Internalized Racism, Family Social Support, Ethnic-Racial Centrality, and Self-Esteem Among BIPOC Canadian Young Adults
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Black and Latinx individuals frequently experience ethnic-racial discrimination, a harmful stressor that leads to increased depressive symptoms and lower psychological well-being. Recently, scholars have argued that internalized racism, or negative beliefs about one’s racial group, may be the most harmful form of racism (Seaton, 2020). The adverse negative mental health effects of internalized racism have been extensively documented, however, internalized racism’s impact on aspects of psychological well-being (e.g., self-esteem) and development of a strong ethnic-racial identity, a developmental milestone among people of colour (Umaña-Taylor et al., 2014), have not been as well-documented – particularly in a longitudinal fashion. Further, familial social support is a known protective factor against the adverse effects of in-person racism, however, less research has documented its ability to protect against the stress of internalized racism. The present pre-registered study addresses these gaps by examining the short-term longitudinal (6-month) impacts of internalized racism on self-esteem and ethnic-racial centrality. Additionally, we will examine the main effect and the moderating influence of familial social support to determine whether it can mitigate the hypothesized adverse effects of internalized racism on our outcomes.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
