Afrocentrism Stress Buffering Effects on U.S. Black Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans

This exploratory research seeks to understand the relationship between Afrocentrism, measured by the African Self-Consciousness Scale, and PTSD symptoms, measured by the PTSD Checklist-5, with racial trauma, measured by the Perceived Racism Scale, as a moderating factor. Racial trauma is hypothesized to moderate the association between Afrocentrism and PTSD symptoms.
