Book Description
The current study examined marital satisfaction and determined if racial identity or level of religiosity had an impact overall on marital satisfaction among married African American couples. The following instruments were used to measure marital satisfaction, racial identity, level of religiosity, and social desirability: the Marital Satisfaction Inventory- Revised (Snyder, 1997), Multidimensional Inventory of Black Identity (Sellers, Rowley, Chavous, Shelton, & Smith, 1998), Religious Life Inventory (Batson, Schoenrade & Ventis, 1993), and the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale (Reynolds, 1982). The majority of the 140 participants consisted of married couples recruited from three major Christian churches in Philadelphia, a local insurance company, and from multiple community based organizations. Results indicate that no single factor alone is predictive of marital satisfaction but a combination of factors produced a moderately significant multiple correlation. Significant relationships were found among marital satisfaction and the following factors: number of children, multiple subscales on the MIBI, and the external subscale on the Religious Life Inventory. Couples who had more children reported higher levels of marital satisfaction. Results also showed a significant relationship between marital satisfaction in couples who had similar views on racial identity when subscales were used as the sole measure of marital satisfaction and racial identity. Finally, there was a significant relationship between couples who report higher levels of marital satisfaction and also use religion as a means to satisfy their own needs through socialization, etc.

Book Description
Given the rapid and steady increase in African American-White interracial relationships since 1967, it is imperative to conduct research examining factors that influence relationship outcomes within interracial relationships. The current study examined main effects of African American partner and White partner color-blind racial attitudes, as well as their interaction, in predicting relationship outcomes (i.e., relationship satisfaction and perceived support) from the perspective of African Americans involved in African American-White, heterosexual, interracial relationships. In addition, the links between color-blind racial attitudes and racial identity status were examined. Participants were 62 African American-White, heterosexual, interracial dyads. Contrary to expectation, results indicated that the main effect of White partner color-blind racial attitudes was not significant in predicting African American partner relationship outcomes. Instead, African American partners' color-blind racial attitudes were positively associated with African American partner relationship satisfaction and African American partner perceived support in his or her White partner. Also contrary to expectation, no significant interaction emerged between White partner color-blind racial attitudes and African American partner color-blind racial attitudes in predicting neither African American relationship satisfaction nor perceived support. Correlation analyses of color-blind racial attitudes and racial identity statuses among African Americans revealed that Pre-Encounter Assimilation and Pre-Encounter Miseducation, as expected, were positively associated with unawareness of racial privilege, unawareness of institutional discrimination, and unawareness of blatant racial issues. Contrary to expectation, no significant correlations were found between more resolved racial identity statuses and color-blind racial attitudes for African American participants. Among White participants, consistent with expectation, a positive correlation was found between Disintegration and unawareness of blatant racial issues; however, the Reintegration status was not significantly correlated with White color-blind racial attitudes. Contrary to expectation, Contact status was positively related to unawareness of racial privilege and unawareness of blatant racial issues. A detailed discussion of the findings, suggestions for future research, and clinical implications are presented.

Book Description
Internalized racism was the topic of the current study. The emphasis of this study was on how African Americans deal with cultural racism and how it impacts their daily lives. One example of early internalized racism is Black teenage girls' dissatisfaction with their skin tones (Pyke, 2010). Internalized racial prejudice manifests itself in the adoption of American ideals of beauty, the devaluation of one's community, and the adoption of unhealthy habits (Campon & Carter, 2015). African Americans are a mixed group of people of many different backgrounds. The historical and contemporary links that link African countries American couples include marital satisfaction. Men and women of African descent have a strong marital bond secured by happiness and their religious convictions. An analysis of past and current studies on the internalized racism of African Americans inequality, marital happiness, and spirituality is provided in this paper. Through a literature review, topics such as how internalized ethnic discrimination makes people of color feel second-class in comparison to Caucasians and how church attendance increases African American couples' marital happiness were explored. Spirituality is very common among African Americans, and they demonstrate a long tradition of believing in and trusting in change. The variables of internalized racial discrimination, marital happiness, and spirituality were tested in the final debate. Questionnaires were administered and two experiments were performed for this causal comparative quantitative study.
