= 11.56 years; 53% female). Data were from baseline questionnaire responses from a larger longitudinal study conducted in the Southeastern United States examining the effects of interpersonal stressors on youth mental health outcomes. Racial discrimination was directly and indirectly associated with internalizing concerns through rumination. Developmental age moderated the indirect link between racial discrimination and depressive symptoms via rumination with the association being stronger as participant age increased.

Such factors help to identify who is most at risk for the impact of racial discrimination and potential intervening targets. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).
