Abstract

This study examined the mediating and moderating effects of racism-related stress in the relation between poverty-related risk factors and subjective well-being in a community sample of 283 African American adults. Participants were administered an inventory of biological, social, and psychological risk factors, the Index of Race-Related Stress–Brief Version, and the World Health Organization Quality of Life–Brief. Findings indicated that racism-related stress did not mediate the relation between poverty-related risk factors and subjective well-being. However, racism-related stress did moderate the relation between poverty-related risk factors and subjective well-being in our African American sample.
