Abstract
This study investigates how spirituality, psychological orientation to religion, and racism-related stress are associated with African American activism. Measures of Race-Related Stress, Quest Religious Orientation, Fundamentalism Religious Orientation, and Intrinsic Spirituality were used as exogenous variables. African American Activism was the endogenous variable. Results based on a sample of 148 self-identified African American adults revealed that quest religious orientation, intrinsic spirituality, and racism-related stress were positively associated with activism-related behaviors, while fundamentalist religious orientation was negatively but not significantly associated with activism-related behaviors. Paths of a multiple regression model were analyzed using Mplus version 8. Findings shed light on the interplay of spiritual coping resources and the personal impact of racism in mobilizing an activist response to oppression.
本研究探讨了灵性、宗教心理取向和种族主义相关压力与非裔美国人行动主义的关系。种族相关压力、追求宗教取向、原教旨主义宗教取向和内在灵性的测量被用作外生变量。非裔美国人行动主义是内生变量。148名自我认同的非裔美国成年人的调查结果显示，追求宗教取向、内在灵性和种族主义相关压力与行动主义相关行为呈正相关，而原教旨主义宗教取向与行动主义相关行为呈负相关，但不显著。使用Mplus version 8对多元回归模型的路径进行分析。调查结果揭示了精神应对资源和种族主义在动员积极分子应对压迫方面的个人影响之间的相互作用。
