Abstract
Negative relational schemas have been hypothesized to mediate the relationship of racial discrimination to depression. Participants completed scales assessing eight different relational schemas. Schemas reflecting concerns about invalidation and rejection, but not schemas related to vigilance and cynicism mediated the relationship of racism to depression in a racially diverse sample.
