make changes in their communities, they must also pay attention to how their activism is impacting their own mental and physical health. Our findings show that these relationships might be different as people transition from adolescence to young adulthood.”

抽象的：This study examines associations between individual racism, anticipatory racism-related stress, and anti-racism activism among Black adolescents (n = 443; Mage= 15.6;57.4％的女性）和新兴成人（n = 447; mage= 23.8;77.6％的女性）。作者测试了关于竞争假设关于个人种族主义与反种族主义活动之间的协会对预期的种族主义相关的压力。结果表明，预期的种族主义相关的压力可能是黑色青少年和新兴成年人的反种族主义激活主义的催化剂和后果。每个年龄组的结果因应力（生理学;心理）和激活主义（低风险;高风险）而变化。支持反种族主义活动的青年参与，而不增加预期的种族主义相关的压力是有意义地推进奖学金的关键优先事项，验证反种族主义和追求种族司法。
