This study investigates how race-related stress affects mental health, specifically anxiety, in African Americans. Participants are 18-25 year old African American college students attending a Historically Black College in the Deep South. Race-related stress will be assessed by questionnaires measuring African Americans’ experiences of macro- and microaggressions. Participants will also complete a mental health survey to assess symptoms of anxiety. Data collection began in late October 2019 and we currently have over 350 participants. Questionnaire data will be entered into SPSS beginning in January 2020. We anticipate finding African Americans’ experiences of macro- and microaggressions will predict anxiety.
