Online Racism, Smoking Motives, and Loneliness Among Black Emerging Adults: The Role of Rumination and Vigilance
Results suggest that online racism may be a potential risk factor that may motivate Black emerging adults to engage in smoking to cope with their anticipatory costs and the negative social implications of racism-related vigilance. The pathway tested in the current study provides considerations for interventions to disrupt the negative impact of online racism on smoking behaviors among Black emerging adults.
