Abstract

Negative schemas have been linked to racism and depression. Using two new scales, Cynical Vigilance and Rejection-Invalidation, we tested to see if/where there were any commonalities amongst relational schemas. This study found that Rejection- Invalidation was related to race related exclusion, ultimately mediating the relationship between racism and depression.
