Summary, Etc.  

요약Interpersonal discrimination has a significant detrimental impact on mental and physical health for Black Americans. While emotion regulation may play a protective role in mitigating these harmful effects, theoretical work suggests that a contextual understanding is needed when considering the role of systemic racism on the safety of expressing emotions in predominantly White spaces. As such, the current study aimed to test the effect of racial context on strategy use and effectiveness for Black young adults facing social-evaluative stress.N = 104 Black and African-American young adults (ages 18-25) underwent a stressful social-evaluation task in front of a panel of White interviewers (cross-race condition) or Black interviewers (same-race condition). We collected psychophysiology data and assessed subjective emotional experience before, during, and after the task. We tested the impact of group assignment on emotion regulation strategy use and the impact of strategy use on emotions and physiology. We also examined the impact of group assignment and perceived discrimination on these associations.Greater use of cognitive-behavioral change strategies was associated with decreased physiological reactivity in the cross-race condition. Greater use of situational acceptance was associated with decreased physiological reactivity and fewer depression symptoms in the same-race condition and increased physiological reactivity at higher levels of perceived discrimination.Greater use of culturally specific strategies such as spiritual coping and collective coping was associated with increased physiological reactivity at higher levels of perceived discrimination. Finally, emotional suppression was associated with less physiological reactivity at higher levels of perceived discrimination in the cross-race condition only.Our findings suggest that while acceptance-based strategies may be useful for social stressors without the threat of cross-racial discrimination, change-oriented strategies may be useful in ambiguous cross-race interactions. Finally, our findings lend support to theoretical work highlighting the adaptive role of emotional suppression in navigating discriminatory cross-racial interactions.
