The student-led presentation titled Racial coping and family social support in Black college students won the Diversity Award at the Psychology Undergraduate Research Conference held virtually at GSU. The Diversity Award is sponsored by the Psychology Department Diversity Committee and is given to the presentation that best addresses issues of diversity. The judges were thoroughly impressed with the analysis and interpretation of the project's data, as well as the excitement in future findings and expanding the literature in this field of research. The team's suggestions included more inclusive categories of gender, and expanding to include intersectional identities and how those perceive support.
Sawyer Adams, Lizette Arias, and Miracle Ezenna were each surprised to discover they had won a second award for their hard work on this project. The team is grateful to the Psychology Department of GSU for considering and awarding this presentation the Diversity Award. They all look forward to pursuing careers that promote intersectionality and diversity in and outside of psychology. Congratulations team! Sawyer Adams, Lizette Arias and Miracle Ezenna won first place overall with their presentation at the Psychology Undergraduate Research Conference (PURC), held virtually at GSU. Titled Racial coping and family social support in Black college students, the research focused on two types of racial coping socialization messages that students received, and their feelings of support from their family because of that socialization. The team worked with lab assistant Asha Walker to formulate a question, analyze data, and create a presentation. In November, Adams presented to a panel of judges from the psychology department. The presentation lasted five minutes, with a question and answer portion at the end.
First author, Adams, had this to say about winning first place overall: "Honestly, I can't remember half of the event because I was so nervous. I think I went into auto-pilot mode and repeated my script out of habit. The team was so incredibly supportive before and after the presentation. I had an absolute blast teaching them about the data, learning everything for myself, and making the lab proud. I am so incredibly excited to continue working with the team and make this project into a paper for publishing." Congratulations again to the team, and the lab looks forward to all your future success!

PARENT SOCIALIZATION TO RACIAL COPING: IMPLICATIONS FOR BLACK EMERGING ADULTS’ GROWTH MINDSET AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING The purpose of the current study was to examine parent racial-coping socialization as a moderator of the relation between racial-ethnic microaggressions and two key outcomes for emerging adults- growth mind-set and psychological well-being. A sample of Black emerging adults (N = 441, Mean age = 18.7 years, 81% female) attending a Minority-Serving Institution (MSI) completed the study. Problem-focused (e.g., parents told me to be aware and double my efforts) and support-focused coping (e.g., parents told me to ask for advice) were independently examined as racial coping socialization. Well-being was a composite score of 6 areas (e.g., personal growth, self-acceptance). Growth mind-set captured the belief that intelligence can be developed with effort. Regression results showed racial-ethnic microaggressions were associated with lower well-being and lower growth mind-set. Problem-focused and support-focused coping independently predicted higher well-being and greater growth mind-set. Racial social support coping buffered the negative association between racial microaggressions and well-being. Implications for the role of parents in the development of emerging adults’ resilience will be discussed. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15427609.2021.2014279 |
