“…For this review, we wanted to limit the search to instruments that focus primarily on assessing personal strengths that an individual would have agency around, rather than instruments, such as health-related quality of life, that are broader constructs with a subdomain assessing strength. Our search may have been biased toward Western epistemologies, thereby excluding important strengths such as cultural group membership and connection, as research in Black psychology emphasizes ( 51 ).…”

“…The current study examined whether skin tone affects perceptions of familial functioning, discrimination, and racial identity among a nationally representative sample of African American youth. Grounded in the integration of family systems and cultural misorientation theories and past literature on colorism in Black communities, we expected self-reporting dark-skinned African American youth to report higher levels of discrimination and lower levels of familial support (James et al, 2018; Jamison, 2015). We also expected differences in racial identity between African American youth based on their skin tone self-reports.…”

Racism and its ramifications are salient societal-level factors that detrimentally affect African American youth and families. Few studies have investigated how African American youth experience discrimination within families and society and colorism’s impact on racial identity, despite extensive racial discrimination research. We assessed whether the perceptions of African American youth of their skin tone affected their racial identity, familial functioning, and everyday discrimination, using the National Survey of American Life–Adolescent Supplement data. We found no significant relationships among skin tone perception, racial identity, familial functioning, or everyday experiences of discrimination. Conversely, age and gender differences were significant predictors of racial identity, family functioning, and discrimination reports. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of these findings for social work practice.

Half-Connecting Theory: Developing African Psychology Theory in a “Radical Beginnings” Direction

In existential philosophy, “radical beginnings” refers to the task of uncovering the earliest, constitutive moments of a phenomenon’s existence. In this article, the author develops African psychology in a radical beginnings direction by using the theory of half-connecting (HCT) to trace the origins of the African and European worldviews to the earliest stages of human development, particularly to the unconscious and physical bodies of people. It is found that the differences and tensions between the worldviews are traceable to their original and intimate relationship. It is also found that African and European worldviews do not operate only in obvious instances involving race and racism but in everything humans create, including in the technologies and infrastructures in the background of everyday life. Finally, the author discusses how HCT can help therapists expand their understanding of the sources of mental and behavioral distress, which may incite new, creative thinking around how disorders are treated.
