- Description:
- This study examines the correlation between the StrongBlackWoman schema, attachment strategies, and traumatic stress. This investigation was based on the premise that black women's experience with internalized racism, sexism, and classism influences their experience of traumatic stress and attachment development. Findings exemplify a positive correlation between the dismissive-avoidant attachment strategies and the StrongBlackWoman schema; as well as a positive relationship between dismissive-avoidance and secure attachment strategies among black women. The conclusions drawn suggest that black women who identify with the StrongBlackWoman schema use dismissive-avoidant attachment strategies to reorient themselves within social-political constructs that looks to dehumanize African Americans and women simultaneously.
