Religion in the Lives of African Americans: Social, Psychological, and Health Perspectives examines many broad issues including the structure and sociodemographic patterns of religious involvement; the relationship between religion and physical and mental health and well-being; the impact of church support and the use of ministers for personal issues; and the role of religion within specific subgroups of the African American population such as women and the elderly. Authors Robert Joseph Taylor, Linda M. Chatters, and Jeff Levin reflect upon current empirical research and derive conclusions from several wide-ranging national surveys, as well as a focus group study of religion and coping. Recommended for students taking courses in racial and ethnic studies, multicultural and minority studies, black studies, religious studies, psychology, sociology, human development and family studies, gerontology, social work, public health, and nursing.

Several factors contribute to the maintenance and development of well-being. For African Americans, two major factors are religiosity and racial identity, which are often central components in the definition of self within this population. Numerous studies have supported the positive relationship between each of these factors and well-being. Fewer studies have examined the impact of both variables on well-being. This study examined the relationships between religiosity, racial identity, and well-being in African American adults between the ages of 55 and 64 years (N=350). All participants completed measures of depression, neuroticism, and extraversion. A subset of participants (N=67) completed the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). Informants (N=300) completed measures of neuroticism and extraversion describing the participants. At the level of correlational analyses, both racial identity and religiosity were related to well-being. Higher levels of religiosity were associated with lower levels of participant- and informant-reported neuroticism, extraversion, and depression. Higher levels of racial identity were associated with lower levels of participant and informant-reported neuroticism, and depression. Neither racial identity nor religiosity was related to life satisfaction. Regression analyses predicting informant-reported neuroticism, as well as participant- and informant-reported extraversion and depression, revealed religiosity to be the stronger predictor of well-being. By entering religiosity and racial identity together in the second step of all regression models, we directly compared the contribution of each against the other. The model predicting life satisfaction was not significant. The results of this study suggest that although both racial identity and religiosity are related to well-being, religiosity is the stronger predictor of neuroticism, extraversion, and depression. Alternatively, neuroticism, extraversion, and depression are stronger predictors of religiosity than racial identity.

Presents research on how variations in African Americans racial self-concept affects meaning-making and internalized oppression. Focusing on the broad range of attitudes Black people employ to make sense of their Blackness, this volume offers the latest research on racial identity. The first section explores meaning-making, or the importance of holding one type of racial-cultural identity as compared to another. It looks at a wide range of topics, including stereotypes, spirituality, appearance, gender and intersectionalities, masculinity, and more. The second section examines the different expressions of internalized racism that arise when the pressure of oppression is too great, and includes such topics as identity orientations, self-esteem, colorism, and linked fate. Grounded in psychology, the research presented here makes the case for understanding Black identity as wide ranging in content, subject to multiple interpretations, and linked to both positive mental health as well as varied forms of internalized racism. With its impressive and varied research base, this is one of the most comprehensive books on the subject of racial identity. Scott L. Graves Jr., Duquesne University

Africana Health Psychology: A Cultural Perspective consists of a discussion of health psychology among populations of African descent throughout the diaspora and includes those living in the US such as Caribbean and continental Africans of color. The focus of this work is on health equity with an emphasis on cultural affirmation as protective factors. This book is unique because it merges Africana/Black psychology and health psychology, endorses a strength-based, rather than a deficits-based model of health among Black people, and describes research consisting solely of African-descended participants. From the first chapter designed to disrupt the narrative to the last chapter offering hope for a brighter day, the reader is asked to suspend all preconceived notions of Black people and health. Research findings from childhood to old age are explored in culturally grounded theoretical frameworks. Resilience and spirituality are key themes throughout this volume, meant to enhance cultural competency for practitioners, scholars, students, community members, and anyone interested in expanding their skill set or leaving their comfort zones.

Racial identity, religiosity and neighborhood conditions were utilized to predict physical/mental health and life outcomes for a low income African American population. Data from 1,181 adult interviews, which were part of the Mobile Youth Survey (MYS) were engaged in a secondary data analysis to answer the research questions. For the analyses, a Hierarchical Linear Model (HLM) framework, implemented in SAS PROC MIXED using maximum likelihood (ML) methods was used. From the various models tested, six of the eight potential dependent variables yielded significant results: physical health change and mental health change were not significant. Results suggested that all three of the predictor variables (racial identity, religiosity and neighborhood conditions) are variables that are significant predictors of the dependent variables (health and life outcomes). Interesting patterns arose in relation to the specific scales used to measure each of the independent variables. There were distinct differences in the predictive patterns of the sub-scales for discrimination and racial identity, as well as emerging predictive trends for the sub-scales related to religiosity. Also, there is a discussion regarding future research to help determine whether racial identity, religiosity and neighborhood conditions are exclusive items or inseparable constructs for African American populations.
