Specifically, if the self-efficacy of Black women is impacted when met with racial microaggressions. I predicted self-efficacy would be negatively associated with the experience of microaggressions. Participants reflected on a microaggression experience and answered questions regarding their general self-efficacy, racial microaggression experiences, and their Black identity. Although results demonstrated self-efficacy was not negatively associated with racial microaggressions as predicted, varying tenets of Black identity were associated with self-efficacy and racial microaggression experiences. Limitations and implications of the study are addressed, as this research contributes to our understanding of microaggression experiences for Black women.application/pdfracial microaggression, self-efficacy, intersectionality, Black women, racial identity, ethnic identityThesis2023-07-06
