Colorism is a social construct privileging lighter-skinned people of color with proximity to European features over their darker-skinned counterparts. Despite the significant role in the lives of Black women and girls, colorism is an overlooked and understudied phenomenon, particularly regarding how it shapes their punishment and criminalization in schools. We conceptualize colorism as a social determinant of Black girls’ psychological well-being and outcomes. Darker-skinned Black girls face disproportionately severe school discipline, negative evaluation by teachers and peers, and are inundated with stereotypical messages that influence their sense of self—which increases their vulnerability to trauma and psychological distress. Inside the legal system, colorism plays a role in moving dark-skinned Black girls further into and through the pipeline at every stage of legal processing. The goal of the paper is to (a) highlight the role of colorism in the criminalization of Black girls, (b) identify school, forensic, and counseling/clinical psychology’s role in reducing the impact of colorism on Black girls’ lived experience as it relates to mental health and criminalization, and (c) identify psychological research and policy needs to mitigate the impact of colorism on Black girls’ life outcomes.

The purpose of this book review is to examine The Autobiography of an ExColored Man by James Weldon Johnson through the lens of W. E. B. Du Bois’s The Souls of Black Folk (1994). As a result, this review and analysis highlights the method James Weldon Johnson used to lift prejudiced readers’ veil and the veil of African Americans. Du Bois explains the African American veil as “second sight in this American world, — a world which yields him no true self-consciousness...” and elaborates that “it is a peculiar sensation, this double consciousness, this sense of always looking at one’s self through the eyes of others, of measuring one’s soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity” (Dubois, 1994, p.2). Even so, Dubois commendably recognizes that African Americans have achieved selfrealization and self-respect. He states how it is so:

Although extant research highlights the detrimental effects of the Superwoman Schema (SWS) on Black women’s physical and psychological well-being, researchers have yet to examine the implications of SWS endorsement on Black women’s sexual attitudes and behaviors. As a culturally salient racialized gender schema that reifies Black women’s supposed superhuman emotional and physical strength, to what extent does endorsement of the SWS contribute to Black women’s reported sexual assertiveness and satisfaction? In the present work, 406 Black women completed an online survey measuring their endorsement of the SWS, as well as their sexual assertiveness and sexual satisfaction. SWS dimensions moderated the association between sexual assertiveness and sexual satisfaction. Findings from the present study highlight the importance of considering culturally salient racialized gender schemas when examining Black women’s sexual attitudes and behaviors.

Colorism—systematic intragroup discrimination based on skin color—uniquely affects African American women. Using a sequential mixed methods design, this study explored perceptions of colorism and sun-related behavior among African American women in college. Study 1, which included 14 in-depth interviews, revealed perceptions that lighter skin is mostly preferred among African American women and that this preference can influence sun-related behavior. Study 2 featured a self-administered questionnaire (n = 187) based on interview commentary. Findings indicated an internalized status quo: Participants deemed colorism prevalent among African Americans and believed that preferences for lighter skin influenced daily life, including sun avoidance. Personal skin color preferences were less clear than participants’ perceptions of others’ preferences. Results pinpointed a possible connection between colorism and sun-related behavior, unveiling interrelationships among internalized beliefs, subjective norms, and behavior. Understanding colorism’s entrenched role and the social context of sun-related decisions extends colorism research from the psychosocial realm to the behavioral. Implications can increase practitioners’ awareness of colorism, enabling interventions to promote appropriate health education and wellbeing among African American women.

Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death across all ages in the USA, and the 2nd leading cause for ages 10–34. The rate of suicide for ages 10–34 has been increasing from 1999 to 2017 for males and females, although this time-trend varied across subpopulations defined by gender and age. This study analyzed Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data from 1990 to 2018 on suicide among African Americans aged 5–29 years. Suicide incidence in this population was greater in older groups and in males than females. For 9 of the 10 gender/age subpopulations, the time-trend of suicide over the three decades was U-shaped—decreasing during the first decade and increasing over the last decade of the study period. The exception was the increasing trend from 1990 to 2018 for Black females in the 10–14 age-group. These results reinforce the need for analyses of the data from specific subpopulations in order to design adequate suicide prevention programs for these African American subpopulations.

We conducted a meta-synthesis to understand how religious/spiritual struggles are linked to Black adolescents’ and emerging adults’ mental health, considering their various socio-demographic identities. To address this research aim, we reviewed and synthesized qualitative data from 19 studies that included the voices of approximately 382 Black adolescents and emerging adults. Data were analyzed using a seven-step meta-ethnography analysis approach. Findings revealed three themes highlighting contributors to Black youths’ negative mental health in relation to their religious/spiritual struggles: (a) Rejected and Unloved, (b) Abandoned and Dismissed, and (c) Doubt, Disengaged, and Reconciliation. Moreover, difficult religious/spiritual experiences were nested within contextual issues associated with typical developmental milestones (i.e., increased sexual activity and religious/spiritual identity development) and participants’ race, gender, sexual orientation, and mental health status (and related trauma). This meta-synthesis provides a foundation for understanding and responding to Black youths’ religious/spiritual struggles when providing culturally responsive and social justice-oriented mental health support.

This study examined the moderating effects of skin tone and skin tone satisfaction on the relations between gendered racial microaggressions and traumatic stress symptoms among self-identified Black women between 18 and 50 years old (N = 237). It was hypothesized that skin tone and skin tone satisfaction would moderate the relation between gendered racial microaggressions and traumatic stress, such that having a darker skin tone and lower levels of skin tone satisfaction would exacerbate the association between gendered racial microaggressions and traumatic stress symptoms. Results from two hierarchical multiple linear regression analyses indicated skin tone satisfaction significantly moderated the association between gendered racial microaggressions and traumatic stress symptoms, whereas skin tone did not. Findings suggest that skin tone satisfaction may play a bigger role in buffering or exacerbating the link between gendered racial microaggressions and mental health among Black women than skin tone alone. The results can inform future research and clinical practice on the important role of skin tone satisfaction in the link between gendered racial microaggressions and traumatic stress among Black women.

Studies from the United States and United Kingdom have shown that Black patients are disproportionately diagnosed with psychosis and have received excess coercive medical intervention. There has been little discussion of this topic in Canada, and of how coercive interventions may have influenced Black patient attitudes towards mental health services. To address these issues, semi-structured interviews were administered to five Black men with first-episode psychosis (FEP) to (a) explore their experiences with coercive interventions and (b) describe how these experiences may have influenced help-seeking behaviours. Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) was used to analyze the data. Four core themes and four additional themes emerged from the interviews. Patients described loneliness, not being heard, police contact and forced medication as influencing their attitudes towards mental health care. Further research is needed to develop reparative strategies to encourage reflection about and awareness of coercive intervention among Black FEP patients.

Historically, African American women have experienced racial disparities in miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant mortality rates. Yet, little attention has been given to stressors that African American women may experience prior to, during, and after experiencing fetal/infant loss. This study provided an opportunity for African American women to describe their lived experiences of stressors prior to, during, and after experiencing each type of fetal/infant loss. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven African American women. Each participant experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant mortality and were 18 years of age or older. Recruitment occurred in 2019 in a county in Northeast Ohio and data were analyzed using descriptive coding and thematic analysis. Four themes identified how these African American women navigated stressors prior to, during, and after experiencing each type of fetal/infant loss: (a) social support, (b) grief, (c) internal conflict, and (d) pregnancy, delivery, and death of child. Our findings expand the literature by being an innovative study may bring awareness and influence programs that assist African American women during their experience with fetal/infant loss.

This study focused on the cultural differences faced by African American students transitioning to a predominantly White institution and the protective factors that aided them with these transitions. In-depth individual interviews were conducted and used as the primary method of data collection for this study. In addition, a focus group session provided member checking opportunity and served to strengthen the trustworthiness of the study. The focus group was also used as a secondary data source to corroborate the key findings from the individual interviews. Analysis revealed participants were exposed to several risk factors in the university context. Students developed coping strategies to combat these risk factors and promote successful transitions from the home to the university.
