Abstract

Objective: Poor sleep quality affects Black women in the United States. Black young adult women experience stress from gendered racial microaggressions (i.e., subtle unfair treatment from being a Black woman). Studies of exposure to this stressor have focused on in-person contexts (i.e., offline). Yet Black young adults are nearly constantly online. The current study examines the associations between online and offline gendered racial microaggressions and sleep quality.

Method: Data came from a convenience sample of Black young adult women (N = 478; ages 18-35) and were collected online in the fall of 2021. Participants completed an online survey in which they self-reported demographics and COVID-19 stress covariates, online and offline exposure to gendered racial microaggressions, and sleep quality. Utilizing linear (outcome: continuous sleep quality score) and logistic (outcome: dichotomized clinically significant poor sleep quality) regression models, we examined direct and vicarious online gendered racial microaggressions.

Results: Most participants (67.2%) reported poor sleep quality. More offline gendered racism (β = .14) and vicarious online gendered racism (β = .14) were each uniquely associated with poorer sleep quality. However, only exposure to vicarious online gendered racism was uniquely associated with a 33% increased odds of clinically relevant poor sleep quality (95% confidence interval [1.09, 1.63]).

Conclusions: Offline and online gendered racial microaggressions are stressors with sleep quality implications. Vicarious online gendered racial microaggressions are uniquely associated with lower sleep quality and therefore may be a new avenue for future research and intervention.

黑人妇女的在线和离线性别种族微诽谤与睡眠质量。

目的：睡眠质量差影响着美国黑人女性。黑人年轻成年女性会因性别化的种族微攻击（即作为黑人女性所受到的微妙的不公平待遇）而承受压力。有关这种压力的研究主要集中在人际环境（即离线环境）。然而，黑人年轻人几乎无时无刻不在上网。本研究探讨了在线和离线性别化种族微攻击与睡眠质量之间的关联：数据来自 2021 年秋季黑人年轻成年女性（N = 478；年龄 18-35 岁）的方便抽样在线收集。参与者完成了一项在线调查，并在调查中自我报告了人口统计学和 COVID-19 压力协变量、线上和线下性别化种族微诽谤暴露情况以及睡眠质量。利用线性回归模型（结果：连续睡眠质量得分）和逻辑回归模型（结果：二分法临床显著睡眠质量差），我们研究了直接和间接的在线性别化种族微诽谤：结果：大多数参与者（67.2%）报告睡眠质量差。更多的离线性别化种族主义（β = .14）和替代性在线性别化种族主义（β = .14）都与睡眠质量较差有独特的联系。然而，只有暴露于代入性网络性别种族主义才与临床相关的睡眠质量差的几率增加 33% （95% 置信区间 [1.09, 1.63]）独特相关：结论：线下和线上的性别种族微诽谤是影响睡眠质量的压力源。虚拟的网络性别种族微诽谤与较低的睡眠质量有着独特的联系，因此可能是未来研究和干预的一个新途径。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有）。
