Effects of gendered racial microaggressions on the mental health of black women.

Abstract:

:This study aims to evaluate the effects of gendered racial microaggressions on the mental health of black women, specifically the influence of the variables identity and self-esteem on the relationship between the frequency of gendered racial microaggressions and mental health. 76 women participated in the study. The mean age was 24.62 years (SD = 6.3). Participants answered four instruments in addition to sociodemographic questions: Gendered Racial Microaggression Scale, Goldberg General Health Questionnaire, Group Identification Scale, and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. The results indicate that the high frequency of gendered racial microaggressions predicts worse levels of mental health and self-esteem. Self-esteem mediates the relationship between microaggressions and general health. It is a protective factor of mental health. Identity moderates this relationship, so that a high identification as a black woman is related to lower levels of mental health when faced with a high frequency of discriminatory events. Despite some limitations, the objectives were achieved. Future studies should contribute with explanations of the relationship between gendered racial microaggressions and mental health. :O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito das microagressões raciais de gênero na saúde mental de mulheres negras. Especificamente, foram avaliadas a influência das variáveis identidade e autoestima na relação entre a frequência das microagressões raciais de gênero e a saúde mental. Para tanto, participaram 76 mulheres, com idade média de 24,62 anos (DP = 6,3). As participantes responderam, além das questões sociodemográficas, quatro instrumentos: Escala de Microagressões Raciais de Gênero, Questionário de Saúde Geral de Goldberg, Escala de Identificação com o Grupo e a Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg. Os resultados indicaram que a alta frequência de microagressões raciais de gênero prediz piores níveis de saúde mental e autoestima. Ademais, a autoestima parece mediar a relação entre microagressões e saúde geral, apresentando-se enquanto fator protetor da saúde mental; e a identidade parece moderar essa relação, de modo que alta identificação enquanto mulher negra apresentam menores níveis de saúde mental quando se deparam com uma alta frequência de eventos discriminatórios. Não obstante algumas limitações, ressalta-se que os objetivos foram alcançados, sendo propostos estudos futuros que contribuam para a explicação da relação entre microagressões raciais de gênero e saúde mental.
