Abstract
Objective: Black women’s experiences of gendered racism have implications for their mental health. The present study tested the associations between gendered racism, social support, and depression, theninvestigated whether gendered racial centrality buffered the impact of gendered racism on mental healthoutcomes. Method: Data from 237 Black college women (Mage = 22.04, SD = 4.02 years) were collectedusing an online survey, assessing gendered racism, social support, depression, and gendered racial identity.Results: We found that social support mediated (but did not moderate) the association between genderedracism and depression: More gendered racism was associated with decreased support, and consequentlymore depression. Also, higher gendered racial centrality buffered the indirect effect of gendered racism ongreater depression via lower social support.
