“…The impact of racism on the psychological wellbeing of Black men is varied and depends on the number of internal and external factors. Although the clinical subsample of Black men in that study experienced similar levels of race-related stress, they had more negative outcomes regarding their psychological and emotional wellbeing [17]. Utsey & Payne suggested that other factors, such as coping style, buffer the consequences of racism for some individuals while others are susceptible to its harmful effects.…”

“…Zimmerman et al [19] found that parental support might play a role in alleviating anxiety and depression; however, youths' symptoms did not activate increased levels of parental support. Also in 2000, Utsey & Payne [17] found that although the Black men in their sample had similar experiences with everyday racism and race-related stress, there were differences in the psychological and emotional reactions to the chronic stress associated with everyday racism. The impact of racism on the psychological wellbeing of Black men is varied and depends on the number of internal and external factors.…”

“…Psychosocial coping is based on the premise that not necessarily the stressful events, but how the events are managed by an individual influences their mental health. Seven of the studies in this review emphasized the impact that psychosocial coping has on depression in Black men [10,[15][16][17][18][19][20]. While some articles discussed the negative coping strategies used by Black men (e.g.…”

“…While some articles discussed the negative coping strategies used by Black men (e.g. substance abuse, crime, and violence) as an effort to selfmedicate themselves for symptoms of anxiety and depression [10,[17][18][19], other studies suggested that, occasionally, Black men use positive coping strategies as mechanisms for healthy living [16,21,22]. Stress and coping models [23] have long suggested that provocative stressors (i.e.…”

Recent studies indicate that the health gap between Black men and men of other racial/ethnic groups in the US is widening, with Black men experiencing poorer health. Because mental health is an indelible component of overall health, addressing the health issues of Black men requires a critical examination of factors that influence the mental health of this population. Prior research suggests that Black men have more adverse life experiences than men of other racial/ethnic groups and, consequently, experience more depressive symptoms. However, limited research exists regarding depression and Black men. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to organize available evidence systematically, while examining the factors that lead to depression in Black men. Results from over two decades of literature suggest that psychosocial coping, economic status/income, and racism/discrimination are the major factors that contribute to depression and depressive symptoms in Black men. Although the first two factors are listed as factors for depression across races/ethnicities, the third, racism/discrimination, carries major implications for public health and, ultimately, for improving the health status of Black men. ß 2006 WPMH GmbH.

“…They have found that, even with a move to "symbolic" forms of discrimination (Sears 1988), the bodies and minds of racial minorities and low-income people suffer negative effects (Clark et al 1999;Landrine and Klonoff 1996;Utsey and Payne 2000;Díaz et al 2001). The effects of discrimination are even more marked when those subjects actually perceive the discrimination (Pascoe and Smart Richman 2009).…”

Displays of wealth and opulence in the face of dire need and poverty have become commonplace as the rich and the poor increasingly share city spaces around the globe. Research shows that it is the perception of inequality, more than raw measures of inequality, that has important political consequences and that is most concerning for social well-being. In this article, I propose a theoretical move from a general, statistically driven conceptualization of inequality to a spatially informed concept that recognizes how people experience inequality. Relying on findings that show that the perception of inequality is most important for life chances, I suggest that it is key to understand not only where inequality is located but how it is spatially distributed. Using the Mall of San Juan as an example of a spatially polarized landscape in Puerto Rico, and referring to other cases in Latin America, the article shows how the spatial distribution of inequality highlights the perceptual fields of citizens who may celebrate, succumb to, respond to, attune to, and/or challenge the inequalities accordingly. To shift from an accounting of inequality through the concept of segregation to recognizing the experience and perception of inequality through spatial polarization shifts the scholarly and policy frames of inequality research and policy.

Culturally sensitive counseling interventions are needed for African American boys in elementary school. Two important components of counseling African American boys are honoring the African worldview and building self‐confidence. Child‐centered group play therapy is a common intervention for elementary school children. In this article, the authors describe how child‐centered group play therapy with African American boys at the elementary school level honors the African worldview and facilitates their self‐confidence. Counseling implications and recommendations for research are discussed.
