Abstract:How do older Black women interpret their past and present intimate relationships with white men? In 26 interviews, Black women ranging from 40 to late 70 years old describe their experiences dating and/or marrying white men. Interviewees consider the societal context in which they engage in these relationships, noting differences in intimate interactions with white men in their youth versus their current age. When recollecting their experiences as younger women, interviewees reflect on messages about white men they were taught by older generations, body politics, and engaging with white men in the face of the historical subjugation of white men over Black women. When explaining their contemporary relationships, Black women state white men tend to be persistent, devoted, and accept them as they are. Our results are indicative of the importance of time and generation in interracial relationships that Black women engage in. We apply Black Feminist Thought to elucidate Black women's dynamics in these types of interracial relationships. These findings may be applied more broadly to the study of interracial relationships, and to intimate relationships in general, as we highlight how societal-level events and expectations have the power to impact interpersonal relationships.

Abstract:The current study examines the association between gendered racial socialization messages received by Black women and their attitudes towards Black interracial relationships. Hierarchal linear regression was used to examine participant's (N = 269) exposure to messages regarding 1) racial gender pride and empowerment, 2) internalized gender racial oppression, and 3) family responsibilities and attitudes towards Black interracial relationships. Results indicated greater messages regarding gender racial pride and empowerment were associated with more positive attitudes toward interracial dating. Conversely, greater internalized gendered racial oppression and family responsibilities and expectations were associated with less favorable attitudes toward Black interracial relationships broadly. However, greater internalized gendered racial oppression and family responsibilities and expectations did not influence one's own willingness to date someone of a different race. These results have implications for future research directions related to Black women's gendered racial socialization using the Black Feminist Thought framework.

Abstract:This Delphi study was conducted to develop a consensus statement on clinical reasoning in clinical sexology. 10 participants completed the qualitative interviews. The analysis identified 11 principles that provide a framework for sex therapists to better understand clinical reasoning. These principles were grouped into three domains: 1) client empowerment, 2) self-reflection, and 3) evidence-based inquiry. These three domains reflect the factors that shape sexology-informed clinical reasoning: the patient, the therapist's experience, and evidence-based information.

Abstract:The imbalanced sex ratio in the Black community could contribute to sexual partner concurrency. This study examined the association between perceptions of the availability of heterosexual male partners (sex ratio) and heterosexual Black women's attitudes and experiences with concurrent sexual partnerships. We found that perceptions of a high sex ratio (more men relative to women) were positively associated with attitudes towards concurrent sexual partnerships and prevalence of sexual concurrency. Future research must account for contextual factors influencing sexual networks such as the sex ratio that affect behaviors and attitudes influencing Black women's risk for HIV infection.

Abstract:This study examined Black mothers' motivations to hold discussions about adolescent dating violence (ADV) with adolescent daughters using a reproductive justice framework. A total of 21 Black mothers participated focus groups. Although they overwhelmingly reported a willingness to discuss ADV with their daughters, mother reported three unique personal and contextual barriers to holding these conversations: (1) experiences with maternal ADV discussions during their won adolescence; (2) lack of comfort discussing ADV issues; and (3) perceptions of their daughters' readiness for these discussions. These results highlight the importance of developing the generationally appropriate interventions to facilitate Black mothers' ability to provide daughters with ADV protective strategies.

Abstract:Scholars have historically explained relationship dynamics of Black couples using White middle-class models, ignoring minority-specific stressors. Few relationship models that consider the impact of racism on relationship outcomes have been proposed or tested. We test Bryant et al.'s (2010) conceptual framework by examining mediation and moderation effects of partner's attributions and racism-related stress on dyadic coping and relationship quality. Data from 97 Black individuals in committed relationships suggests that those who experienced frequent daily discrimination and tended to blame their partner for their stress-related behaviors, were more likely to engage in mutual support and report more positive qualities of the relationship.

Abstract:The study presented here is an examination of Black female college students' perspectives on sexual liberation and the utility of sexual stereotypes in a liberated society. Twenty-four young Black women engaged in seven focus groups to understand how their generation defines and understands sexual freedom and changing norms. Findings showed that some young Black women define sexual liberation as a combination of ownership, awareness, confidence, and pleasure. Additionally, they described sexual stereotypes as: symbols of desiring acceptance, rooted in patriarchy, a way to infer that sexual woman are promiscuous, and may be useful tools in reclaiming sexual autonomy. Implications for sex research and practice are discussed.
