Abstract

Twenty-six Black collegians were exposed to a vicarious racial harassment stimulus (VRHS) then randomized into a Black Lives Matter Meditation for Healing Racial Trauma condition or a silence control condition. Heart rate (HR) was recorded throughout the experiment. Semi-structured interviews were then conducted to elicit participants’ appraisal of the VRHS and meditation. Using a Qual:Quan mixed methods experimental design, this pilot study qualitatively categorized how participants (1) described their reactions to the VRHS and (2) appraised the meditation. Participants described three types of race-based stress reactions and reported mostly positive appraisal of the meditation, although some indicated that it would not be a preferred coping strategy. To triangulate the quantitative findings, we found a significant increase in HR during VRHS. The meditation group displayed statistically significant reductions in HR from stimulus to the end of meditation; however, there were no statistically significant differences between the control and meditation groups. Results have implications for understanding and facilitating race-based stress recovery.

基于种族的压力反应和恢复:种族创伤冥想的试点测试
将26名黑人大学生置于替代性种族骚扰刺激(VRHS)下,然后随机分为“黑人的命也重要”治疗种族创伤冥想组和“沉默控制组”。在整个实验过程中记录心率(HR)。然后进行半结构化访谈,以引出参与者对VRHS和冥想的评价。本初步研究采用qualal:Quan混合方法实验设计,定性地分类了参与者(1)如何描述他们对VRHS的反应和(2)如何评价冥想。参与者描述了三种基于种族的压力反应,并报告了大多数对冥想的积极评价,尽管有些人表示这不是一种首选的应对策略。为了对定量结果进行三角测量,我们发现VRHS期间HR显著增加。冥想组从刺激到冥想结束的HR显著降低;然而,对照组和冥想组之间没有统计学上的显著差异。结果对理解和促进基于种族的压力恢复具有启示意义。
