This study examines the associations among online racial discrimination, traumatic events online, and trauma symptoms specific to racial discrimination in a sample of 245 Black youth, and finds positive associations between online racial discrimination, traumatic events online, and trauma symptoms of discrimination. The study also shows that gender identity does not significantly moderate these associations.
Online` racial discrimination and race-related traumatic events online have been linked to psychological distress in Black youth. The current study builds on extant literature by examining associations among online racial discrimination, traumatic events online, and trauma symptoms of discrimination, after controlling for gender identity and ethnic-racial setting of college in a sample of 245 Black youth. Additionally, this study examines the potential moderating effects of gender identity. This study is the first to examine the associations among online racial discrimination, traumatic events online, and trauma symptoms specific to racial discrimination. Path modeling revealed positive associations among online racial discrimination, traumatic events online, and trauma symptoms of discrimination. No significant differences in models were found by gender identity.
